Upstand access covers are fitted on top of the finished structure and stand proud of the finished structure. Upstand covers provide a fully waterproof access point.
Cubis’ range of steel fabricated access covers are designed to suit each installation. Requirements such as size of opening, valve equipment and expected rate of zinc corrosion are considered before a final design is produced for approval.
Along with other options and accessories to improve performance, these access covers can be equipped with security features to help prevent unwanted access.
Upstand access covers are not accredited to LPCB security standards but are suitable for areas that are not rated as high-risk. For LPCB rated access covers, please see Citadel.
Hinged CoversCovers are hinged and the opening aided by steel springs. Each cover is manufactured so that the cover will rise slowly or with minimal effort.
Cover lifting can also be assisted with gas struts.
Fall protectionCubis has designed a number of fall-protection options including:
Safety grids can be fitted with a failsafe lock back catch.
Safety StaysCovers are optimised for safety during use with a safety stay that prevents the cover leaf from slamming shut when in use.
Long-lifeCovers are hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461. For increased longevity and aggressive environments a superior galvanising finish can be used to give a 100 (min) or 140 (min) micron zinc coating. Please refer to the Galvanizers Association's Zinc Corrosion Map to ascertain whether a higher level of galvanising is required.
Powder CoatingAccess covers can be powder-coated for aesthetic purposes.
