Problem/Challenge

The inlet works is a large irregular shaped structure which required concealment for the containment of odourous gases. It further required machinery, instrument, inspection and manway access hatches.

Solution

Considering that GRP provides a non-corrosive, solid, cost effective, and anti-slip solution that can be easily installed, GRP was deemed to be the most suitable material for the application. Relinea were appointed by Ovivo to sub-contract the equipment.

The client required the inlet works to be covered using GRP covered grating. We installed GRP support beams over the trenches on the inlet works, and then after installed the RE-DECK covered grating. The inlet works had been stepped and, as a result we were able to incorporate highly visible step edging for worker safety into the installation. Finally, the access covers had to be installed with fall arrest and pneumatic rams, and lockable handles.
