22 WET NEWS JANUARY 2016 Replacing access covers made easier WHAT'S NEW HERE WHERE TO USE IT LET'S TALK SPECS HOW DO THEY RUN? • Fibrelite's range of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite access covers replace traditional heavy concrete infill covers • It is now possible to upgrade to modern composite materials simply and effectively without the costs and disruption associated with breaking concrete to replace with new frame • The range is designed to be installed into existing frames. • A UK sewage treatment works has been among the first beneficiaries of the FRP range • They are also ideal where underground infrastructure requires protection from external corrosive compounds such as salt • The range includes D400, E600 and F900 load ratings • An anti-slip finish is an additional safety benefit • The product is a third of the weight of an equivalent-size cover produced in metal or concrete • The composite design means the covers can be very easily removed using a simple ergonomically-safe lifting handle • The design approach means there is was no need to break out and replace the frame, reducing overall installation costs 1 2 3 4 what's new 1 HYDRO-ISOLATOR HYDRO INTERNATIONAL WWW.HYDRO-INT.COm The Hydro-Isolator is a completely watertight pollution containment valve from Hydro International. It can be closed remotely by means of bi-directional radio control or cloud-based communications systems. 2 PIPE fLOATS SLD PUmPS & POWER WWW.SLDPUmPSPOWER. CO.UK SLD Pumps and Power has sourced, tested and is stocking 4" and 12" pipe floats for application to pump hoses. Use of these will reduce pump wear as well as the risk of breakdown under heavy duty loading. 3 NIvUfLOW 600 NIvUS WWW.NIvUS.COm The NivuFlow 600 from Nivus was designed for flow metering in full pipelines. To meet the highest accuracy requirements, it is possible to equip the transmitter with up to 28 measurement paths. 4 AUTODAm HAm BAKER WWW.HAmBAKERgROUP. COm Ham Baker has launched Autodam, a simple but effective passive flood defence system that automatically rises when water levels increase. Quick and easy to install, it only requires shallow excavation.

As an innovative permanent plastic former system it is used to create an in-situ cast concrete attenuation and stormwater storage tank without the need for heavy lifting equipment • Elevator creates a high load bearing capacity structure that is suitable for use in landscaped and vehicular trafficked areas. The design of the system also removes the potential for silt build-up or blockage which could affect the long-term functionality of a stormwater storage system • The Elevator is manufactured from a lightweight recyclable plastic making it easy to handle and quick to install, eliminating the need for onsite heavy lifting equipment. The modular system allows any custom configuration to be quickly formed. • The open internal structure of the Stormwater Elevator offers completely free and easy access for the inspection and maintenance of the system. It also helps to improve site safety, a major consideration on modern construction sites. MORE...
