We would like to say a big congratulations to our Skipton facility’s Health & Safety Manager Alicja Pawlak.
Fibrelite was tasked with providing a retrofit 90 ton tonne load rated lightweight cover that could withstand the rigors rigours 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 colour coded yellow to denote fresh drinking water supply. The regional water authority had previously specified that the covers must be secured to prevent unauthorized unauthorised 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.
