ACCTRIX® programme - designers aid for covering large holes

Maintenance (or access) holes and cable trunking runs are closed with access covers arranged in a multipart or trench run configuration. These enclosures are large reinforced concrete structures, sized according to the cable arrangement and may also be used to house equipment or cater for the co-existence of other services/utilities.

For ease of specification and pricing, the ACCTRIX® programme has been developed to enable engineers and contractors to design their own multipart or trench run system. The user will be given an option of 5 systems based on the enclosure’s size and load class requirements. These may vary in configuration and individual cover lifting weights, criteria driven by OH&S considerations. Finally, once a preference is made, a drawing is generated for specification purposes and for submission to ACO for quotation.

The website also provides useful information to assist specifiers to select the correct access cover solution for the project application so that potential problems, such as failures during service, are eliminated. A number of key factors are explored in detail. To further assist installers, an audio visual installation tutorial is also accessible.
