ACCESS COVERS SOLVE PROBLEMS

Specialist knowledge has solved the problem of combining floor safety with floor access during recent refurbishment at the University of Southampton. In the Hydrology Department, access to underfloor waterways was required at the foot of stairs in a very tight and busy area which also serves as a fire exit. The problem was how to maintain safety underfoot with easy access to underfloor services. The solution was to install Howe Green purpose made floor access covers in a special configuration which will open up a large area of floor. The covers are designed to be completely flush with the floor to eliminate any risk of tripping. At the same time, their robustness will resist the heavy pounding of feet. The covers are tamper-resistant yet can be easily opened using a special tool. Because they meet such strict design and performance requirements, Howe Green access covers are the preferred specification solution for all types of building, including heavy traffic areas such as shopping centres and supermarkets and wet areas such as changing rooms and swimming pool surrounds.
