Key issues surrounding the existing trench covers and requirements for a replacement:

• Existing trench covers were in poor condition causing a potential trip hazard and manual handling issues
• The trench must be accessed every time the stadium hosts an event, meaning heavy duty equipment had to be hired to remove the heavy existing covers and trench covers each time resulting in higher costs
• Whilst replacement of the covers was essential, the client also sought a solution that would not disrupt the day to day running of the facility – any replacement covers had to fit directly into the existing trenches
