We’re excited to announce that Eccles Products will officially launch its new elev8™ access cover and grating installation system at next week’s LCRIG Innovation & Learning Festival.
Designed for use with flowable and traditional bedding mortars, elev8™ delivers precision levelling to improve installation quality while reducing labour time.
Key benefits of elev8™ include:
- Adjustable frame height (15–49mm)
- Built-in indicators for correct bedding depth
- Durable Nylon 6 construction
- Simple push-fit installation across a wide range of Eccles covers and gratings
- Supports best-practice installation methods
By improving installation consistency, elev8™ helps extend asset service life, reduce maintenance requirements and minimise costly call-backs.
Commenting on the launch, Gary Postle, Sales Director at Eccles Products said:
“We’re excited to be launching elev8™ at the Festival. We recognise that local authorities are under increasing pressure to deliver high-quality infrastructure projects while maximising budgets, minimising disruption, and supporting long-term asset performance. The elev8™ Frame Levelling System presents a significant value creation opportunity by helping authorities achieve all three objectives.
“By enabling precise, efficient adjustment of access covers and frames without extensive excavation or replacement, elev8™ reduces labour requirements, shortens programme durations, and minimises traffic management costs. This translates into lower whole-life project costs and less disruption for road users and local communities.
“The system also supports sustainability goals by reducing material waste and extending the service life of existing assets. With faster installation times and improved quality outcomes, contractors can deliver more work within available budgets, helping local authorities address maintenance backlogs and improve network resilience.
“As local authorities continue to seek innovative solutions that deliver measurable savings and operational efficiencies, the elev8™ Frame Levelling System offers a practical, proven approach to creating lasting value across highway maintenance and infrastructure renewal programmes.”
