Covers & Road Plates
Covering open trenches and excavations is critical to site safety, especially in areas where the general public has access. With the proper covering system, accidents can be avoided easily, increasing safety without any inconvenience.
A suitable road plate is the only option for areas of the road that need to remain in operation while works are being carried out. These road plates come in a variety of styles, with the most common types being traditional steel plates and more modern, lightweight composite systems.
Where excavations have been made on pavements and across driveways, lighter-duty walkways and driveway boards can be used to ensure pedestrians can go about their general business without fear of falling into an excavation for new utility services. Below, we have outlined some of the key types of trench and excavation covers from our range.
