Custom Steel Grate and Vent Cover
Project Overview
Custom steel grate and vent cover fabricated and set into a concrete base with a recessed frame, built as a durable utility cover for the property.
Analysis
The opening needed a load-bearing cover that sits flush and can be lifted for service, so the frame and grate were fabricated as a matched set with a recessed seat.
Process
Template the opening, fabricate the frame and grate, coat, set and shim level, then seal the perimeter.
Outcome
A flush, strong utility cover that blends into the concrete and can be removed for service.
