The Centurion Access System has a number of advantages compared to the traditional method of creating access chambers. As a light-weight, plastic chamber it is quicker and easier to install than traditional chambers created using bricks and cement. This results in significant cost savings as no specialist labour is required to install the product. Our Centurion Access System consists of a number of components, designed to make your life easier. The fact that many of the components contain a high percentage of recycled material to make them more environmentally friendly is an added bonus.
We can provide both the solutions and the technical support you need to design and specify the Centurion Access System for your requirements.
Centurion Access Chambers Centurion Access Chambers are manufactured by rotational moulding with pre-trepaned knockout areas to accept 63mm or 110mm external diameter ducting. These knockout areas mean that no cutting-out is required on site, providing an easier and therefore more cost-effective method of installation. In addition to being light-weight, the chambers have a high impact resistance so they are less likely to require remedial work. Chambers are manufactured in three sizes, which can be mixed and matched to achieve the required height. Their robust vertical stacking facility and heavily ribbed section means the chambers won’t collapse or distort during back filling. The three sizes available are:
All Centurion Access Chambers are available with the following clear opening sizes:
Centurion Covers The Centurion Access System, multi-directional, anti-slip composite covers have been specifically designed to reduce the risk of accidents in wet or icy conditions. The raised pattern of nodules shed water, oils and chemicals from the surface without creating slip paths, reducing the possibility of contact slippage. Centurion Covers provide a skid resistance which surpasses the stated minimum advisory limits, recommended by the County Surveyors Society Working Party Data Collection Unit 1996.
Centurion Covers are available to suit all of the standard chamber sizes and are supplied with a standard lock facility to prevent unauthorised chamber entry. All include individual badging to identify services in the chamber beneath, i.e. Street Lighting, Traffic Signals, Access. Centurion Covers are tested in accordance with BS EN124 load classification B125 which means they are capable of withstanding loads up to 12.5 tonnes.
Centurion Frames The Centurion galvanised steel frames act as void formers for the chamber entrance, maintaining the clear opening size, whilst the wide flange (60mm) disperses the load into the concrete surround rather than on the chamber, making it less likely to fail. The frames provide height and tilt adjustment at surface level to accommodate gradients in pavement surface and different wearing courses. This allows a high degree of flexibility of the frame. Centurion frames are locked as standard and can be supplied with a coloured powder coating. Frames are available in the following formats:
Centurion Plus Access Systems The system has been developed as a no concrete surround and frameless quick build structure. It is light weight and complies with Health and Safety requirements for one man lift.
The chamber system is designed and tested to meet the requirements of BS EN 124 and can be used in traffic signal, street lighting and CCTV installations. Centurion Plus can also be considered for services such as telecoms and the water industry where larger chamber sizes are required.
The chamber sections are manufactured from Thermoset moulding compounds and are intended for use with the Centurion anti slip lids. Centurion plus requires no timber bracing and no waiting time for the concrete to gain its strength. The contractor can simply excavate the required pit area, drop in the sections, back fill and block pave or flag right up to the top of the chamber.
Centurion Pole Housing Unit The CPHU is manufactured from a mixture of Thermoset compounds and is supplied in three easily assembled parts. The unit is lightweight so conforms to current manual handling regulations, but is also very robust.
The product has a number of special design features and being non metallic it does not oxidise eliminating unsightly colour transfer on to any decorative surfaces. Its unique design reduces transport, storage, handling costs and the need to multi stock to cover the various traffic signal pole planting depths.
