Drain Grates
Stormwater drain grates are a key element required for civil construction, used across multiple project applications including major road infrastructure, municipal drainage networks and standalone residential or commercial drainage systems. Several types of grates are available to suit these varying applications, differing by load class, materiality, grate pattern and inflow capacity.
Drainage grates are typically made from hot-dip galvanised steel or heavy-duty ductile iron, ensuring robust performance and long-lasting durability in the built environment. Stormwater applications may require flat or V-shaped drain grates, used in conjunction with stormwater pits, or trench grates, which are required for linear drainage channels.
All stormwater grates supplied by SVC are industry-compliant and tested to meet the requirements of the Australian Standard, VicRoads and council standards where necessary. All SVC drain grates have a minimum bike-safe rating, while a pedestrian-safe range of heelproof grating is also available.

Drain Grates: Steel & Metal Grates for Stormwater & Trench Applications
SVC offers a diverse range of steel grates to suit multiple stormwater drainage applications. These high-performing metal grates comply with the Australian Standard AS 3996:2019 and are stocked in standard load classes A, B, C and D. Higher load class grates (Class E, F, G) may be available on a made-to-order basis.
The loading classes for steel metal grates are dependent on the environment in which they will be installed. The lower-rated load classes of A and B are typically used in off-road applications such as garden beds, nature strips or driveways, whereas grates used in VicRoads roadside applications will require higher load classes of C, D or E due to their proximity to vehicle traffic.
