Power Generation

Magnox, The National Grid, and many more leading companies are specifying Fibrelite trench covers to improve efficiency and eliminate health and safety manual handling risks

Upgrading aging metal and concrete infrastructure

Back in the 1960s when many of these facilities were built, heavy concrete and steel or cast-iron trench covers were the only option available. Today, many sites are discovering deterioration of the structural integrity of their steel and concrete trench covers, exacerbating manual handling risks, and, where located on road crossings, potentially restricting vehicular access to certain areas of the site.

Lightweight, safe, retrofit FRP GRP composite trench and manhole covers

Many sites and companies (traditional electrical turbine and gas power stations and substations, nuclear, renewables and decommissioning) like Magnox and The National Grid are choosing to upgrade to Fibrelite’s made-to-measure heavy-duty lightweight FRP GRP composite trench covers, especially on road crossings, where both a high load rating and frequent safe access are required.

With an unrivaled unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio, Fibrelite’s highly engineered FRP GRP composite trench and manhole covers are significantly lighter than metal and concrete, yet just as strong, and can be retrofitted directly into the existing frames/rebate, avoiding the need to break concrete. Unlike metal and concrete infill covers, they are inert and impervious to corrosion from water and salt, as well as many other corrosive compounds.
