Trusted Metal Grating & Safety Flooring Solutions
Founded in 1902, Integrated Knowledge Group has established itself as the nation's leading manufacturer of safety flooring and access infrastructure solutions. Through strategic mergers and acquisitions, including Irving Grating, Kerrigan Iron Works, and Gary Grating Company, we have built a legacy of excellence in metal grating and anti-slip systems. Our acquisition by Meiser and Dutco in 2023 solidified our position as the world's largest grating manufacturer, combining global expertise with localized service. With facilities in Texas, Indiana, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Mexico, we deliver Weldforged, Swage Locked, and Pressure Locked grating solutions for industrial, architectural, and infrastructure projects.Our team of engineers and fabricators specializes in BIM integration, project management, and rapid turnaround for complex installations. Backed by over a century of innovation, we maintain ISO-certified quality standards while offering proprietary technologies like MEBAC anti-slip coatings. Our commitment to reliability is demonstrated through 24/7 customer support, nationwide distribution, and tailored solutions for sectors ranging from power plants to hospitality venues.

Services
Welded Grating
Integrated Knowledge Group's Weldforged steel grating provides durable, lightweight flooring solutions for industrial applications. Manufactured using automated CNC welding, these carbon or stainless steel panels offer optimal strength-to-weight ratios with customizable finishes including galvanization and powder coating. Ideal for walkways, bridges, and maintenance platforms where ventilation and load-bearing capacity are critical.
Swage Locked Grating
Our Swage Locked aluminum grating features hydraulically swaged cross bars for corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance flooring. This lightweight solution suits water treatment plants, paper mills, and architectural applications requiring ADA compliance. Available in rectangular bar, I-Bar, and Safe-T-Grid configurations with optional MEBAC slip-resistant surfaces.
Pressure Locked Grating
Pressure Locked metal grating creates clean-lined architectural surfaces without heat distortion. Using interlocking slotted bars, this method produces ADA-compliant panels for pedestrian areas, screens, and decorative dividers. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with close bar spacing for safety and aesthetic requirements.
MEBAC Anti-Slip Coating
MEBAC metal-bonded anti-slip coating applies durable, zero-maintenance traction surfaces to grating and metal flooring. This arc-sprayed grit system maintains high friction coefficients under hazardous conditions, serving food processing plants, airports, and industrial facilities where slip prevention is critical for worker safety.
Plate Processing
Our in-house plate processing includes laser cutting, CNC forming, and precision bending for custom steel components. Capable of handling stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel up to 1" thickness, this service supports complex geometries for stair treads, transitions, and structural elements with tight tolerances and rapid turnaround.
