The Fibrelite trench panels are said to be for access to sewage systems, underground pipework, drainage networks, electrical junction boxes, water treatment plants and commercial fuel storage.

Fibrelite lighweight, corrosion resistant composite covers are manufactured in a resin transfer moulding process (RTM). Fibrelite has adapted its existing manufacturing process to utilise recycled glass fibres, enabling it to produce its most cost-effective trench panel to date.

Fibrelite’s covers have zero re-sale value in the scrap market. The increase in metal costs has stimulated the theft of metal manhole, trench and gully covers.

Fibrelite covers have a minimum guaranteed lifespan of 15 maintenance free years.
