When we introduced our range of GRC Pits<\/a> in the mid-1980\u2019s the industry had never seen anything like it.\u00a0 Council and Water Board Inspectors across NSW would not allow the products to be installed often stating \u201cthere\u2019s no way a pit with those thin walls will do the job\u201d.<\/p>\n

We had underestimated the markets acceptance of our new lightweight concrete pit (and possibly underestimated how innovative our new product was).\u00a0 Armed with our engineering details, drawings and test results, we set about visiting every local Council and Water Authority presenting our pioneering new GRC Pit.<\/p>\n

Whilst many authorities simply accepted our product based on the evidence we provided, others wanted to test the product themselves.\u00a0 With the assistance of local plumbers and drainers, our Mascot GRC Pits were installed in test scenarios in various councils \u2013 driveways, gardens, roads etc.\u00a0 We persevered with the Council Inspectors who visited and reviewed the product in action eventually gaining approvals for our pits.<\/p>\n

Today, whilst we still go through approval processes with various asset owners and trade waste<\/a> authorities for specific scenarios, regions or sites, our Mascot GRC Pits are accepted across the country.<\/p>\n

With over 22,000 Mascot GRC Pits & Risers manufactured and installed in Australia each year, we\u2019re pretty confident that we are Australia\u2019s most relied upon Pit, Cover, Grate and Waste Water Products manufacturer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
