King Henry VIII School – Abergavenny, Wales

In collaboration with Whitehead Building Services and Morgan Sindall Construction, Gripple supported the delivery of a £63 million school development project with innovative solutions that made a real difference. From split deliveries for efficient inventory management to technical designs that streamlined installation and reduced waste, our contributions helped keep the project on track.

Onsite support ensured smooth implementation and elevated health and safety standards, through the thorough system training provided. As a trusted UK manufacturer, Gripple provides contractors with complete material traceability and sustainability insights through tools like EPDs and embodied carbon reporting, helping the project achieve key environmental targets without compromising on quality or compliance.

We implemented the 10 Ton Challenge initiative for this project to reduce carbon emissions on the project by 10 tons. Using Gripple products played a key role in achieving this goal, supported by robust data such as EPDs and other sustainability documentation. This comprehensive information made it straightforward to demonstrate and communicate the carbon reduction benefits effectively.

We chose the Gripple Fast Trak bracket system for its ease of installation. It comes prepackaged, all cut to length, eliminating the need for hot works on-site. We’re not having to spin nuts up the rods – it’s literally push the end caps in and up you go up to the desired height. The site guys found the switch very good, as Gripple produced drawings to follow, stating what brackets go where, the length, and the size. From an install point of view, it flowed seamlessly.
