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 were contacted in the early part of 2020 by a third-party construction company. They had been requested to source a FRP covering arrangement for their client’s service duct trenches at a major UK based manufacturing and research facility.
Operational difficulties posed by the previously existing concrete cover slabs led to an essential replacement program being mandated. The end user had recently moved into the facility and established that an alternative covering solution would be needed to optimize future operations due to specialist personnel and machinery being required for removal and replacement of concrete slabs and other issues including:
A smooth finish was also required (no tread pattern).
Following the requested site survey, which was completed by the Fibrelite team, a solution was presented to the end user. A collaborative process between the Fibrelite team the construction company and the end user was instrumental in engineering an appropriate solution for this unique upgrade project. Fibrelite FRP covers are extremely durable yet lightweight making them ideal for easy manual handling (designed to be removed manually by two people).
Key Fibrelite engineering achievements for this project:
The easy access solution provided by Fibrelite eliminates the need for specialist personnel or machinery during maintenance or operation.
