Can you replace an odd-size trench cover?
Yes. The opening, frame, bearing edges, elevation, handling method, and supplied load criteria must be verified before fabrication.
Do you determine the required load rating?
The owner, contractor, or design professional supplies the required loads and acceptance criteria unless engineering is explicitly included through the project team.
Can covers be removable or hinged?
Yes. Removable sections, hinges, handles, lift points, latches, and locking details can be included in the approved scope.
