    The document compares the life cycle costs of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) gratings and metal (MS) gratings. It provides data on the maximum recommended load limits and costs for different grating materials, mesh sizes, clear spans, and heights. FRP gratings made through moulding have lower total lifecycle costs than pultruded FRP gratings or MS gratings due to lower installation and recurring maintenance costs, despite having a similar initial material cost.
