Foster Wilson Architects LLP recently project managed the refurbishment of a theatre where they were tasked with providing a discreet and practical method of housing multicore cables that ran from the stage to the control desk during music concerts. To accommodate the multicore cabling, two underground cable routes were cut into the floor. The cable routes needed to be covered with a lightweight, maintenance free cover that was readily removable by simple manual handling techniques, but also sufficiently strong enough to withstand imposed loads from mobile elevating working platforms (MEWP??s). Fibrelite supplied a bespoke encapsulating frame for both multicore cable routes along with a 1.5 tonne load rated trench cover to cover the cable trenches. The design was extremely challenging as not only did the cable trenches change in direction but they also changed in elevation. The Fibrelite cover incorporates an anti-slip material within the top treaded surface of the covers, which provides unparalleled anti-slip/skid properties for a composite cover.
