Fibrelite supplies D400 trench covers for pharmaceutical plant

Fibrelite supplies D400 trench covers for pharmaceutical plant
Fibrelite were specified for extensive new construction work that was to redirect pipework from overhead gantries to underground.

The pharmaceutical plant in Cumbria is regularly trafficked by heavy goods vehicles, which is why D400 covers were critical to the customer.

Also, the company are actively involved in health and safety and could see the huge potential of lightweight covers for easy and quick removal. Various sizes were manufactured to cater for the corners and smaller sections so a perfect fit was achieved.

The construction involved pre-cast concrete trenches with a concrete rebate for the covers to be housed into. Extremely strong and easy to maintain with no maintenance issues was of great benefit to the customer.

During the installation, the Fibrelite technical team worked closely with the engineers and contractors from the design stage of the panels to delivery ensuring that the product was of the highest specification and the products where installed within the required project timeframes.

Fibrelite is the world leading manufacturer of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) composite manhole covers and trench covers. This sophisticated and highly specialised material is fast becoming recognised as the more effective modern alternative to traditional materials such as heavy steel and concrete.

Benefits over the more traditional, technologically inferior metal covers:
  • Lightweight for easy and safe manual removal
  • Load ratings from A15 to F900 (BS EN 124)
  • Chemically inert and corrosion resistant.
With plants located in the United Kingdom, United States and Malaysia, Fibrelite products are tried and trusted in over 80 countries around the world.
