RPS Engineering 5 by 6 inch interlocking aluminum planking for tank covers
5″ x 6″ M/F interlocking planking. Our standard choice for longer spans and heavier loads. The male/female interlock locks planks into a rigid cover assembly.
RPS Engineering 2 by 7 inch low-profile aluminum planking for headworks and channel covers
2″ x 7″ low-profile planking. Built for short spans and tight vertical clearances over bar screens, grinders, headworks, and channels.
RPS Engineering aluminum flat cover with integral access hatch and flush lift handle
Integral hatch. Access built right into the cover with a flush lift handle, so operators reach in-tank equipment without pulling panels.

See full profiles, weights, and applications on our aluminum flat tank cover page.

Our wastewater cover lineup

Every RPS cover is engineered to its installation: load conditions, environmental exposure, access needs, and regulatory requirements are all factored in before a single component is fabricated. Ask us at the booth about:

  • Aluminum flat tank covers with integral access hatches
  • Aluminum and fiberglass geodesic domes
  • Launder channel covers
  • Weirs, baffles, and scum containment systems for clarifiers
