TRENCH COVER
For all of the most popular supply channels
With our Trench Cover made from hanit recycled plastic, we have designed a product which provides a practical and reliable solution for covering cable trenches, shafts or construction and workshop pits, because hanit is weatherproof and extremely resistant to any environmental influences. There is no risk of rotting, which is a problem with wood covers. In comparison to concrete covers, the light weight of our recycled plastic is a benefit because hanit Trench Covers are only one third of the weight of conventional covers. Not only does this save a considerable amount of money on shipping, but also during installation, which can be carried out very easily by hand without the need for large machinery. The robust secondary plastic also has several other advantages which are important for demanding industrial use.
Made to last and maintenance-free
Even after years of outdoor use, hanit remains unbreakable, dimensionally stable, and withstands a high degree of mechanical and chemical stress from oils, acids or alkalis without problems. A long period of reliable use without costly repairs and maintenance is guaranteed with Trench Covers. They are used in substations, industrial systems, and railway systems, for example, where high demands are placed on the materials used and on occupational safety. Unlike concrete covers there is no fear of corrosion, meaning that there is no risk of collapsing, even after long periods of use, giving the lines and cables reliable protection. Our hanit Trench Covers have also proven themselves many times over as partitions, whether it is for heavy-duty applications or storing valuable steel parts, because hanit provides permanent protection against expensive rust damage. Our Trench Covers are also an ideal solution for planking and as stair treads or for path construction – not least because of their ease of processing and assembly.
Our hanit material can be flexibly processed like wood, so that even complex trapezoidal, curved or corner designs can be achieved with our Trench Covers with ease. In order to guarantee optimum performance for every project and every usage area, we can provide numerous designs and special construction. For example, our Trench Covers are available with optional reinforcement as a version that can be walked on or driven over.

REFERENCE PROJECT
S C Civils and Maintenance Ltd | Didcot Power Station | Didcot, Oxfordshire, Great Britain
Didcot power station is a gas power station operated by RWE in the south of England, where Trench Covers have been in reliable use for many years. The project that we would like to present to you was implemented in 2014.
New cabling was to be laid in the above-mentioned power station. With this in mind, our customer, S C Civils and Maintenance Ltd, was looking for a reliable and durable solution for trench covering. Previously, only concrete covers had been used in the Didcot power plant. However, these repeatedly resulted in high maintenance and repair costs, and could not satisfactorily fulfil the high safety requirements because cold cracks formed, for example. S C Civils and Maintenance Ltd also saw room for improvement with regard to installation, since concrete covers are very difficult to adjust and install because of the heavy weight. More flexibility and easier handling were wanted here, since the cable trenches in the power plant are very complex, and cutting the panels to size on site was unavoidable.
During the search for a suitable alternative, S C Civils and Maintenance Ltd found out about Trench Covers made from hanit recycled plastic, which promised to be the perfect solution for its problems in the past, thanks to its special material properties. It was particularly the durability and resistance to external influences as well as the flexible and easy installation which motivated the customer to place the order with HAHN Plastics and rely on hanit for covering the cables.
S C Civils and Maintenance Ltd is pleased with their decision, since the project was successfully completed within just four weeks and to their complete satisfaction. All of the challenges during assembly such as curved trenches were dealt with without problems, and the financial advantages due to the reduced amount of maintenance are guaranteed to this day.
