Trenwa, a leading manufacturer of precast concrete trench systems, has recently installed its first Fibrelite trench covers in an electrical switchyard near the Sabic Innovative Plastics manufacturing facility in Indiana. This follows the announcement of Fibrelite’s new line of composite trench lids designed specifically for Trenwa’s pre-cast concrete road crossing trench.

The previously installed trench lids were made of steel, an extremely heavy material causing risk of injury during removal. Trenwa’s partnership with Fibrelite presented an opportunity for the switchyard to consider using a lighter weight alternative.
