The previously installed concrete trench access covers over an oxygen pipework trench at this hospital were causing a number of issues due to both their weight and deterioration.
Fibrelite are proud to say that we have formed strategic partnerships with a number of major manufacturers of precast and preformed troughs.
After a previous successful installation for this end user, BBI (Beacons Business Interiors Ltd) contacted Fibrelite to supply a lightweight retrofit trench covering arrangement to replace previously installed failing concrete covers. Load ratings varied from A15 to D400.
The previous installation was a concrete covering arrangement which was presenting a number of problems:
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 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 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:
Fibrelite delivered the bespoke solution just over 1 month after receiving the order. The customer expressed an interest in updating further UK facilities with Fibrelite trench covers.
