The Coverblok Range is an innovative, environmentally friendly, and sustainable product. During the course of construction, the Coverblok prevents silt and total suspended solids (TSS) from entering the watercourse through inspection chambers and access chambers.
Firstly, Coverblok products can significantly lower the probability of a pollution incident occurring in the downstream watercourse. This is achieved by stopping up to 99% of silt and TSS from entering the surface-water drainage system via the inspection/access cover. Moreover, with proper maintenance, our Coverblok products are intended to endure over 50 years. Once removed, they are reusable on other sites.
Installing Coverblok is both simple and efficient. Utilising a 100% post-consumer recycled thermoplastic block (BLOK). It is intended for use with inspection/access covers that have clear holes of 600 x 600, 675 x 675, and 1350 x 675 millimetres. Firstly, the location plate, which supports the filter basket, is installed beneath the frame of the access cover. Which must be bedded in with concrete. Secondly, the cover and frame must be placed on the concrete bed. Positioning them so that the filter basket is in the centre and can be removed without difficulty. Additionally, you must regularly check the levels in the basket as once it reaches the optimal level, the filter needs to be cleaned and the basket must be cleared out.
By serving as a brake that decreases the particle velocity and drops them out of suspension. The filter eliminates particles from discharged water. On the first usage, the planks will remove around 95% of particles larger than 75 um, and as the product is used and silt builds up, the removal rate will typically increase up to 99.9%. Consequently, by investing in one of our Coverblok products, you can ensure that your project offers a sustainable pollution management solution on-site.
Furthermore, we also provide other product ranges that use the thermoplastic Blok, providing an eco-friendly alternative to your construction site. For instance, the Headwallblok and Gulliblok in this range, as well as the Siltblok silt management range.
