Storm Drain Grates and Side Entry Pit System from EJ

Storm drain grates are the openings to stormwater drainage systems, and are a critical public infrastructure asset. Specifying the right drainage access solution is a vital part of a stormwater drainage system. Drainage castings or grates are designed to facilitate and drain excess rain or groundwater from its surrounding surface.
Choosing storm drain grates requires a proper analysis of the functions the drainage grate must perform. Civil contractors must review the drainage requirements and specify the functions necessary for satisfactory drainage grates. The design of storm drain grates must always conform to the needs of the travelling public as well as those of the local community through which it passes. Storm drain grates are available in spherical, square, and rectangular shapes.

- Specially designed V grating bars to facilitate maximum water drainage
- Use of spring bar, instead of traditional bolts, for self-locking feature

- Pedestrian and bicycle safe design
- Two hinged part for 700 and 800 dimensions

Apart from their premium storm drain grates, EJ has also transformed the traditional side entry pit systems with the release of COMMANDO™.

Cleaning side entry pit system is an integral process to ensure that the drainage system is working efficiently. COMMANDO™ is installed on footpaths for an off-roadway drainage pit for inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of side entry pit systems.
COMMANDO™ can be used for new installations, or retrofit applications. It is supplied in a hot dip galvanised mild steel frame for new installation projects in either a kerb in-line or back-of-pit setup. A Kerb in-line set up needs a heavier frame at the front leading edge to assist vehicles that might accidentally mount the kerb.
For side entry covers that need upgrading, COMMANDO™ is delivered onsite without its galvanised mild steel frame. COMMANDO™ should fit into the existing infrastructure without needing additional works.
COMMANDO™ is made up of composite structure materials and thermosetting resin to achieve a significantly high resistance to UV light degradation effects.
COMMANDO™ side entry pit system provides its end users with the following benefits:
- COMMANDO™ can be used in a single or dual pit applications
- Durable and long lasting
- COMMANDO™ is a lightweight material that is easy to lift
- Anti-slip properties
- Tamper-proof
- Easy to use with Australian Standard lifting key
- Customised covers and moulded lettering for names - say goodbye to sprayed stencil ID!
- Available in several colours for definite personalisation
- Non-combustible side entry pit system
