Problem
The thin plastic decking was unsuitable for its intended use:
- Substandard material – lack of durability
- Covers had become warped and bent as a result of rainwater saturation
- Major health and safety hazard – entire trench area cordoned off, covers considered unsafe for pedestrians
- Lifting from the knees – unnecessary strain placed on the lower back due to the design of the covers
Solution
Fibrelite provided a bespoke covering solution for the client to meet their onsite requirements with no major upheaval to existing onsite facilities:
- 36mm deep Fibrelite A15 load rated trench covers and frame section
- Equipment was designed, manufactured & delivered to site in just over a month after the order was placed
- Blue coloured covers supplied as requested by the customer – Fibrelite covers can be manufactured in a range of different colours to suit customer requirements
Results
Installation was completed in accordance with the client’s construction programme, Fibrelite assisted with the process to ensure a smooth transition.
- The trench area can now be used by pedestrians safely without risk of failure and injury
- High strength to weight ratio
- Fibrelite’s lightweight covers can be easily removed and replaced by two-people using the ergonomically designed FL7 lifting handles
