![]() Recessed CoversBT ApprovedOur range of BT approved block pavior covers and frames are particularly suited to town centre developments, where replacement of existing service covers is required to facilitate infill of blocks or stone to match the surrounding area. Individual lid sizes are reduced and incorporate a central lifting point and tapered cover side to provide a slide out feature which facilitates access by a single operative. ![]() Success stories Partnership with Thames WaterOne of our most successful partnerships is with Thames Water, which was experiencing problems with the lifespan of its manhole covers on some of London’s busiest and most demanding routes. With approximately 1.2 million manhole covers across 67,000km of sewers, Thames Water required a solution that is proven to last and easy to install – and that came in the form of our outstanding Unite manhole cover, putting an end to failing iron products, which results in road closures. We have now supplied more than 100,000 units to the company without one recorded failure over a 17-year period. Who we've worked withOver the years our solutions have been used by many of the UK's key utilities and telecoms companies. Working together we have developed tried and tested systems and products that have helped to alleviate many common problems that cause set backs, inconvenience and costs to be incurred. ![]() ![]() Creating a bespoke access cover for the LGBTQ+ communityWe worked in partnership with Thames Water to create a commemorative manhole cover dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community. The cover has been designed to symbolise and immortalise the organisations’ allegiance to the community and their commitment to increasing diversity on the streets of the UK. To bring the cover to fruition, we completed a unique manufacturing process to provide the water services company with four brand-new Unite D400 manhole covers, all sporting the bespoke design. ![]() Building sustainability into everything we doThere has never been a more critical time to be aware of our impact on the environment - and Wrekin and the wider civil engineering industry take its responsibilities extremely seriously. We are committed to working towards minimising the environmental impact of all our activities, from developing products that increase whole of life performance, to recycling and reducing waste and emissions wherever we can.
