If your council is like most, broken pit lids are a constant hassle that are chewing through your budget and wasting resources.
All too often we hear horror stories about growing numbers of concrete pit lids breaking and needing replacement. What a waste of money and time!
Concrete pit lids regularly break because of incidental traffic mounting kerbs. It could be a garbage truck, a bus or a delivery vehicle – it only has to happen once. The most problematic areas occur at roundabouts, near traffic calming devices, in industrial estates and in new residential developments with ongoing building activity.
A growing number of councils are improving their maintenance budgets and safety records by switching to Terra Firma Pit Lids. Terra Firma Pit Lids are a strong, Australian made, fibreglass composite cover that can handle the impact of a 90 tonne truck. They are also incredibly light and can be easily lifted by a single worker.
A typical concrete cover for a stormwater pit weighs around 120 kilograms and presents a real manual handling hazard. Terra Firma Pit Lids have been specifically designed for ease of manual handling and weigh less than 25 kilograms.
The benefits of Terra Firma Pit Lids have been proven many times over. The product is now specified with many progressive local councils for all new subdivisions and pit replacement programs.
What could be a quicker and easier way to save money and time than removing needless risk and expense from your budget?
So, why waste money and resources or place your staff and operations at risk when you could be achieving so much more? Make no mistake – you need a long term solution to this problem.
