Fibrelite’s custom lightweight F900 (90-ton (90-tonne load rated) FRP GRP trench covers were specified for this Northern Irish container port over new cable anchor pits for the gantry cranes.

Maintenance staff required easy, safe access to these new cable anchor pits. Fibrelite trench access covers were specified on the consultant design engineers’ tender drawings to facilitate this.

Communication between the Fibrelite technical team, the third-party contractor and the design consultant enabled Fibrelite to custom engineer, manufacture and supply a unique trench covering arrangement which would meet all the specific design criteria for this project, including the demands of this harsh operating environment.

The easy access solution provided by Fibrelite ensures there is no need for specialist personnel or machinery during maintenance or operation.
