SVC’s Ready Replacement Covers are an innovative all-in-one system designed for the rapid, reliable replacement of broken or non-compliant access covers. They solve a critical problem for local councils and asset owners by minimising public risk, cost, and traffic disruption during maintenance.
The design of the Ready Replacement Cover incorporates a lightweight polymeric insert within a robust precast concrete surround. The lightweight insert is easy to handle for maintenance crews, featuring a locking mechanism and a hinged design that is also entirely removable.
The concrete surround of each Ready Replacement Cover contains a portion of blended cements and recycled waste products, helping to achieve various environmental benefits while ensuring the product is partially Australian-made (compared to competing products that are sourced from overseas).
Ready Replacement Covers are available for side entry applications where they feature a galvanised steel lintel at one long edge, providing extra reinforcement at the kerb face to resist damage from vehicular impact.
This innovative product allows for a clean ‘cut-and-drop’ installation into an existing pavement or grassed area, removing the need for complex formwork or concrete to be poured onsite. Ideal for footpath and roadway maintenance programs, these units ensure a safe, durable, and compliant repair that will outlast a traditional cover.
