Shortly after initial contact was made by BBI, the Fibrelite team attended the site to assess the problem and propose the best solution.

The Fibrelite engineering team then created a tailormade FRP GRP trench access cover solution which included a number of bespoke cover dimensions in various quadrilateral and triangular shapes (below) for terminating trench ends. This minimized minimised disruption of the site, allowing the majority of the covers to be fitted into existing frames.

Covers were manufactured at A15, C250 and D400 load ratings as required. Custom manufactured frame sections at 76mm, 81mm and 101.6mm were also supplied.

Key features of Fibrelite covers for this installation:

• Lightweight, alleviating health and safety risks
• No specialist equipment required to remove or replace – easy two-person manual lift using Fibrelite’s ergonomic lifting handles
• ‘Fit and forget’ – maintenance-free covers will last for years to come
• Aesthetically pleasing
