Our GRP copers can be used as an alternative to heavy pre-cast concrete copers on an overbridge to increase a parapet height to prevent climbing and improve overall safety.
- Mekina GRP Copers have a high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning they can provide substantial impact resistance and structural stability without adding excessive weight to the bridge structure.
- Lightweight compared to commonly used stone copers, simplifying handling, transport, and installation. This faster installation minimises disruption to traffic and reduces labour costs. Unlike stone coper, individual sections can be easily replaced if required.
- Can be moulded to specific shapes and dimensions, making them extremely versatile to achieve a wide variety of bridge aesthetics.
- Highly resistant to environmental factors such as moisture, UV exposure, and temperature changes.
- Higher parapets can act as a more effective barrier, reducing the risk of falls or accidental collisions over the edge. Mekina GRP Copers are a rapid-install solution ideal for over-bridge parapets needing height adjustments to comply with latest safety practices and design specifications.
