Storm Drain Grates from EJ

Storm drain grates are a vital part of drainage system management. Their functionality help in reducing possible flood damage by facilitating drainage of stormwater, or excess surface water to a stormwater network. Aside from carrying water away from communities, storm drain grates offer a safe walking and biking surface. They provide equal access to all modes of transportation whilst accommodating local city council's drainage requirements.

At EJ, the focus on safety, functionality, and ergonomics are considered to be the pillars of what makes up an innovative access solution of the 21st century.

EJ is proud to present the result of a worldwide research and collaboration that creates the best infrastructure solutions to the most demanding environments. One of many solutions are the Hinged Gully Grate Assemblies. This line of products is manufactured with high regard for optimised design, ease of use, and safety and security.

Optimised Designs
Through years of experienced craftsmanship, EJ has developed a more controlled manufacturing process and a better understanding of design practices that best meet the client, standard, and local city council's requirements.

EJ castings offer a superior functionality that comes in a lightweight material for increased energy and time efficiency.

Equipped with state-of-the-art tools to ensure high-quality and custom-made parts for a wide variety of applications, all products are checked, tested, and approved by Third Party NATA accredited laboratories.

Ease of Use
The design integrates reliability and ergonomics into its features to achieve a simple and effortless manoeuvre of opening. Hinged Grate Assemblies are manufactured to minimise effort and reduce back strains.

Safety and Security
Safety and security are one of the core values embedded and practised in our EJ culture. Safe practices are integrated into every process, product, and service being provided to each customer. Starting from the planning stage, design, manufacturing, quality check, and distribution - safety and security is imperative.

The Innovative Product
The Tempo and Tempo PLUS with Slam Lock is one of the products from the Hinged Manhole and Grate Assemblies line. The heavy duty storm drain grate is an ideal application for drainage inlets that require a higher level of security, as compared to a stand-alone frame and grate system.

The ductile iron storm drain grates are usually installed in areas where a heavy pedestrian or motor traffic are expected. They have a patented slam lock closure feature that prevents the storm drain grates from opening involuntarily and obscures the lock from unauthorised access.

The slam lock moves when the storm drain grates are shut closed preventing it from being opened inadvertently. From its closed position, the seamless design hides the latch from untrained eyes, making it difficult for an unauthorised person to open and remove the grate. The slam lock makes the storm drain grates secured and theft deterrent.

The Tempo and Tempo PLUS with Slam Lock contains minimal rest points, which decreases the contact points around the frame, resulting in less noise and movement.

Self-wedge seating is angled to prevent the storm drain grates from rocking when traffic brought about by pedestrian or vehicles pushes the grate into the frame. It has an anti-slip texture for additional pedestrian safety.

The lightweight grates can be opened to 115° and can be removed at 90°. Its ductile iron frame and grate satisfactorily meets the AS 3996 (Standard Specification for Ductile Iron Castings) requirements.

Specifiers can request to have the storm drain grates personalised with instruction markings or special lettering cover options.

EJ practices social responsibility in every aspect and part of their manufacturing process. This entails careful deliberation and planning of products that will not only satisfy their customers but will also have a great impact on the local community's safety and environment.
