1.Ductile Iron Manhole Cover Description :
A manhole cover is a removable plate forming the lid over the opening of a manhole, to prevent anyone or anything from falling in, and to keep out unauthorized persons and material.
A manhole cover sits on metal base, with a smaller inset rim which fits the cover. The base and cover are sometimes called "castings", because they are usually made by a casting process, typically sand-casting techniques.
2.Main Features of the Ductile Iron Manhole Cover:
1. High load capacity & resilience
Hardness is same as cast iron, while FRP manhole covers have overwhelming advantages on resilience recovery. They are designed to exceed A15/B125/C250/D400 load capacity, according to EN124: 1994.
2. Designed structure & pressure dispersion
Arc-shaped bottom structure allows the pressure they bear disperse averagely on the whole surface. Besides, the products are made not by SMC, it was put in several layers of fiber cloth to enhance the structures. So they are stronger than SMC composite manhole covers.
3. Consequences of temporarily overloading
Temporarily overloading may cause smash of concrete covers, seriously deformation, even slightly split. But this will not happen to FRP fiber cloth manhole cover.
4. Long service life
Strong resistance of acid, alkali, weathering, anti corrosion of water, dust, manhole covers used for gas are well sealed which prevent poisonous gas leaking.
Temperature tolerance is at the range of -40°C-200°C.
BS EN124 Standard:
A15: Area which can only be used by pedestrians and pedal cyclists.
B125: Footways, pedestrian areas and comparable parks or car parking decks.
C250: For gully tops installed in the area of curbside channels of roads.
D400: Carriage ways of roads(including pedestrian streets), hard shoulder and parking areas, for all types of road vehicles.
E600: Areas of imposing high wheel loads, e.g. dock and aircraft pavements

5.FAQ:
We have organized several common questions for our clients，may help you sincerely：
Q. Can I fit a square manhole cover into a round chamber?
A. Yes, there are a select few manhole covers which are square-to-round, meaning they will fit square or round chambers.

Q. I have a heavy traffic manhole cover but it has been broken by a forklift, why?
A. Forklifts have solid wheels which apply pressure differently to standard pneumatics and therefore covers must be specially adapted to suit this.

Q. I’ve measured my clear opening size but none of your covers match it, can you offer anything?
A. It’s likely that your cover is quite old and in imperial measurements which are no longer manufactured. However, we can offer bespoke solutions with manhole covers made to the specification you require.
