Fiberglass Trench Covers

When it comes to construction sites, open trenches are a serious safety hazard. Unfortunately, traditional covers warp, crack, and rot, putting projects and workers at risk. Painted Rhino’s fiberglass trench covers offer a superior solution that’s safer, lighter, more durable, and more cost-efficient. It’s time to choose a fiberglass trench cover that works as hard as you do.

What Are Fiberglass Trench Covers?

Fiberglass trench covers are lightweight yet sturdy panels that cover open trenches used to house essential utilities like electrical wiring, plumbing, and drainage systems.

Trench covers not only prevent falls and injuries but also protect equipment from debris, weather exposure, and equipment damage. The trouble is traditional covers made from wood, concrete, and steel are not only inefficient but pose serious safety hazards.

Wood rots. Concrete is heavy and prone to cracking. Steel is expensive to manufacture and warps, rusts, and corrodes. Our fiberglass trench covers are a superior alternative that:

  • Improve job site safety
  • Resist corrosion, rot, and weather damage
  • Support heavy loads
  • Require minimal effort to install and remove
  • Are more cost-efficient to manufacture

Key Features of Fiberglass Trench Covers

The construction industry is increasingly turning to fiberglass trench covers due to their exceptional performance and durability. Here’s what sets them apart:

Strength

Fiberglass trench covers maintain flexibility without compromising strength. This allows them to absorb impact without cracking, making them ideal for high-traffic areas and heavy-duty applications. With a high strength-to-weight ratio, fiberglass trench covers are quickly becoming the industry standard.

Lightweight Design

Lightweight trench covers are just as easy to transport as they are to install. Reduced weight means fewer labor requirements and reduced risk of injury compared to concrete and steel alternatives.

Fire-Resistant

Fiberglass trench covers are engineered with fire-retardant properties, allowing them to withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of flames. This makes them an ideal choice for industrial applications where fire safety is a concern.

Corrosion-Resistant

Unlike traditional materials like wood, concrete, and steel, fiberglass trench covers are corrosion-resistant. They won’t rot, crack, or warp and are well-suited for extreme environments where chemicals, UV rays, and extreme temperatures are a concern.

Common Fiberglass Trench Cover Applications

Fiberglass trench covers are becoming the preferred solution across multiple industries. Here’s where they excel:

Industrial Settings

Our trench covers see extensive use in manufacturing facilities. In addition to protecting electrical wiring, pipes, and plumbing, they allow for easy maintenance access. When you need to maintain safety in a high-impact environment, our fiberglass covers provide superior protection against heavy equipment, chemical exposure, and constant foot traffic.

Public Infrastructure

Municipal water and sewage systems demand reliable solutions that can withstand constant exposure to extreme elements. Our fiberglass trench covers meet public infrastructure requirements while reducing replacement costs.

Underground Utilities

Fiberglass trench covers also protect the essential infrastructure that keeps our cities running. Underground electrical and telecommunication lines, gas pipes, and fiber optic networks require regular maintenance and security. Our fiberglass trench covers protect sensitive infrastructure while minimizing disruption.

Transit Systems

Transit systems need trench covers that can withstand heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Fiberglass trench covers are ideal for subway stations, light rail systems, and bus terminals—environments that demand exceptional performance and durability.
