Lightweight composites

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Skipton-based Fibrelite has supplied D400 Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) composite trench covers for the construction of new trenches at a pharmaceutical plant in Cumbria.

 

 

The site, where extensive new construction work is redirecting pipework from overhead gantries to underground, is regularly trafficked by heavy goods vehicles, which is why D400 covers were important to the customer. 

 

 

The customer is also actively involved in health and safety and, according to Fibrelite, could see the potential of lightweight covers for easy and quick removal. Various sizes were manufactured to cater for the corners and smaller sections in order to achieve a perfect fit.
