KNOWLEDGE BASE

Choosing the right steel cover

Although BS EN 124 does cover manhole tops manufactured from a variety of materials including steel it is argued that some test procedures are inappropriate for steel. The standard defines certain test loads and minimum permanent deflections that are impractical from an economic point of view and it is maintained are unnecessary in certain slow-moving traffic situations. In addition, steel fabrication is a highly flexible process allowing all sorts of non-standard sizes and designs that are not covered by BS EN 124.

Tailored and proven solutions

No two chambers are the same. We offer a full range of standard and bespoke sizes, configurations and finishes - ensuring the cover fits the job. Developed alongside major utilities, our designs meet strict technical standards and perform reliably in the field.

Designed for safe, efficient maintenance

Ease of access and operator safety are built into every cover. Features such as lift-assist options, integral hinges, fall protection and non-slip finishes support quicker, safer inspections and interventions.

Strength and long-term performance

Galvanised or coated finishes protect against corrosion, even in harsh environments. Reinforced frames, high load ratings and built-in stiffness reduce seat wear and bedding failures over time, delivering lasting reliability.
