International Steel Service Center ‘Direct Metals’ Supplies Galvanized Bar Grating for Overpass Project
March 28, 2017 – Kennesaw, GA – Direct Metals, an international steel service center with locations in Kennesaw, GA and Waukegan, IL, recently supplied 914 sq. ft. of 1-1/2" x 3/16" Serrated Galvanized 19W4 Bar Grating from their Waukegan warehouse to Grayslake, IL for the village’s Washington Street overpass project.
Direct Metals provided 22 unique part sizes of bar grating totaling 90 pieces. Each piece is notched and banded to fit around the girder stiffeners and handrail posts. The grating is attached to the structure using galvanized saddle clips and self-tapping screws.
The new Washington Street Railroad Bridge is built over Washington Street and eliminates the current at-grade railroad crossing. Construction began in 2015 and is due for completion in the fall of 2017.
Serrated bar grating is a great choice for walkway flooring because it provides extra grip for walking. Bar grating allows precipitation to pass through its open spaces, keeping rain, snow and ice from accumulating on the walkway’s surface, further reducing the chance for slips by pedestrians.
