Temporary gully grate

MultiGrate™

Stolen gully grates are a severe problem for authorities responsible for roads and highways. Multigrate provides a high-quality, safe, easy-to-install, temporary fix to keep roads open until a permanent solution can be installed.

Responding to gully grate theft often means several visits for maintenance crews to complete the installation of a replacement cover, leading to increased traffic disruption and extra costs.

Multigrate is designed to be fitted efficiently by a maintenance crew on the first visit. Its robust design forms a secure temporary grate until a permanent replacement is installed. The grate is easily cut on-site to fit the exact size of the gully using standard tools and the built-in cutting guidelines ensure an accurate fit with most inspected gratings.

Multigrate is lightweight, can be stored as part of a maintenance crew’s standard equipment, is non-toxic and importantly has no scrap value.

Case study

Essex Council

Around 40 ductile double triangular gully grates were removed by thieves in a semi-rural area of Essex which incorporates Saffron Waldron, Bishop Stortford and Braintree, putting vehicles, drivers and pedestrians at risk from hazardous open gullies.

Responding to gully grate theft often means several visits by maintenance crews to complete the installation of a replacement cover, leading to increased traffic disruption and extra cost.
