Working Platform with hinged access panel Landing Platforms

Our working platform with Hinged Access Panel is a robust, fully customisable solution for safe access and maintenance in adoptable sewer and drainage chambers. Designed to meet and exceed the requirements of Water UK’s Design and Construction Guidance (DCG v2.3), our platform provides a compliant, cost-effective alternative to traditional concrete benching and other manhole platform systems.

Key benefits include:

Enables non-man access maintenance (rodding, jetting, CCTV) from cover level, reducing confined space entry.
Anti-slip, durable surface for maximum safety.
Rapid installation and reduced site work.
Manufactured in the UK to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and BS EN 1090:2018 EXC1 standards.
