The client singled out their concrete trench access covers for immediate replacement before they completely deteriorated. The covers had become heavily fractured and chipped over time, allowing the trench to be contaminated with dust and debris.

The previously installed concrete covers were also very heavy with (hired) specialist lifting equipment required to remove them: making it a time consuming and expensive process. They also posed a risk of injury to maintenance teams.

Fibrelite custom designed and manufactured bespoke composite trench access covers for the countryside manor. These lightweight covers can withstand loads of up to 25 tonnes, replacing the heavy, deteriorating concrete trench covers that were previously installed. Furthermore, Fibrelite custom manufactured the trench covers to be a colour that blended in with their surrounding courtyard.

The countryside manor now reaps the benefits Fibrelite’s ‘fit and forget’, maintenance-free design with a trench access solution that will endure for years to come.
