Fibrelite Specified for Rail Infrastructure Projects
Fibrelite Composites access? covers specified for rail infrastructure projects due to non-slip and anti-static properties.
Fibrelite developed a completely bespoke cover and frame for this complicated application. The main requirement was easy access for operators who regularly need to enter these feeder chambers that supply the overhead lines to power the Tram. The covers were designed as a large one piece cover to sit exactly over the electrical chambers. Due to the very public areas that will eventually be a station platform the covers needed to be non-slip and lockable.
Each cover has a tread pattern incorporated with anti-slip / skid properties and each cover had 4 locks moulded in for additional security. The panels are lifted regularly to ensure services are working efficiently. For operators working on the development, ease of access and safety are critical.
