Wastewater and Fluid Processing

Wastewater facilities and other fluid-processing environments need reliable covered access over pits and channels. Hennig customizes safety pit covers to better protect personnel, support compliant access, and hold up in difficult environments.

Why choose Hennig for your pit cover safety?

Consultative Support for complex cover

EPCs and facility teams work with Hennig to spec the ideal pit cover systems for their operations. We ask the right questions early to help define the controls and safety measures for the application. From initial design through installation guidance, we help you reduce guesswork, avoid control issues, and ensure long-term performance. 

The Challenge

Ensuring safety, access and longevity

Pit covers need to protect against falls while allowing ready access for equipment maintenance. On top of that, their controls and sensors need to hold up for years in wet conditions. When the system is poorly matched to the application, it causes downtime and added maintenance for teams that simply want the cover to work when needed.
Our Solutions

Customizable pit covers built for your needs

Hennig defines the cover construction, actuation method, and control approach based on your safety and service requirements. A simple control setup may be the right fit, or a more robust sensor and controls package could be right for long-term, low-maintenance performance.

Available options include: 

  • Protective Canister: Protective canister housings can be provided to add protection to the roll-up covers gearing, spindle, and wound-up cover areas.  

  • Walk-On Material: We offer stainless steel and aluminum covers. Because we choose the material based on the environment it operates in, our walk-on covers are always optimized specifically for your application. 

  • Non-Slip Surface: A non-slip surface (anti-skid tape or paint) is added so that personnel may walk across the cover’s surface with greater safety than walking across slippery stainless steel or aluminum surface.  

  • Actuation: Our walk-on covers are actuated one of four ways — air motor (regulates tension on the cover), electric motor, high-tension spring, no motor/passive (actuated by existing component on the machine)
