An unusual application for Howe Green access covers has recently been completed at Paddington Station.
Specified by Consultant Engineers Scott Wilson, a continuous run of curved covers has been installed on the platform to access the subfloor duct and services. Fabricated from stainless steel, the covers had to be specially designed and manufactured because of the configuration of the ducts, which needed to mirror the curve of the platform.
In addition, the covers were made to a special depth of 110mm, to ensure that they could house the anti-slip studded slabs and fit flush with the surface of the platform. Due to their public location, it was essential that the covers fitted perfectly flush so as to avoid being a potential slips and trips, and possible fatal, hazard.
Howe Green covers are made to order in single units, continuous ducts or multi-part configurations for use with any type of hard floor or floorcovering. They are hermetically double-sealed to meet the highest standards of hygiene and security. Covers are maintenance-free, resistant to corrosion and prevent the ingress of dirt, water and cleaning fluids. A choice of showedges in stainless steel, aluminium and pvc is available.
The Floor Access Specification Guide provides solutions for every underfloor access in every type of application floor.
