Fully featured and comprehensive rangeOur Highway ironwork range is durable, reliable, simple to specify, easy to install and operate. We know from talking to our customers they value high quality products with straightforward ranges and support on hand to help select the right solution. The range is a triumph of engineering, practicality and simplicity. Available in a variety of sizes and depths, Highway has been thoughtfully designed and engineered to be the easiest range of manhole covers, gullies and ancillary products to specify and install on the market The range exceeds the most demanding standards and guidelines from national highway authorities and is fully compliant with the most rigorous specification standards, including CD 534 v0.1.0 (formerly HA 104/09), BS 7903 and BS EN 124:2015. 
Meeting the needs of National Highways CD 534 v0.1.0 with HighwayNational Highways has updated CD 534, a significant set of its requirements for manhole covers and gully grates installed on their road network. First released in February 2020 and updated to version 0.1.0 as of May 2022. Frame flange areaCD 534 v0.1.0 now sets a minimum flange area of 190,000mm² for D400 and 285,000mm² for E600 covers, this equates to 2.1N/mm² as in HA 104/09. Frame depth and weightA 150mm frame depth is now required on motorways and all purpose trunk roads. A lower limit frame weight is also specified to ensure frames are stiff enough. Skid resistanceThe WRc test mehod is now the only accepted test method for calculating skid resistance on raised chequer. This test measures a small tyre’s resistance to sideways slip caused by the cover surface. D400 or E600E600 manhole covers are to be installed in place of D400 covers where the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of light goods vehicles travelled on a road is greater than 1,500 in each direction. Check road traffic statistics for AADT
> 1,500 Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT)?With the introduction of CD 534 there were several key changes. This includes the requirement for E600 manhole covers to be installed in place of D400 covers where the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of light goods vehicles travelled on a road is greater than 1,500 in each direction. As a "rule of thumb", most A roads will have an annual average daily traffic number over 1,500 light goods vehicles. Full traffic data can be found for many locations around the UK on the Government website. 
Manhole cover frame raising systemClicklift compatibleClicklift eliminates the time and resources required to dig out and reinstall frames to suit the final adoptable surface. This eliminates the potential damage to manhole covers during construction and removes the potential for residents claims for damage to their vehicles and massively reduces disruption. Clicklift provides housing developers with huge savings in terms of time, money and hassle. Allowing whole estates to have their covers raised to the final surfacing level, in as little as a few hours. 
The hard hat for your ironworkArmadillo compatibleArmadillo is a complete range of protector shells, designed to be placed over manhole covers and gully grates to provide enhanced protection during the construction phase. Armadillo provides protection from construction site traffic, including tracked vehicles, and can be easily removed when the final surfacing is completed. This ensures manhole covers and gully grates can start their service life in ‘as new’ condition to optimise longevity.
