Custom Roof Hatches

In a recent job, Acudor was responsible for providing three oversized, custom hatches. Each hatch required a clear opening size of 96” x 96”, approximating an overall size of 117” x 117”. These custom hatches were fabricated for the Opequon Water Supply Water Treatment Plant, located in Stephenson, VA. The treatment plant was designed to help supply clean water to the residents of Frederick County.

These oversized hatches will serve as access points for heavy water filtration equipment to be craned in and out. Once the project has been completed, the facility will be responsible for giving access to nearly three billion gallons of high-quality water to the community it serves.

To ensure that these three over­sized hatch­es arrived in per­fect con­di­tion to the job­site, we mount­ed them on cus­tom wedge-shaped pal­lets, which would then fit in a tra­di­tion­al 40 ft. truck. This pal­let design would not only be stur­dy, but also offer easy maneu­ver­abil­i­ty while on a stan­dard fork­lift. Acudor’s team has been invest­ed in ensur­ing that all aspects of the hatch­es’ cre­ation, trans­porta­tion, and appli­ca­tion are seamless.
