Trinity Shopping Centre, Leeds, UK

Fibrelite supply shopping center centre with 90m of composite trench covers

Project overview

190 Fibrelite trench covers are now installed in the state of the art Trinity Shopping Center Centre in Leeds. The consulting engineers specified Fibrelite for this project for ease of access to cable ducts that run all over the site. The panels are non-slip for a safe working environment in busy service areas in the center centre.

British made composite trench panels

With the head office in Skipton, North Yorkshire (and also manufacturing facilities in the US and Malaysia) Fibrelite is the world’s leading and largest manufacturer of composite manhole, trench and access covers and recognized recognised internationally as an innovator in composite technology.

Ensuring a perfect fit, the panels are checked in the encapsulating frame before delivery

Benefits include:

  • Lightweight covers enabling easy and safe manual handling
  • Wide range of sizes and loadings available
  • Independent wet and dry tests carried out by Devon CC Materials Laboratory showed that Fibrelite manhole and trench covers – even when wet – have anti-slip/skid properties far exceeding health and safety advisory limits
  • Will not corrode
  • Zero resale value to the scrap market so will never be stolen

Fibrelite: The one-stop-shop for trench covers

Fibrelite’s trench panels have a standard width of 450mm, with lengths ranging from 800 to 1600mm. With lengths increasing in 50mm increments (800, 850, 900mm and so on) the customer found that all requirements for different load ratings and sizes could be catered for by Fibrelite. For this project B125, C250 and D400 panels were all used in lengths of 800, 1000, 1400 and 1600mm.
