OPW, a Dover company and a global leader in fluid-handling solutions, is proud to introduce their all-new OPWlite GRP composite manhole covers and tank sumps, engineered to provide a cost-effective solution for typical petrol stations. The new OPWlite range is non-corrosive, maintenance-free and lightweight and all covers can be safely and quickly removed using OPW’s ergonomic lifting handle.
Conventional load-bearing access and manhole covers are heavy, liable to corrosion and difficult to install and remove. The question facing modern architects and developers is how to retain the accessibility and strength, but improve upon the practicality, durability and performance.
Electrical power generation facilities have large quantities of cabling running below the ground as a matter of course, which must be accessed regularly. Back in the 1960s when many of these facilities were built, heavy concrete and steel or cast-iron trench access covers were the only option available.
26-29th November 2018 | Dubai World Trade Centre | Stand 3A141 Fibrelite’s partner Servetech are exhibiting at this year’s Big 5 exhibition in Dubai 26-29th November where they will be exhibiting a broad selection of products including Fibrelite GRP composite trench and manhole covers.
This year, UK manufacturer Fibrelite has seen a growing trend of a wide range of facilities choosing to upgrade from the concrete recess access covers traditionally used in favour of bespoke composite alternatives.
Since 1960 the composites industry has grown 25X[1] as industry after industry adapt their light, strong hard wearing qualities to create higher performance products than previously possible. The US is leading the charge with the second largest market for composites globally (after China)[2].

Over the last two years, a staggering 4.5 million working days were lost to workplace injuries. A fifth of these were caused by manual handling . One common activity which contributes to this, posing a high risk of manual handling injuries is the removal and replacement of heavy concrete and metal manhole and trench covers.
