Fibrelite’s range of covers offers easy access for operators who regularly need to access these chambers that house communication cables and CCTV camera cables. Due to the nature of what is underground, the covers need to be easy access for operators who regularly check and monitor the equipment. For operators working at the roadside in all weathers and often at night, ease of access and safety are critical.

Fibrelite’s access covers are lightweight, durable and very strong. Every Fibrelite cover is manufactured using high technology Resin Transfer Moulded production methods to create a highly engineered, monolithic composite product.

The previously installed, heavy and damaged cast iron and concrete covers caused a health and safety issue and needed replacing. Fibrelite’s lightweight medium duty composite trench cover was identified as the solution. Designed as a ‘consistently dependable’ ‘fit and forget’ product, the maintenance free covers provide easy and safe access to the essential cabling.
