Vital Engineering Platform

Define the requirement. Build the engineering route.

Use Vital GRP’s engineering tools to turn dimensions, loads, access requirements, environmental constraints and project evidence into a clearer technical brief. The tools help organise decisions; project-specific design and release remain with the responsible engineering team.

Define. Engineer. Make. Deliver.

One connected route from project question to technical review.

GRP Hop-Over Configurator

Build a compact crossing requirement for smaller obstructions where geometry, handling and access space matter.

Configure a hop-over →

GRP Load & Span Guidance

Review how clear span, load case, support arrangement and product evidence affect preliminary grating selection.

Review load and span →

Controlled outcomes

Every route should make uncertainty visible.

Within Standard

The entered requirement sits within the controlled route for that tool. Continue to the next defined output or review stage.

Designer Review Required

The project may be viable, but one or more inputs require engineering judgement, evidence verification or project-specific assessment.

Outside Standard Envelope

The requirement exceeds the assumptions of the automated route. Stop automated selection and refer the project to Vital Design & Engineering.

Technical review

Have drawings already?

Send the current layout, load requirements and project constraints. We can use the same information to move directly into survey, design, specification and delivery.

Technical project enquiry

Send the drawings.Show us the constraint.

Share whatever is available. A finished specification is not required; photographs, marked-up PDFs and partial dimensions can all help us identify the next responsible step.

  • Up to five drawings or photographs
  • Project and technical enquiries
  • Reviewed by the Vital GRP team
