Vanstone’s Shallow Service Channels are used at minor road crossings where the excavating depth is limited. It is suitable to house cables and small pipes.
Covers can take low frequency heavy vehicle wheel loads. If vehicles travel at speeds exceeding 20km/h, the covers have to be bedded in to prevent rocking. It is not suitable for public roadways or continuous traffic.
