The Sydney Airport Domestic Terminal P1 Temporary Car Park required a durable and reliable infrastructure solution to support heavy vehicular traffic while maintaining efficient cable management and easy access for maintenance. Given the high-volume nature of the location, a solution that balanced strength, longevity, and ease of installation was essential.

Mascot Engineering supplied Glass Reinforced Concrete (Mascot GRC) Cable Pits and Class D Access Covers to meet the project’s demanding requirements. These products were chosen for their ability to withstand the heavy loads associated with constant vehicle movement, while also offering a lightweight and corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional concrete.

Key Benefits of Mascot Engineering GRC Cable Pits & Class D Access Covers:

1. High Load Capacity & Durability:
   The Class D-rated (AS3996:2019) access covers ensure the installation can handle heavy loads, making them ideal for high-traffic areas such as airport car parks. Mascot’s GRC cable pits are designed to provide long-term structural integrity whilst offering the flexibility for pipe and conduit entries to be made in any number of locations and sizes.
2. Lightweight for Easy Installation:
   Mascot GRC cable pits are significantly lighter than traditional concrete, reducing installation time and labour costs. This was crucial for minimizing disruption for the Airport.
3. Corrosion Resistance:
   Unlike conventional concrete, Mascot GRC is highly resistant to corrosion from environmental exposure and vehicle fluids, ensuring a long lifespan.
4. Compliance & Safety:
   Mascot Engineering’s cable pits and covers comply with all relevant Australian Standards, ensuring a safe and reliable solution that meets industry requirements.

The installation of Mascot Engineering’s GRC Cable Pits and Class D Access Covers provided Sydney Airport with a high-performance, cost-effective, long-lasting and most importantly, a compliant solution. The combination of strength, durability, and ease of installation made Mascot Engineering the ideal choice for this critical infrastructure project.
