What our Clients are saying
Austral have been able to provide custom size covers to suit our specific needs, and the covers have increased our safety for staff when working at or around heights. The covers are in use at our major sewer pump station sites and enable operators and engineers to safely access and work around the wet well, and have been a major improvement from our previous covers.
The quality of the covers is very high and they have maintained finishes and paint in outdoor environments.
I would not hesitate to say that covers supplied by Austral were up to our expectations & standards defined by the project & SA water specification.
We would also appreciate the level of service provided by Austral, the timely manner in which we received the materials.
We are very happy with the Austral pit lid; it has reduced manual handling issues completely and also fall from height issues.
All in all a great investment and hope to have more installed in the future.
Over the last two years, we have installed 10 [Austral] lids. We have deliberately installed these lids where pump stations are within close proximity to high pedestrian traffic areas…where our staff have reported a potential safety hazard and where odour and aesthetics could be an issue.
With the replacement of current lids with the Austral product, we now have a greater defence of fall prevention for those workers above ground and in-built safety grates in the lid that is lightweight and ergonomically friendly for our field staff to use.
