Stokbord Drum
Stokbord Drum delivers heavy-duty utility cable protection in a single material strip, allowing operatives to install MV HV cable protection directly into the trench without needing to set foot into it. Centriforce wind their protection material directly onto an industrial reel which allows users to unroll the material into application, providing significant health and safety benefits alongside major time and cost savings.
- Ease and speed of installation – up to 30x faster to install than traditional plastic Stokbord cable covers
- Significant reduction in manual handling costs on site
- Supports Health & Safety on-site
- Removes the need for workers to set foot in the cable trench
- Reduced risk of injury and accidents in cable trenches
A Cost-Effective Solution for Plastic Cable Cover Protection
Stokbord Cable Covers offer a variety of benefits which are not available with traditional concrete underground utility and cable protection solutions. One of the most obvious benefits are the cost saving, with Stokbord Cable Covers helping to reduce both transportation and handling costs in comparison to concrete cable protection solutions. It is also far more visible when applied thanks to the bright colours that it our plastic cable cover available in.
Stokbord Cable Covers are supplied in the form of individual cable protection tiles which are designed to be easy to install for operators. This not only reduces the time required to apply the necessary levels of underground cable protection cover at the start of each project but also improves safety levels by during the time spent by workers in potentially hazardous trenches on-site.
These benefits are available without compromising on strength, with Stokbord Cable Cover undergoing significant impact testing to prove its practicality. Centriforce offers variations manufactured to conform to specifications laid out by the UK Distribution Network Operators (DNO’s) and the National Grid.
