Durable and Lightweight Glass Reinforced Concrete Pits for Versatile Applications
Convic Australia offers high-quality Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Pits, engineered to deliver superior strength and durability while being significantly lighter than traditional concrete pits. These pits excel in electrical, communication, and drainage applications, providing a versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of infrastructure projects.
GRC Pits, composed of concrete and glass fibers, provide a solution that is up to ten times lighter than traditional steel-reinforced concrete. This reduction in weight makes these pits easier to transport and install, without sacrificing durability. Additionally, the lighter weight reduces transportation costs, allowing you to ship more pits in a single load, which further enhances efficiency on-site.
Our GRC pits are designed to handle the demands of heavy-duty applications. They comply with all relevant Australian and International Standards, including AS3996:2019, and are approved for installations up to 5 meters deep. Without steel reinforcement, these pits resist corrosion effectively, making them ideal for use in harsh environments. This ensures a long service life and dependable performance in various conditions.
GRC pits are perfect for a variety of uses, including:
Beyond their strength and versatility, GRC pits offer an environmentally friendly choice. We manufacture these pits locally, with a strong focus on sustainability, which helps reduce the carbon footprint of your project. Because GRC pits are lightweight, they require fewer resources for transport and installation, making them a cost-effective and efficient option for your infrastructure needs.
Convic Australia is dedicated to providing high-quality GRC pits that meet the specific needs of your project. We manufacture our GRC pits to the highest standards, which ensures their durability, reliability, and ease of use. With our extensive stock and fast delivery across Australia, you can rely on us to deliver the products you need, when you need them. Contact us today!
