SVC Pedestrian-Safe Grates (also called heelguard or heelsafe grates) are an essential drainage solution designed for use in public spaces open to high volumes of pedestrian traffic. Different to standard forgebar or weaved grating, our Pedestrian-Safe Grates feature a reduced aperture steel mesh surface above a robust forgebar design, reducing the OHS and liability risks of shoe heels becoming stuck or items falling through the grate.
Our Pedestrian-Safe Grates are load-rated in compliance with Australian Standards. Their simple, effective design makes them easy to incorporate into a multitude of applications including council footpaths, outdoor entertaining precincts, public parks, plazas and commercial landscapes.
SVC Pedestrian-Safe Grates provide an efficient inlet for water capture without compromising the safety of pedestrians, wheelchair users, or those with prams, ensuring a reliable, responsible solution for stormwater drainage.
