Read MoreFibrelite’s custom lightweight F900 (90-tonne load rated) GRP trench covers were specified for this Northern Irish container port.
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.
Fibrelite was tasked with providing a retrofit 90 ton load rated lightweight cover that could withstand the rigors and working environment of an extremely busy commercial port.
The initial approach came from the port’s maintenance team who were exploring alternative replacement options for the extremely heavy and corroding steel covers that required dedicated lifting equipment, which incurred substantial financial costs with equipment, manpower and time, every time fresh water was transferred to the ship.
The replacement covers that Fibrelite supplied were load rated to F900 and color coded yellow to denote fresh drinking water supply. The regional water authority had previously specified that the covers must be secured to prevent unauthorized access so Fibrelite provided a bolt down version so that the trench covers could be secured to the existing frame.
One of the port’s work inspectors was quoted as saying “You will be pleased to hear that the works was completed yesterday and going forward will prove to be a huge improvement to our delivery of water to vessels”.
The Fibrelite lightweight composite trench covers can be used for a multitude of applications: from ports and dockyards, industrial facilities, airports, HGV loading areas.
