In building modern, inclusive cities, schools, and healthcare environments, accessible infrastructure is no longer optional—it’s essential. While often overlooked, trench covers play a vital role in the effectiveness of barrier-free environments.

Whether it’s a wheelchair’s smooth passage, the safety of visually impaired individuals, or the overall surface stability—trench cover design directly impacts accessibility. This is especially important as aging populations grow and demand for senior-friendly and child-safe environments rises in public facilities like hospitals and schools.

Today, we’ll share All Leader’s successful projects at Fengshan Elementary School in Kaohsiung and Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital (VGH). These cases demonstrate how material upgrades and structural integration can elevate accessibility and uphold a human-centered design approach.

Key Design Considerations for Accessible Trench Covers

Creating a Safe Space for Seniors and Children

A truly accessible environment serves not just those with physical disabilities, but also elderly individuals and children. In schools and medical institutions—where foot traffic is high—problems like uneven trench covers, large openings, or loose panels can lead to serious safety risks:

• Wheelchair wheels getting stuck
• Canes or walking frames falling into gaps
• High heels or small caster wheels catching in grates

In our Fengshan Elementary School project, we designed a safe, durable, and stable trench cover system tailored to both drainage needs and daily foot traffic—setting a new standard for accessible school campuses.

FRP Grating That Supports Heels and Wheelchairs Alike

FRP Safety Benefits for Everyday Use

All Leader’s FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) grating covers provide outstanding solutions for high-footfall areas like hospitals and schools.

Key features include:

• Micro-spacing design that prevents small objects like wheelchair casters, cane tips, or heels from getting caught
• Slip-resistant surface to ensure pedestrian safety in wet or rainy conditions
• Non-conductive material, ideal for healthcare settings where electrical safety and sensitive equipment are critical

In the Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital accessibility upgrade, our FRP trench covers significantly improved comfort and safety for pedestrians while reducing long-term maintenance needs.

Resin Concrete Bases That Reinforce Safety and Maintenance

Modular Design for Durability and Disaster Resilience

A trench cover is only as reliable as its foundation. That’s why All Leader integrates modular resin concrete bases that deliver:

• High compressive strength
• Tight, secure fitting for the trench cover
• Customizable height adjustments for uneven terrain

In both school and hospital environments, this modular base system allows for quick repairs and flexible upgrades, cutting maintenance costs while offering stability during emergencies like heavy rain or earthquakes.

Conclusion: All Leader’s Role in Building Truly Inclusive Infrastructure

From Fengshan Elementary School to Kaohsiung Veterans Hospital, All Leader’s accessible trench cover projects show that product design is more than just materials—it’s an extension of human-centered thinking.

Our FRP trench covers, resin concrete channel bodies, and modular bases are engineered to support accessibility upgrades in schools, hospitals, eldercare facilities, and public spaces.

If you’re planning an accessibility improvement project—whether in education, healthcare, or community design—we welcome you to contact us. Let’s work together to create a safer, more inclusive, and sustainable urban environment.
