Case History

Two substation installation jobs in Virginia and Tennessee were recently completed, immediately displaying the benefits of the new covers. In the course of six and a half days, a three-man crew used only twelve tons of UTILICOVER® panels to replace seventy tons of concrete covers! The project manager stated the UTILICOVER® covers were installed more quickly by hand than the concrete covers could be removed with an excavator.
