Pedestrian Rated Trench Features and Installation

Drawing from more than 49 years of research and experience, we have developed Fibercrete® , which is a proprietary blend of high strength concrete reinforced with special fibers and sometimes using steel reinforcement. Fibercrete makes possible the production of light weight, thin-walled, precast concrete parts. These cutting edge products can replace more massive units built from ordinary, steel-reinforced concrete.

Inside channel depths of 12”, 16”, and 24”.
PT Channel has twice the floor and wall thickness of our standard lightweight pedestrian rated channel.
Designed for pedestrian rated applications where there may be light duty vehicles driving close to the trench channels. New channel design prevents any flex in the sidewalls.
“PT” Pedestrian Rated Covers sit on top of channel.

Light Traffic Rated Trench Features and Installation

Vertical Side Walls- Allows for tighter fit against foundations.
No gaps between parallel trench runs.
Covers Sit Flush with Top of Channel.
Larger opening in floor for increased conduit/cable entry space.
Example: 8020LT channel would have a 16” x 32” opening.
4” Thick Channel Floor. – allows larger openings in the channel.
Increased sidewall thickness.
Top Steel Galvanized Rail or Non-Conductive FRP Rail - prevents any chipping on the top of channels from vehicles driving over them.
12”, 16”, or 24” Deep Channels

Heavy Traffic Rated Trench Features and Installation

Channel Types:
- HT - 6.5” thick covers. Channel Width 10”W – 50”W.
- HT3 - 3” thick covers. Channel Width 10”W – 40”W
- HT4 - 4” thick concrete covers. Channel Width 40”W.
Vertical Exterior Walls – Allows for tighter fit against foundations.
Larger Opening in Floor for increased conduit or cable entry space.
Ex. – 8024HT channel would have 10”x 20” opening.
12”, 16” or 24” Deep Channels (ID)
Top Steel Galvanized Rail or Non-Conductive FRP Rail.
H-40 Rated w/HTSG40 Steel Galvanized Cover or 6.5” Concrete Cover.
Both Channel Types have the same dimensions (OD & ID).
The only variance would be the size openings in floor of channel. Light Traffic channels would have a larger opening in floor.
Advantage - Transition channels no longer required between light traffic to heavy traffic channels of same size.
