Lightweight composite covers
14 December 2020
LIGHTWEIGHT COMPOSITE covers from Fibrelite are making drainage and sewerage access safer.
Accessibility is a pre-requisite for almost every drainage and sewerage application and the weight of conventional heavy steel access covers can make removal and replacement time-consuming and cumbersome.
Designed by Fibrelite, the new, lightweight alternatives have an unrivalled strength to weight ratio, and provide the same load-bearing performance as their conventional counterparts. In fact, due to the lightweight properties of composite material, Fibrelite GRP access covers are approximately one third of the weight.
GRP composite requires no maintenance and is resistant to corrosive materials – making it an ideal solution for many drainage and sewerage applications.
Furthermore, composite covers can be designed to fit almost any size, shape, aperture and load rating requirement – enabling effortless like-for-like replacement.
