Pit Protect Case Study

17 Mar 2022

•The customer was approached by the local Council, who were building a new depot, and required cover for their two inspection pits. They contacted Oxford Safety Components to help with the enquiry. 


•The New Concertina Pit Protect can be installed by the customer or Oxford Safety; on this occasion due to the close location, we went out to perform a site survey to evaluate how to best accommodate the client. 

•A quote for two pits, each measuring 13m, was requested. However, during the survey it was found that the two pits were joined at each end via access tunnels; meaning no support for the covers at either end. 

•As a solution, Oxford Safety Components suggested they use a chequer plate at each end, this not only helped the client to continue keeping staff safe, but also resulted in a reduced number of covers being needed, leaving the final measurements at 11m per pit, saving the client money.
