Site Survey / Design Brief
Independent hinged access points with twin hinged safety grids were required to
facilitate easy and safe pump removal and inspection.
The 3.8m x 1.5m
unit required Hiab delivery to allow fast and effortless offloading and
installation.
Pump
specifications and positions were obtained ensuring the opening point of the
grids did not foul the pumps when lifted.
The covers were
to act as a working platform for the pumps, thus design calculations were
required to prevent cover distortion

-
Recessed padlock facility maintaining security to assets and reducing trip
hazards

being poured
