Round Ribbed Arms PVC Footstep

Product Specification

The Round Ribbed Arms PVC Footstep is a heavy-duty safety and access accessory designed for installation in concrete walls, manholes, inspection chambers, water tanks, drainage structures, utility shafts, and other RCC structures where safe climbing and access are required.

Manufactured by Mitro Industries, this PVC Footstep combines a strong internal FE 550 TMT bar with a durable 100% virgin PVC body. Its specially designed round ribbed arms provide improved grip inside the drilled hole, allowing the footstep to be securely installed in an existing concrete wall.

The footstep can be installed in two ways: it can be positioned before concrete casting so that the arms become embedded in the concrete, or it can be post-installed after the concrete wall has been cast by drilling suitable holes and fixing the ribbed arms inside the wall.

The top surface features a specially engineered anti-skid pattern, helping provide a secure foothold when climbing or accessing concrete structures.

Key Features of Round Ribbed Arms PVC Footstep

1. Round Ribbed Arms for Secure Installation

The specially designed round ribbed arms provide enhanced mechanical grip when installed inside drilled holes in concrete. The ribbed profile helps improve anchoring and retention of the footstep.

2. Post-Installation in Existing Concrete Walls

Unlike conventional footsteps that may require installation before concrete casting, this PVC Footstep can also be installed after the concrete wall has been constructed by drilling appropriate holes and fixing the ribbed arms.

3. Strong Internal TMT Reinforcement

The PVC body can incorporate FE 550 TMT reinforcement, providing a strong internal structural element. Standard reinforcement is available in 12 mm, with 10 mm and 16 mm options available depending on application requirements.

4. Customizable Reinforcement Material

For specialized applications, the internal bar can be customized using stainless steel (SS) or other suitable materials, subject to application and manufacturing requirements.

5. Anti-Skid Top Surface

The top surface incorporates a specially designed raised pattern that provides an anti-skid foothold, helping users climb and access concrete structures more securely.

6. 100% Virgin PVC Construction

The footstep is manufactured using 100% virgin PVC Foodgrade material, providing a durable protective body around the internal reinforcement.

7. Durable Construction Accessory

The combination of a robust PVC body and reinforced internal bar makes the footstep suitable for demanding construction and infrastructure applications.

8. Suitable for Repetitive RCC Applications

Its standardized dimensions and installation flexibility make it suitable for projects involving multiple manholes, inspection chambers, shafts, tanks, and concrete structures.

Dimensions of PVC Footstep

The standard Round Ribbed Arms PVC Footstep manufactured by Mitro Industries has dimensions of

260 mm × 165 mm × 25 mm

• Length : 260 mm

• Width : 165 mm

• PVC body thickness : 25 mm

• Standard internal bar : 12 mm

• Available bar options : 10 mm, 12 mm and 16 mm

Custom dimensions and reinforcement specifications can be considered for project-specific requirements.

PVC Footstep Installation Methods

Method 1 : Installation Before Concrete Casting

The PVC Footstep can be positioned at the required location before concrete is poured. During concrete casting, the ribbed arms become embedded within the concrete structure, creating an integrated access step.

This method is suitable for new RCC structures where the locations of access footsteps are known during formwork and reinforcement preparation.

Method 2 : Post-Installation After Concrete Casting

The Round Ribbed Arms PVC Footstep can also be installed in an existing concrete wall.

The general installation process involves

1. Mark the required footstep position on the concrete wall.

2. Drill holes of the appropriate size and depth according to the installation requirement.

3. Clean the drilled holes properly.

4. Insert the round ribbed arms of the PVC Footstep into the prepared holes.

5. Use the specified fixing/anchoring method suitable for the concrete and project conditions.

6. Check the footstep for secure installation and alignment before use.

Important : Hole diameter, hole depth, anchoring method, spacing, and installation procedure should be determined according to the actual footstep design, concrete condition, load requirements, and site engineering specifications.

Advantages of Round Ribbed Arms PVC Footstep

The Round Ribbed Arms design offers several practical advantages

• Suitable for new and existing concrete structures

• Can be installed after concrete casting

• Round ribbed arms provide improved grip inside drilled holes

• Strong internal FE 550 TMT reinforcement

• 10 mm, 12 mm and 16 mm bar options

• SS and other reinforcement material options can be customized

• Anti-skid top surface for improved foothold

• Durable virgin PVC body

• Standard 260 mm × 165 mm × 25 mm dimensions

• Suitable for manholes, chambers, shafts and RCC structures

• Useful for repetitive infrastructure construction

• Helps provide convenient access inside concrete structures

Why Choose a Ribbed PVC Footstep for Concrete Walls?

A footstep installed inside a concrete manhole, chamber, or shaft needs to provide a stable foothold while remaining securely fixed to the structure. The round ribbed arms of this design are intended to provide mechanical engagement within the installation holes.

The ability to install the footstep after concrete casting also provides flexibility during repair, retrofitting, modification, or construction projects where footsteps were not installed during the original casting process.

The anti-skid upper surface further helps provide a more secure contact area for the user's foot.

FE 550 TMT Bar Options

The standard internal reinforcement can be manufactured using FE 550 TMT bar, with the following bar diameter options

• 10 mm

• 12 mm – Standard

• 16 mm

For specialized requirements, Mitro Industries can consider stainless steel or other suitable reinforcement materials based on the application, design, and project requirements.
