As thin as your thumb. Tough as concrete.
Injection-moulded HDPE puts a tough physical barrier above the buried asset.
A buried pipe needs protection from the next dig. It also needs a way back in when maintenance is due. Choose Overpipe® plate where buried gas, power or communications assets need a physical barrier against excavation damage. Its 15 mm injection-moulded HDPE construction provides an alternative to concrete protection slabs. Crews can position the plates by hand, join them along the trench and lift them out for later inspection. Protection goes in. Access stays possible.
