Bespoke Headwall and Grating

Bespoke Headwall and Grating 

The headwall and grating shown are a bespoke design based on a clients sketch for a project in Downderry, Cornwall. The headwall only required 1 wingwall due to the customer wanting a concrete footpath on the right hand side that the headwall would then butt up against. The trash screen required a working platform for maintenance purposes and is manufactured to BS EN 1090 standards.

For more information on the types of headwalls we offer please visit our headwalls section or if you cannot find the headwall you are looking for use our design form or email us sales@althon.co.uk
