Concrete or Plastic Cable Protection?

Its Time To Step Out Of The Stone Age

Once upon a time, utility contractors had no choice but to use concrete cable covers for protecting underground cable systems.

Today, traditional concrete cable protection has been virtually replaced in the modern era by Centriforce Stokbord cable protection manufactured from recycled plastic.

Centriforce Stokbord cable covers provide heavy duty, high impact, underground cable protection for fibre optic, low voltage, high voltage (11kV, 22kV, 33kV, 66kV) and extra high voltage (132kV-400kV) power cable networks.

Stokbord cable covers are a heavy underground cable protection manufactured from high impact recycled polyethylene sheet and designed to withstand damage from plant and hand tools.

Stokbord cable covers come as standard with a red background with yellow top tape containing the warning legend " Caution Electric Cable Below ".
