Pipe Grilles

Secure Steel Grilles to Protect Drainage Pipe Outlets

Description

SVC Pipe Grilles are available to suit standard Melbourne Water specifications, installed as a flat cover over an overflow pit to capture excess surface water. The grill design effectively prevents rubbish and unwanted particles from entering the waterway.

Constructed from hot-dip galvanised steel, SVC’s robust pipe grilles provide enduring performance in the outdoor environment, exhibiting excellent resistance to rust, corrosion and wear and tear. The pipe grille is bolted down into the pit walls to prevent unauthorised or accidental entry into the drainage system, and the evenly-spaced tubular grille design keeps out large debris.

Custom pipe grilles are also available on a made-to-order basis to cater to special project applications, where they may be used to cover large drainage inlets and outlets or weir pits. When uncovered, these openings can pose a hazard to pedestrians and risk entry of unwanted debris or wildlife into the drainage network.

Providing an essential finishing element for stormwater drainage, flow control and waterway management, SVC’s steel pipe grilles provide a reliable solution for wetland projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a custom-sized pipe grille?

Yes. In addition to our range of standard sizes designed to fit common pipe diameters, we can fabricate custom pipe grilles to suit unique or non-standard pit or outlet dimensions for your project. These can be made with access hatches as required.

Are SVC pipe grilles lockable?

SVC's standard pipe grilles are designed to be bolted directly over the pit or outlet, with no opening mechanism or allowance for access.

Custom pipe grilles for applications requiring maintenance access can be produced with hinged boltdown hatches, which secures them against unauthorised access while allowing authorised personnel to open them for maintenance.

Where are pipe grilles typically installed?

Pipe grilles are commonly used in Melbourne Water applications on overflow pits, where water overflow from ponds and catchments is redirected into the drainage system to prevent flooding.

They may also be installed over stormwater outlets at the discharge point where stormwater empties into a creek, river, or open drainage channel.

What does the “clear opening” measurement mean?

The clear opening refers to the size of the open space or void beneath a cover or grate, and typically matches the internal size of the pit chamber below. It is the most critical dimension when ordering pit covers.

Access covers and grates are usually larger than the clear opening size in order to sufficiently cover the pit beneath. It is important to note that any dimensions in the product descriptions typically refer to the nominal clear opening, not the external dimensions of the cover or grate itself. For specific product dimensions, SVC can provide technical datasheets or product drawings for accuracy.
