Come see what a hatch cover should feel like.

2026_Everest-Blog-FeatureImage-WaterJam

Dates: Tuesday and Wednesday, September 15–16, 2026
Venue: Virginia Beach Convention Center
On hand: Nathan and Lleyton Cruickshank

Two days of water, wastewater, and stormwater professionals in one hall — and we’re bringing the hardware, not a brochure. Open the cover. Lift it. Look at how the barrier deploys. It’s the part of specifying access that a spec sheet can’t do for you.


Stop by Booths 739 & 741 either day of the show and put your name in the raffle.
No purchase, no pitch required. Enter, and talk shop if you have a minute.


See the weight, the lift, and the integrated fall protection barrier for yourself. Every Everest cover ships with the barrier as standard, not as an add-on.

The XTIRPA setup we use for confined-space entry and retrieval, assembled and ready to look at.

Worksite protection for open manholes, set up the way your crew would set it up.

If you’re specifying access for a new build, or replacing covers that were never designed with confined-space entry in mind, bring your drawings. That’s the conversation worth having in person.


Email either of us with a question ahead of the show, or call (908) 323-1665. Otherwise, we’ll see you on the floor.
