Qantas services each week to the region.\u00a0 The Council was adamant that the airport remained open during the upgrade to ensure all air ambulance and emergency flights continued.\u00a0 This assurance applied considerable pressure on the contractors to ensure the project ran smoothly and on time.<\/p>\n<p>When selecting access covers for this project, not only did they have to be Class D and Class G load rated for the heavy traffic, but given the restraints on construction timing, the installer engaged Mascot Engineering to provide a solution to save them time on site.<\/p>\n<p>Our infill access covers pre-encased in an engineered precast concrete surround were selected for the Airport.\u00a0 By using a concrete encased cover from Mascot Engineering, \u00a0the contractor saved a huge amount of time installing\u2026 rather than needing to erect formwork, steel-fix the reinforcement and pour concrete, they simply placed the finished product over the pits with no additional work.<\/p>\n<p>We stock a complete range of concrete encased access covers in all popular load ratings and sizes, however with our flexible precast concrete manufacturing facility we can design,
