A QUALITY ABOVE THE REST Unite™ E600 Manhole CoversSimply the best E600 access cover range available in the market, in fact it's so good Unite is available with a 10 year warranty*. Packed full of design features that combine to give Unite the longest life and lowest whole life cost of any E600 access cover available. Designed and manufactured to exceed BS EN 124 and Highways England’s Design Manual for Roads and bridges (DMRB) specification CD 534 v0.1.0. 
Unite E600 manhole covers provide increased strength to the cover and structure, as well as enlarged frame corners that help to dissipate loads. These features work together to ensure Unite E600 has minimal movement in the ground – increasing longevity. The increased flange area provides a bearing pressure under test load of no more than 2.1N/mm2, adding another level of consideration for road environment requirements advised by Highways England. The anti-slide feature helps to prevent movement or sliding within the frame and minimises seat wear, further increasing the life of the product. The Unite range as a whole offers the most mortar-sympathetic frame arrangement available, employing a textured flange, which utilises the mechanical properties of bedding mortar rather than just the adhesive characteristics. The flange edge is deliberately round profiled, eliminating crack induction in surrounding bedding materials. All of this combines to ensure the longest operational life of any UK double triangular chamber top. In fact, we're so confident in Unite's performance, it's available with a 10 year warranty*. 
Square or rectangular manhole covers
 Unite 10 year warrantyWhen installed with either our Unipak polymer resin bedding mortar, or Instarmac Envirobed® CD534 flowable bedding mortar, the Unite range is available with a 10-year product warranty*. Due to its unique design and overwhelming success in the local authority and utilities sector, Unite is the proven choice for durability and longevity for highway ironwork installations.

> 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. 
Textured flange surfaceFit and forgetUnites flange surface provides a textured finish for bedding mortar to adhere to and the mortar holes allow for interlocking between both sides. This allows Unite to utilise the mechanical properties of bedding mortar, not just its adhesive characteristics. The built in a bevelled frame edge as standard, prevents sharp edges from cutting into and breaking mortar away over time, as vibrations from traffic are transferred into the foundation. These unique mortar-sympathetic, and advanced design features, allow Unite installations to stand the test of time in extreme environments. 
Seal platesRetrofit as standardLow leak and No leak seal plates can be retrofitted to the Unite range as an optional extra. This enables contractors to simply return to an installation and install the required sealing plate with minimal disruption and inconvenience caused. With the recent increase in the amount of foul waste entering storm drains, Unite provides a simple solution to reduce the impact of foul waste and surface water entering storm drains. A high-pressure, no leak seal plate is also available as a factory fitted item. 
Universal beamA strength above the restOur high rigidity support beams, based on 'Universal Beam' technology, result in lower seat wear, improved longevity and lighter covers. Developed using advanced computer modelling and testing, this technology, incorporated in bridge and building construction, offers maximum strength and stiffness, dissipating the effects of forces exerted from high volumes of traffic. It also ensures that wear of cover seating is minimised (where the cover meets the frame), which is a common cause of failure in many rival covers. This all combines to provide the longest service life possible for the whole structure. Unite™ accessories
