A drainage
and access cover manufacturer is making
inroads to the transport infrastructure market after completing deals on
several high profile rail projects.
Fabweld
Steel Products has supplied its flagship FAB PAVE covers to schemes in
the Midlands and London that will provide improved travel links for travellers.
The covers
give access to below ground services such as drainage or power networks whilst
blending the floor’s paving to provide a seamless surface. They are typically
used in areas that demand a prestige finish.
More than
100 were supplied for the new Worcester Parkway terminal, which is due to
run its first trains later this month. The development includes three 265
metre long platforms, a main station building, a pedestrian footbridge and
surrounding landscaping. The covers are located across the site and were
supplied via sub contractor Pronin Ltd.
FSP
delivered 24 FAB PAVE sealed and lockable access covers for the £17.8m
redevelopment of the White Hart Lane overground station in north London to the
Joseph Gallagher Group. The project includes a new station building with ticket
hall and entrance and step-free access from street to platform.
The
station is just a short walk from the newly opened £850m Tottenham Hotspur
football ground and event venue, which features more than 80 stainless steel
FAB PAVE access covers.
FAB PAVE
covers were also supplied to Colas Rail for landscaping around extensions to
the Midlands Metro network in Wolverhampton and Birmingham city centres.
Managing
Director Richard Hilton said: “Our FAB PAVE covers were required for areas that
will experience very high footfall so contractors needed an access solution
that was not only effective but would also be extremely durable and able to
blend into the landscape.
“Because of our
in-house design abilities and flexible production schedules we were able to
meet the demands of these infrastructure schemes that often have fast paced
timetables.
“These are
just another few locations that we can add to the ever growing list
of places where you will find a FAB PAVE cover. It ranges from Trafalgar Square
to the location of the Cannes Festival Film and many, many more places in
between!”
