A series of 8 trenches were previously covered by traditional concrete panels but with constant heavy foot traffic the covers had crumbled and created trip hazards. What’s more, the concrete was extremely heavy so difficult and unsafe to remove. Metal covers were considered as a replacement but the following benefits meant Fibrelite’s FRP GRP composite covers were preferred:

• Lightweight for easy and safe manual removal
• Non-slip properties equivalent to a high-grade road
• Will not corrode/rust
• Will not be stolen as there is zero resale value to the scrap market
• Chemically inert
• Extremely strong and durable
• Significantly less CO₂ footprint in production and transport
