  • Publication number: 20240076837
    Abstract: A facility protection cover is disposed on a concrete foundation and covers a facility device disposed between the facility protection cover and the concrete foundation. The facility protection cover includes a cover body including a fiber-reinforced cement composite. The cover body includes two legs that are spaced apart from each other so as to be located on opposite sides of a facility device placement space. The facility device placement space accommodates the facility device. The cover body includes a bridging portion that bridges the two legs so as to extend over the facility device placement space. The cover body transmits a weight of a vehicle loaded on the cover body to the concrete foundation via the two legs, and restricts a separating relative movement of the two legs along a placement surface of the concrete foundation when the weight of the vehicle is loaded on the bridging portion.
