A stop to the problem with corrosive steel covers

Corrosion-resistant glass fibre composite covers The originally installed steel covers are rather worn out and damaged from the corrosive properties of the methane gas. Glass fibre composite covers are corrosion-resistant by virtue of the glass fibre composite structure. Moreover, they are sluggish in reaction to chemically aggressive gases. Glass fibre composite covers are therefore a very good alternative to alternative covers...

Tide water protection programme by means of anti-slip series connected covers

Planar glass fibre composite covers to cover an "open" rain retention reservoir in a residential area Easy access for the operator Within the scope of a tide water protection measure, the primary requirement was to guarantee the operator complete and easy accessibility of the rain retention reservoir so it can also regularly check, e.g. the level of the precipitation water in...

Glass fibre composite covers for industrial sewage treatment plants in the Antarctic

Light-weight glass fibre composite, series connected covers on a special sewage treatment plant in the Antarctic A special system of a sewage treatment plant in the Antarctic is to be provided with light-weight covers for good accessibility. GPR composite covers were selected based on their versatile possibilities for use. The accumulating black water and grey water is treated in the cleaning process...

Glass fibre composite panels in RAL colour in a large power plant

Pit covers in RAL colour The customer had the decisive requirement that the pit covers had to be matched to the adjacent underground. The glass fibre composite covers can be designed in a variety of colours. The pigments for the colouring are admixed to the granulate during production to ensure that the colouration is not only surface-bound but also consistent in...

Light-weight, load resistant and non-corrosive

Conventional pit covers made of the concrete and cast iron material combinations (BEGU) as well as reinforced concrete have been used successfully for decades in underground construction, industrial and cable duct construction. They offer a long lifetime and a good price-performance relation. However, these conventional covers – especially those of the older generations – often leave a user friendly application...

Replacement of covers at a transformer station

Planar covers of fibre composite material for an existing cable pit There was a pre-existing structural slab on the site with reinforced concrete cover embedded in concrete. Due to the local conditions, the structural slab could no longer be replaced by a lighter cover. Because of their unit weight of about 200 kg, it was not possible to lift out the...

We rely and trust on glass fibre composite material

Custom solutions with smart material Glass fibre reinforced plastics or glass fibre composites are materials for versatile uses. Besides the high strength, the material convinces foremost for its excellent resistance to environmental effects and loads. Its use means uniting function and design. Covers that integrate harmonically in the paved area were chosen for the entries and exits of delivery traffic. The...

Bridge restoration

Fibrelite pit covers of GRP composite material class B125, surface-watertight, clear width 760 x 760 mm and clear width 1400 x 700 mm The civil engineering office invited tenders for stainless steel pit covers for this site. We submitted an optional tender for our GPR composite covers with aluminium frame. Based on the equivalency and the non-corrosive, surface-watertightness, odour-tightness, easy handling,...

Safety due to anti-slip properties

Besides their many benefits – like the convenient handling and non-corrosive properties – the decisive product advantages of modern glass fibre composite plastic pit covers include foremost the tested anti-slip properties according to DIN 51130 and DIN 51097. Especially on openings to underground pit and sewer structures, the smart solutions of Fibrelite make a compelling case as an effective alternative...
