Infrastructure

We connect the essentials.

solutions made of steel, stainless steel, aluminum and GRP for all infrastructure areas

In the infrastructure sector, the highest demands are placed on material, safety and durability. Whether in railroad, road or bridge construction, in industrial plants or in municipal infrastructure – robust, corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance floorings are in demand everywhere.

Products made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) are becoming increasingly important here, as they are weather and corrosion resistant, non-conductive and slip resistant. In combination with classic materials such as steel, stainless steel or aluminium, Lichtgitter as a full-service provider for industrial floor coverings always offers the optimum solution – individually, efficiently and safely.

Bridge and road construction

In bridge and road construction, Gratings are used as walkways, maintenance platforms and coverings to ensure safe access and high load-bearing capacity - even in drainage channels and manholes.

Building and urban infrastructure

Gratings are used in a variety of ways in urban infrastructure - as dirt trap gratings, in light and ventilation shafts and in parking garages and ramps, where they are slip-resistant and highly resilient.

Industry and supply systems

Gratings and GRP gratings prove their worth in industry and energy plants as stable, corrosion-resistant treads on platforms, walkways and maintenance walkways. Their open structure ensures safety and good visibility.

Railroad infrastructure

GRP gratings are the first choice in the rail sector: non-conductive, corrosion-resistant and slip-resistant. They are used on platforms, platforms, cleaning systems and railway crossings, among other things.

Aviation and airports

Gratings have a wide range of applications in airports - for example in baggage handling-systems, as architectural elements in facades or parking garage cladding or maintenance walkways and platforms.

Power lines / transformer stations

Robust, slip-resistant solutions for safe access and maintenance areas are used on power lines and in substations. Non-conductive and corrosion-resistant materials and flame-retardant coverings help to protect sensitive systems.

Railroad infrastructure - possible applications

As a long-standing partner of Deutsche Bahn,
has already realized a wide variety of projects in the railroad sector.
Lichtgitter was one of the first companies
to receive approval from the Federal Railway Authority
(EBA) and HPQ qualification for GRP gratings at
.

Indoor and outdoor cleaning systems (IRA/ ARA)

GRP gratings and GRP-constructions are used for indoor and outdoor cleaning systems due to their high chemical resistance. Our products are particularly resistant to the aggressive cleaning agents.

Platforms, stages and walkways

Lichtgitter GRP platforms are manufactured entirely from GRP in accordance with recognized regulations. Even the substructure can consist of GRP profiles . Thanks to the weather-resistant material, GRP-constructions are a long-term solution that require virtually no maintenance . We only use GRP-profiles with CE marking for our constructions. Of course, Gratings and perforated metal planks made of steel are also suitable for this area of application.

Railway crossings

GRP is unearthed, electrically non-conductive and therefore the ideal material for railway crossings. Railway crossings consist of Gratings including the complete substructure. Thanks to our wide stock range and short production times we can react quickly to your individual application .

Escape, track and rescue routes

Due to the many production and surface options in both steel and GRP, escape and rescue routes can also be color-coded and thus have a signaling effect. A small mesh and a serrated surface also ensure a safe comfortable step.

Access platforms/stages

Access platforms and platforms are used to ensure that cleaning staff can also easily reach the trains outside a station. GRP platforms can be easily and quickly installed and fixed on site and are therefore ideal for this purpose. Mobile boarding aids have been developed to provide even greater flexibility. This small construction can be easily moved along a rail, allowing passengers to board the train at almost any point.

Bridge decks

Whether as a service route on a railroad bridge or as a footpath or cycle path - with industrial floor coverings from Lichtgitter, bridges are safe and comfortable to walk on. GRP has an extremely high durability and low maintenance costs due to its dimensional stability. Steel , on the other hand, meets almost any structural requirement.

GRP GRATINGS APPROVED BY THE BUILDING AUTHORITIES

Benefit from the general building approval!

Lichtgitter GRP gratings meet the requirements so that you can carry out your construction projects
properly. This gives you the assurance that you can use our GRP-
Gratings without ZiE / approval in individual cases.

AVIATION & Airports - Possible applications

Our solutions for the aviation sector are used wherever safety, efficiency and design come together. Whether in daily operation or in demanding environments – our products combine technical precision with functional aesthetics.

Baggage handling-systems

Our Gratings are used as walkways and platforms in this area. They enable safe and efficient working in baggage handling systems, offer high slip resistance and stability and are also easy to maintain and durable - ideal for demanding continuous operation in airports.

Architectural elements

In the field of architectural applications, especially for parking garage cladding, our Gratings offer an economical yet visually appealing solution. The use of industrial floor coverings as façade elements combines functionality, stability and modern design - ideal for durable, aesthetic and low-maintenance architectural concepts.

Maintenance routes & platforms

Our Gratings are used on maintenance walkways and platforms where safety, stability and slip resistance are crucial. They offer a durable, resilient and low-maintenance solution for everyday use - ideal for technical facilities, service areas and airport environments.

Taxiway gutters

Heavy duty gratings are used in taxiway channels. They are designed to withstand the highest loads from aircraft and ground vehicles and ensure reliable drainage, high bearing capacity and maximum safety.
