Midas and your insurance: The Insurance Upside.

Ask a fuel distributor what a cross-drop costs and you’ll hear about the uplift, the clean-up and the unhappy customer. Fewer people mention the bill that turns up later: the renewal.

Insurers take wrong deliveries seriously. In fuel distribution, misdelivery is often sold as its own named cover, and some underwriters give it a separate limit. That tells you how costly they believe it is.

It also shows where the savings lie. Premiums follow your claims history and how well you manage risk, and Midas helps on both:

- Fewer incidents, fewer claims. Every cross-drop Midas stops is a claim that never reaches your insurer, an excess you never pay and a loss that never sits on your record.

- A stronger story at renewal. An automatic shut-off at the fill point, backed by a time-stamped record of each drop, answers “how do you control this risk?” far better than training records alone.

- Quicker answers when a delivery is questioned. A clear record helps settle disputes before they drag on.

Stopping cross-drops protects your fuel, your customers and your reputation. It can protect your premium too.

When did your insurer last ask how you prevent misdeliveries?

Not all composite covers are made the same.

On a busy forecourt, an access cover takes thousands of wheel loads a week, from family cars to fully laden tankers. What sits beneath it (tank lids, fill points, monitoring wells, pipework) is exactly what you can’t afford to damage or expose. That’s why the way a cover is made matters so much.

Fibrelite covers are produced by resin transfer moulding (RTM), which forms each cover as one monolithic piece. No bonded layers separate the structure, so it stays consistent and won’t delaminate in service. Laminated alternatives are built up in layers bonded together, and those bond lines are where weakness tends to start.

What you get with Fibrelite:
✔ Tested to BS EN 124, with D400-rated versions for heavy traffic areas
✔ Light enough for safe manual lifting, reducing manual handling risk
✔ No corrosion, and no scrap value, so nothing worth stealing
✔ Sealed flat covers that keep water out of your chambers
✔ Specified by all the major oil companies

Planning a new build, a refurbishment or replacing tired covers? Talk to our sales team, and we’ll help you match the right cover to the chamber, load class, and job.

Fibrelite Composite Covers: wider range now available.

The cover over a tank chamber gets driven over, stood on and rained on every single day. It also has to come off by hand the moment an engineer needs to get in.

That’s the job Fibrelite composite covers were designed for, and it’s why they’re specified by all the major oil companies. Berrys has supplied Fibrelite in the UK since February 1997, and we’ve now expanded the range of covers we can offer.

They’re light enough for safe manual removal without giving up strength, and most models can be lifted by one person. That matters when opening a chamber is part of a routine inspection, not a once-a-year job.

Choosing the right cover comes down to four things: the load class, the clear opening, what you need to reach underneath (fill, dip, monitoring well, or grounding point), and how often it gets lifted. Tell us those, and our sales team will get back to you with the right cover and a quote.

Every server on a data centre campus depends on cables nobody sees.

They run in trenches from the substation to the electrical yard, out to the mechanical yard where the cooling plant sits, and across the site roads in between. And those trenches get opened far more often than anyone plans for: during fit-out, when a new hall comes online, and whenever a fault has to be traced.

With concrete lids, each job starts with lifting gear and a crew. With Fibrelite GRP composite trench covers, it starts with a lifting handle.

Here’s what the range brings to a data centre site:
🔹 Single trench spans up to 1,675mm wide, plus double and triple runs using middle wall supports.
🔹 Side locking roto-latches that fix to a stainless steel angle on the trench wall, and interlocking latches that lock each cover to the next one.
🔹 Restraining bolts with a standard Allen head, or a Tri Head that only opens with its dedicated key.
🔹 The service below is moulded into the surface, so nobody lifts the wrong run.
🔹 Made to fit precast, cast-in-place, or existing trench systems, including retrofits over failing concrete covers.

Standard widths run from 300mm to 1,000mm and lengths from 600mm to 2,000mm. Anything else is made to measure, with fire-rated options, rain-tight modular covers, cable entries and inspection ports available.

Planning a new build, or replacing tired concrete covers? A site plan or trench schedule is the quickest route to a quote. If the design is still moving, tell us the trench type, clear width, total run, and where vehicles cross, and our team will get back to you with options.

A mis-fuel rarely starts with a careless driver. It usually starts with a busy day.

Thirty drops on the schedule. A forecourt with four fill points that all look the same. A delivery window that’s already slipping. That’s when diesel ends up in the unleaded tank, and the costs arrive quickly: tank uplift, line flush, site closure, an insurance claim, and an awkward call with the customer. Industry estimates put a single incident at up to $100,000 once everything is counted.

MIDAS is built so that nobody has to rely on getting it right under pressure. It checks the product, and if it's wrong, the valve stays shut.

What happens at the fill point?
1. An RFID reader talks to a tag fitted at each tank’s fill point. The tag carries that tank’s programmed product specification.
2. Optical sensors inside the unit read the density and refractive characteristics of the fuel arriving and compare them with that specification.
3. A stepper motor moves a butterfly valve through four positions: shut, cracked open, drain open and fully open. No match, no flow.

More than 5,000 MIDAS Elbows are already in service worldwide. If you deliver or receive fuel, our commercial team can help you choose the right configuration for your fleet or site and put together a quotation.

We’re proud to share that Berrys Technologies Limited is a finalist for the APEA Milestone Award 2026.

Our story started in Birmingham in 1966. A lot has changed since then. What hasn’t changed is the name above the door and the way we like to work.

That’s why this one means so much to us. It was never really about the number. It belongs to our engineers, our assembly team, the people who pick up the phone, and the customers and partners who keep trusting us with their sites, year after year.

Thank you, all of you.

We’re in very good company on the shortlist, so congratulations to every finalist.

On Thursday, 12 November, we’ll be at Arena MK, on our stand during the day and at the awards dinner in the evening. Whatever name is read out, we’ll be raising a glass to sixty years of doing this together. Although we won’t pretend we wouldn’t love to bring it home to Birmingham.

Come and say hello to us at our Stand D2.

Easy Riser - The valve at the top of a forecourt vent takes a few minutes to check.

Getting to it was always the real job.

It sits at least five metres up, and it needs annual inspection. For a long time that meant access equipment, a second pair of hands and somebody working at height above live fuel tanks. A lot of preparation for a very short inspection.

We stopped trying to make the climb better and took it away.

The Easy Riser has a ball-and-knuckle joint two metres up the vent. Unlatch the handle; the joint becomes a pivot, and the top section swings down until the valve is right in front of you. One engineer, feet on the ground, no tools.

Check it, swing it back, latch it, next site.

Two things we would not trade to get there:

1. Height. The easy answer is to put the valve lower, but that puts petrol vapour where people walk, park and work. Upright, an Easy Riser stands at least five metres. The working height comes down for a few minutes a year. The discharge height stays put.

2. The valve. Every Easy Riser carries the same Berrys pressure and vacuum valve, with a sprung movement and a gauze filter. Service one and you know them all.

We have shipped them to Dubai, Australia and Cambodia, and closer to home to the Netherlands, France and Lithuania. Those forecourts have almost nothing in common, except that nobody on any of them wants to climb a ladder to check a valve.

If a job has to be done every year on every site, one person should be able to do it safely and properly.

How do you do vent checks on your forecourt today?

The tank chamber that arrives as part of the tank.

Welded to the tank, built in corbel, vacuum tested twice.

Most chamber leaks start at on-site joints: the chamber bolted to the upstand, or the corbel bonded to the chamber. ATLAS Mono Gen 2 eliminates both.

The steel chamber is welded to the tank during manufacture and finished with the same Endoprene coating, so it arrives as part of the tank and is built to last as long as the tank does: 30 years. The corbel is built in, so there's nothing to bolt or seal. And every chamber is vacuum tested twice, once at the tank manufacturer and again by our team after the pipework, electrics and gauging are done.

For installers, that means hours back on site and a much better chance of passing the vacuum test first time. For site owners, it means fewer places for fuel or water to get in or out.

60 years. That's not just a number we put on a slide; it's decades of getting the small things right.

Berrys was founded in 1966 in Birmingham, and one thing hasn't changed since: how much we care about how a product is built, not just what it does once it leaves our doors.

Walk through our facility, and you'll see it for yourself. Every casting labelled and shelved by process stage. Every valve, tee and fitting stored exactly where it should be, ready for the next step rather than sitting lost on a bench. Every component tracked, so nothing goes into a finished product without being accounted for first.

It's not about looking tidy for a photo. It's the system that lets us build fuel infrastructure equipment that forecourts, depots and industrial sites across the country rely on every day. When you're manufacturing safety-critical components, organisation on the shop floor isn't a detail; it's part of the engineering.

Sixty years in, that's still what defines us: care in every component, discipline in every process, and quality built in-house, right here in Birmingham.

Curious what all of that care actually builds? Have a look through our full product range on our website; link below.
