Keep Out The Grass - Warning To Water
Companies
Strataform's access hatches are designed with perimeter seals to give a clean moat condition, "pop'' out vents for emergency draw down situations and secondary internal covers.
In the build up to AMP4, water companies who specify access covers without a perimeter seal, correctly designed high internal moated lip and the appropriately placed ventilation are in danger of discovering that in time, foreign fluids and objects have entered their potable water reservoirs According to Strataform, one of the original companies to achieve LPS 1175 Security Rating 4 approval for an access cover with the Loss Prevention Certification Board, the incursion of insects, grass, dust and rubbish have become an increasingly unwelcome water quality issue for those with susceptible covers

Strataform has unveiled a new range of high level product systems, which give the best possible protection available today against the threat of terrorist and criminal attack.
A spokesperson for the Kidderminster-based business, which has unrivalled experience in access cover design and development, said: "The influx of contaminants is now forcing some water companies to ward off the threat by introducing a cleaning regime.
But not only is this laborious as well as costly, it isn't infallible, because by the time a contamination problem is discovered, it will usually be too late".
Strataform's access hatches are designed with special features, such as perimeter seals to give a clean moat condition, "pop'' out vents for emergency draw down situations and secondary internal covers to prevent contaminants being poured directly into the water.
The moat's discreet drainage also allows any introduced fluids to drain safely away from the water supply.
