Our Solutions Active TravelAt Wrekin Products, we are committed to supporting the development of active travel infrastructure across the UK, aligning with the guidelines set out by Active Travel England. Our range of innovative products such as pedestrian friendly gully grating and kerb draining systems are designed to enhance the safety, accessibility, and sustainability of pedestrian and cycling routes, contributing to the government's ambition for England to become a leading nation in active travel by 2030. 
 Our range of Highway gully gratings are fully compliant with the requirements of specification clause 6.2.47 of Cycle Infrastructure Design Local Transport Note 1/20 Pedestrian-Friendly GratingsOur pedestrian-friendly gratings - and unique Unite grating system, which incorporates a secondary grating - are engineered to provide safe and comfortable access for all users, including those with mobility challenges. These solutions are crucial for developing inclusive active travel networks, ensuring that walking and wheeling are viable and attractive options for short journeys within towns and cities. Whilst BS EN 124 provides no definition for a ‘Pedestrianised’ grating, there is an allowance in the Standard to reduce drainage apertures down to 5mm wide, where these may be preferred. However, this restriction is avoided, wherever possible, as such gratings may not satisfy a scheme’s drainage requirements unless its lower waterway area is taken account of in the scheme’s design calculations. Therefore, pedestrianised gratings need to balance aperture size that prevents wheels and shoes from becoming lodged in its slot apertures, with the required waterway (drainage) area. Pedestrian friendly gully gratesIn theory, all gratings compliant to BS EN 124 should be pedestrian and cycle safe. The Cycle Infrastructure Design Local Transport Note 1/20 advises against the use of slot drain type gratings. The vast majority of our gratings fall into this category, but the below gully gratings have been specifically designed to provide enhanced pedestrian friendliness.
PSRV 70+ Across the RangeWith a focus on safety, all our products are designed to meet or exceed the Paving Surface Reflectance Value (PSRV) of 70+, ensuring high visibility and slip resistance in all weather conditions. This characteristic is vital for active travel routes, where safety and confidence in the infrastructure are paramount. Together, ScrewLift, Unipak, and Uniform form an installation system that underscores our commitment to providing solutions that are not only robust and long-lasting but also quick and easy to install. This efficiency reduces installation costs and road closure times, benefiting both our clients and the public. Our comprehensive warranties and focus on whole life cost ensure that our products represent a sound investment for the future of active travel infrastructure.

Unipak
Screwlift
ScrewLift is our rapid manhole frame levelling system and is suitable for use with nearly all of our D400 and E600 manhole covers and gully grates.
Screwlift
ScrewLift is very straight forward to use and can be installed with any bedding mortar. 
Unite
When installed with either our Unipak polymer resin bedding mortar, or Instarmac Envirobed® CD534 flowable bedding mortar, the Unite range is available with a 10-year product warranty.
Unite
Due to its unique design and overwhelming success in the local authority and utilities sector, Unite is the proven choice for durability and longevity for highway ironwork installations. 
H2GO Kerb DrainageOur H2GO kerb drainage system is designed to manage surface water efficiently, ensuring that active travel routes remain safe and passable in all weather conditions. Effective drainage is crucial for the usability and maintenance of cycle lanes and footpaths, contributing to the overall appeal of active travel. H2GO is a BS EN124 D400 & BS7903 combined kerb and drainage unit intended for site fitment onto a Gully Chute Connector unit used in a Group 3 location. The H2GO assembly allows inspection, cleaning and rodding access via its hinged top lid. The H2GO itself comprises of a main body with BS EN 1340 half batter profile, a stainless steel turn-buckle lock (operated by the use of a dedicated key), a reversible side-hinged lid and an adjustable road retaining bar.
