Tunnel Access Hatches - Edmonton London

Surespan designed and installed four revolutionary new hatches inside the Fore Street tunnel on the A406 North Circular Road in Edmonton, London.

The hatches are the first of their kind in the UK and have been specifically designed for Transport for London to not only withstand the weight of major volumes of traffic but also allow safe and easy access to the wells beneath.

They are currently being trialled in Fore Street tunnel for 12 months.

Made of aluminium, they are capable of withstanding D400 loading yet can be easily opened by one operative.
