The HIAC hatch, measuring 1000 x 3500 mm with an 80mm depth, is equipped with hydraulic cylinders and a hand pump, facilitating ease of operation. It is engineered to withstand a 65kN slow-moving wheel load, aligning with FACTA Class C standards. The operation of this hatch is enhanced by an electrically driven single power pack, complemented by a hydraulic mini-pack which can be situated either remotely or locally, ensuring flexibility in installation. Control is simplified through an electrical panel, with the inclusion of a remote control for operational efficiency.
Safety remains paramount, as evidenced by the installation of a retractable safety grid on three open sides, providing security while maintaining manual operability.
The Queens Square redevelopment featured an impressive 50-jet fountain, a collaborative effort between Fountains Direct and Blakedown Landscapes, under the visionary design of Landscape Architects Burns & Nice. Surespan’s HIAC Recessed Floor Hatches are strategically positioned above the maintenance rooms, offering essential access for the upkeep of this water feature.
Through innovative design and engineering, Surespan continues to support projects that enrich community spaces, fostering environments where people can connect and engage with their surroundings.
