Dura lends help to National Grid trench cover supply chain partners

Working closely with key specifiers and main contractors the guide is designed to allow the selection of the most efficient composite product for a project, and also to determine the design and fixings central to a successful installation.

The wide range of Dura Slab lightweight GRP trench covers from 18mm to 100mm thickness are simple to install and have an enormous strength to weight capacity. Various products in the range are also uniquely designed to be non-rocking and non-floating which are key parts of the National Grid specification criteria.

The guide is available free of charge to spread the knowledge as widely as possible and provide the best trench cover solutions that this industry has ever seen.

By obtaining this guide readers will learn the following: 

• How to choose the right solid trench covers.
• How to avoid 'rocking panels'.
• How to avoid the risk of floating panels.
• How to specify fixing systems that still allow simple access.
• How to deal with T-junctions, curved trenches and more
• How to check conformance with BS EN124 or FACTA specs.
• How to meet National Grid Specifications Design Handbook 10 Issue 4, TS 3.10.02.
