Ports are busy highly trafficked areas, with many underground utilities which must be covered while easily accessible. The covering solution must be strong enough to withstand container carrying vehicles, the corrosive environment (saltwater, fuel) and all weather conditions.
As part of the extension of Container Terminal DCT Gdańsk (by construction company Besix) our Polish distributor Corrimex was approached to provide a strong, corrosion-resistant, easy to remove access solution.
To cover the access pits, modular lightweight trench covers were supplied at a D400 load rating, allowing for safe two-person removal. For the water valve pits, sealed composite covers and frames were supplied at F900 load rating, which are light enough for safe single-person removal.
All Fibrelite covers are designed to be manually removed/replaced by either one or two people using the Fibrelite designed lifting handle(s) even at F900 (90 ton) tonne) load rating. They also have an inherent resistance to corrosion and are hardwearing even in the harshest environment (extensively tested, see reports).
Pawel Gross at Corrimex (our Polish distributor) said:
“The Port owner and installer were both impressed at how light and easy to handle the covers were at high load ratings”
