Steel Plates are an essential item for a safe site. Trench Pro only supply plates made from a suitable material and with an appropriate skid resistant surface where necessary. Their installation must not present a hazard to pedestrians, cyclists or motorcyclists.
The sides of any excavations must be suitably supported beneath the road plates and they must be rigidly secured to the road surface. Steel plates must be either sunk into the surface or suitable bitumastic material used to provide a ramp to the plate level. Where ramps are present, and there is a significant change in the road level, appropriate ramp warning signs should be in place.
