Concrete Cable Covers

Anderton

Concrete cable covers and marker blocks are installed extensively by the utility industries providing cable protection and a warning to site personnel working or excavating in close proximity to underground pipes and electrical cables distributing electricity at LV (Low Voltage), MV (Medium Voltage) or HV (High Voltage).

Concrete cable protection covers act as a physical barrier against accidental damage to buried low and high voltage cables eliminating costly repairs and cable jointing – can also be used to locate and identify other underground services.

Concrete cable marker posts identify the exact location of underground utility services, including low (LV) and high (HV) voltage power cables – this includes 600/1000 volt, 6.6kV, 11kV, 33kV, 66kV and 132kV cable service identification.

Cable protection covers are reinforced precast concrete units manufactured and tested to BS 2484 specifications and are imprinted as standard with the indented lettering warning legend DANGER ELECTRICITY which are available in three different sizes and the internationally recognised Danger Sign.

Bespoke concrete cable covers can be manufactured – Contact Thorne & Derrick for more details.

Cable Covers & Marker Posts

Anderton Concrete range of cable covers and marker posts identify the exact location of buried utility services acting as a warning against accidental damage and help to reduce expensive search costs – indicating the local presence of fire hydrants, water and gas valves, electric cable junctions and field markers.

Protective cable covers are reinforced precast concrete units manufactured and tested to BS2484 specifications. The covers are imprinted, as standard, with the words ‘DANGER ELECTRICITY’ and are available in five sizes as detailed below. Concrete cable covers prevent accidental damage to underground cables and electrocution to utility workers.

Also Available | Concrete Protection & Marker Posts for Medium & High Voltage Cables (MV HV) : Marker Posts (M4 Type), Marker Posts (M2 Type), Duct Marker Blocks, Duct Marker Posts, Cable Covers, Block Type Markers.

Protecting High Voltage Cables & Utility Services

Utility services such as electric cables, gas and water pipes are essential national infrastructure – so too are access points to these utility cables, pipes and services lines. But access in itself is not enough, the services and their access points must be clearly marked with appropriate and durable marker posts or blocks. These utilities are often potentially dangerous, as with gas pipes or high voltage cables, or they have a potential for being easily damaged in a way that would involve costly repair works as with water lines, and those who are tasked with accessing these services for repairs and maintenance need to be fully aware of which services are under any given access point.

Technical Specification

Standard sizes of concrete cable covers are available as shown below (please refer to the above images). On request we can also supply a variety of wording options such as PROPANE LINE, GAS, OIL, FIBRE-OPTIC CABLE, WATER, TELEPHONE, etc.

Cable Covers

LV MV HV cable covers, Tapetiles and underground warning tapes are installed over LV, MV and HV power cables in trench and ducted cable installations with high visibility colour providing a visual warning of danger when excavating cables. 11kV and 33kV cable protection tapes (Tapetile tiles and Stokbord covers) are manufactured from heavy duty plastic for reliable protection of underground medium voltage (MV) and high voltage (HV) cables.

Stokbord cable covers are utility protection tiles approved and specified by international energy and electricity providers. Cable covers are highly visible and prevent damage to buried high voltage cables and other services including gas, water and telecoms.
