PK-Huset

Upgrade of ground access covers for safe and sustainable access at PK-huset

At PK-huset in Stockholm, Elkington supplied new Sefac ground access covers as part of an upgrade and replacement of existing covers. The project involved replacing older ground covers with new, robust solutions designed for long-term performance, safe access, and high load capacity in a busy urban environment.

The property is centrally located, and technical solutions need to function reliably over time while integrating discreetly into the surrounding environment. Elkington’s delivery contributes to safer access to underlying technical spaces and a more sustainable solution for operation and maintenance.

Products in the project

For the project, Elkington supplied:

  • Sefac ground access covers – robust covers for safe access
  • Customised solutions for existing openings
  • Load-resistant covers for demanding urban environments

The client’s needs

The project involved upgrading existing ground access covers and replacing them with new solutions that better met the property’s requirements for functionality, safety, and long service life. In an environment such as PK-huset, it is important that ground access covers can withstand daily impact from pedestrian traffic, operation, and servicing without compromising safety. An important requirement in the project was that the covers needed to have a sufficiently shallow installation depth to fit the existing on-site conditions. This required a solution that combined a low build height with high load-bearing capacity and safe access.

Our solution

Elkington supplied Sefac ground access covers adapted to the project requirements and the existing openings at PK-huset. The Sefac covers were chosen because they met the need for a robust and reliable ground access cover with a shallow installation depth, making them well suited to the upgrade of the existing covers. The covers are designed to provide safe and reliable access to underground technical spaces, while withstanding the loads and stresses that occur in public and commercial environments. By replacing the older covers with new Sefac ground access covers, the property gained an upgraded solution with improved functionality, greater operational reliability, and a long service life. The products are designed to facilitate future servicing and maintenance, while also contributing to a safer environment for both maintenance personnel and people moving through the area.

The result

PK-huset now has upgraded ground access covers that provide safe access to technical spaces and improved conditions for long-term operation. The delivery demonstrates how replacing existing covers can create a more robust, functional, and sustainable solution in a demanding urban environment. The project is an example of how Elkington’s Sefac ground access covers can be used in the renovation and upgrade of existing properties where safety, load-bearing capacity, and operational reliability are essential.
