Features & Benefits

Variable Sizes

Citadel access chambers are available in a range of bespoke sizes, developed to meet specific client needs and to provide the best solution for a project.

Bespoke Identity

Covers can be badged with bespoke information to enable easy identification by operatives.

Access Cover For Safety

When it comes to keeping infrastructures safe, Citadel access covers are a perfect solution. Covers are prevented from slamming shut by the presence of a safety arm with manual pull override. Access covers can also be specified with hinged fall protection safety grids.

Long Lifespan

Cubis access covers have long lifespans, reducing costs for replacements by the end user. Citadel covers are hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461. For increased longevity and aggressive environments a superior galvanising finish can be used to give a 100 (min) or 140 (min) micron zinc coating.

SAFE TO LIFT

Opening of cover leaves is aided by a torsion spring and a lifting handle. Covers are fitted with removable bolt-off lifting plates that allow for the cover to be moved safely and easily.

High Security

Citadel is rated to Level 4 of LPS 1175, suitable for protecting Critical National Infrastructure sites. Cover security can be enhanced with a double-skin cover for additional protection during attack.
