10 Minutes to Safety with Preferred Engineering’s Cavity Floor Covers

When you are performing nuclear power plant maintenance, every minute counts. The ultimate goal is to increase the safety of your personnel by reducing exposure time, while still ensuring your part is 100% up to task.
Outdated sealing methods can severely hamper progress during an outage. For example, OEM hatch covers often require cumbersome Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV), adding hours to critical tasks and exposing workers to unnecessary risks.
Preferred Engineering’s Cavity Floor Covers are a game changer when it comes to replacing OEM hatch covers. The total actuation time of the Cavity Cover Floor Plug is less than 10 minutes per plug. This is a phenomenal time reduction.
The biggest time savings comes from easy actuating toggle bolts and the elimination of RTV use to create the leak-tight seal – that means no application or cure time and no cleanup is necessary. In fact, the seal can be tested on the spot so that any adjustments if needed can be made immediately. This ensures not only safety but also compliance with strict industry standards, all without requiring modifications to your existing setup.
The lightweight, aluminum design allows the cover to be manually carried and installed, while the fast-action toggle bolts make installation a breeze. PE’s floor covers incorporate a dual-seal system that provides a reliable, repeatable leak-tight seal.
