In this project we were approached by an OEM who provides Onshore Power Supply (OPS) systems, to quote for this large leisure cruise terminal upgrade project. The end user had previously considered Ductile Iron covers to cover the troughs housing the HV power cables and associated fixtures for their newly acquired OPS (Onshore Power Supply) system, but due to the weight of these covers and the need for specialised lifting equipment, the end user turned to Fibrelite for a solution.

From design through to delivery and installation, the Fibrelite team supported the customer to ensure this made-to-measure solution would perform exactly as specified. The Fibrelite trench covers supplied (65 kg) are approximately 82% lighter than the proposed Ductile Iron covers, allowing for safe manual handling, which in turn ensures operatives can safely gain access to trench services as frequently as required.
