ROAD SAFETY

Trench Covers

ALLOW SAFE ACCESS and PASSAGE Around site excavations

TRENCH COVERS

Trench Cover Overview

The Trench cover is a highly versatile and safe trench cover, designed for covering apertures, bores or trenches during maintenance, construction and repair projects. The Trench covers allow safe access and passage over and around site excavations for pedestrian and light vehicular access. Installation is quick and simple by either fixing pins ideal for bitumen surfaces, or butyl adhesive developed for stone or concrete surfaces. Approved by most local authorities and utility companies, they are a highly cost-effective solution to site safety and access, and are fully compliant with Irish and European Legislation.
