Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from industrial catwalks in St. Thomas
Grating suited to the plant
Open bar grating, serrated grating, or checker plate is selected around washdown, dropped-object risk, and boot traction. The walking surface follows the plant environment.
Railings protect both sides
Handrails, mid-rails, toe boards, and self-closing gates are integrated where the catwalk crosses open edges or ladders. These details are part of the structure.
Sections fit around shutdowns
Industrial sites often install catwalks during limited downtime. Bolted sections and field-measured supports help the work fit real plant access.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your industrial catwalks with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
