Concrete and steel trench covers deteriorate over time and require replacement to meet Health and Safety regulations

Photographs illustrate existing concrete and steel trench covers. They show signs of severe damage and weakened strength which may result in trip hazards, serious injuries or vehicles breaking through.

Why use Dura Slab Structural Flooring?

MAINTENANCE FREE

LOWER COSTS

Dura Slab can provide significant savings over the use of most other materials when taking into account ‘life cycle costs’. This is due to the fact that heavy installation equipment is eliminated, there is zero maintenance plus the fact that access can be provided for servicing simply by lifting the panels.

ANTI-SLIP

Dura Slab flooring features a gritted surface that provides outstanding anti-slip protection for personnel - in wet and oily environments. The grit is embedded in the top surface of each panel prior to curing. This combination of integral construction, plus depth of the embedded grit, creates a long- lasting maximum anti-slip top surface.

The use of Dura Slab virtually eliminates maintenance. This can drastically reduce costs since painting is not required, and UV inhibitors protect against degradation from the sun which means the material does not need replacing.

MECHANICAL STRENGTH

Breaking strength under a lateral force is exceptional. The uni-directional continuous fibreglass reinforcement offers numerous advantages, including rigidity, shock- resistance and no permanent deformation after overloading. These factors provide excellent mechanical strength and a generous factor of safety. Fibreglass is designed for maximum safety in intensive industrial use.

EASY INSTALLATION

Dura Slab panels weigh about one-quarter as much as steel grating. Two men can easily handle full panels, without the need for hoists, pulleys or dollies. If the panels need to be moved for cleaning, maintenance or utility access, there is less chance of back injuries. The lightweight design of the material therefore reduces installation costs.

LOW INSTALLATION COSTS

Fibreglass weighs considerably less than conventional materials, and is easier and less expensive to transport, install and remove. Only simple hand tools are required for installation and removal, eliminating the need for costly equipment and labour costs associated with heavy lifting, cutting and welding equipment.
