Enhanced Site Safety for all

Product Information

Made as a single mould of cross-threaded GRP (glass reinforced plastic) with a grit coating, each panel is guaranteed super strong, durable and slip resistant.

The grating and edge trim are modified on site by our team of specialist installers creating the wHOLE.Protect Void Protection System in accordance with CDM 2015 regulations.

Product Profiles

wHOLE.Protect™

PRODUCT ID: WP04SD

The 38mm2 grate covers the voids to improve safety for people on site, and to prevent debris like pebbles from falling through onto lower levels.

wHOLE.Protect Micro™

PRODUCT ID: WP11MC

With an even smaller grate of 19mm2 , the wHOLE.Protect Micro passed the 12mm ball test assuring that even the smallest pieces of debris are prevented from falling onto the deck below.

wHOLE.Protect Maxi™

PRODUCT ID: WP05MX

A deeper profile, the wHOLE.Protect Maxi™ provides added strength across longer spans saving on steel costs and providing flexibility for applications.

wHOLE.Protect Solid™

PRODUCT ID: WP04ST

For total peace of mind, this option provides complete protection with an added layer of solid GRP on top of the WP04SD standard grating. 

Design Considerations

To optimise the benefits of wHOLE.Protect and minimise unnecessary labour time, important factors need to be considered during the Design Stage, we have answered some common questions below.

Early Engagement is Key.

A. For our standard wHOLE.Protect (WP04SD) the maximum void width is 1.2 metres although we can accommodate almost any length. Should your void be larger that this, give us a call early and we can guide you through the options.

A. Yes. For small pipes and cables, these can be run through the wHOLE.Protect (WP04SD) or wHOLE.Protect Micro (WP11MC) grating. It is also possible to cut all the wHOLE.Protect products to allow larger services. Give us a call early and we can review each requirement specifically.

A. Yes. Our wHOLE.Protect Solid (WP04ST) system provides complete peace of mind, offering a solid-top finish ensuring no items or vapours can pass through.

A. Yes. The wHOLE.Protect system can accommodate shear studs to the beams trimming the void, although this is dependent on the size of beam and location of the slab edge. Give us a call and we’ll guide you through this.

A. Yes. Although more commonly used with floor decking, we have successfully installed wHOLE.Protect on a range of roof decking projects. The grating can be supported either directly on the structural steelwork, directly onto the deck or on a specially adapted flashing.

A. The maximum load varies depending on the wHOLE.Protect product specified and when and how it is to be used e.g. whether in its Temporary state (i.e. when we install it) or in its Permanent state (i.e. when the concrete is cast). It’s best to give us a call to discuss the conditions of use OR download the Technical Data & Structural Calculations for Load information.

A. No. Our CAD design team detail different bearing scenarios to ensure that wHOLE.Protect is installed as flush to the concrete slab as possible eliminating trip hazards. Call us to discuss your bearing requirement or download the Product Information Guide, which details 6 different design scenarios.
