Introducing the new Openreach compliant frames and covers. A new standard in access solutions for the telecoms networkA SEAMLESS UPGRADEOur new CW1-CW4 manhole covers and frames have been developed specifically to meet the latest Openreach carriageway specification. But we've gone far beyond just ticking compliance boxes. This new generation of Openreach compliant covers introduces a range of improvements designed to make your life easier on site - without altering the way you install. Key upgrades include:
REVOLUTIONARY INBOARD LOCKING SYSTEM
The newly developed inboard locking mechanism allows for a more streamlined installation process while significantly reducing the risk of damage during reinstatement. The system keeps the locking components safely inside the cover's profile, eliminating interference with compaction equipment during tarmac finishing. Still the same where it matters mostAll the critical features and dimensions you rely on remain the same, so you can install with confidence, using the same methods, tools and equipment as before. Here's what remains the sameInstallation tools: Fully compatible with existing Openreach cover lifters and fitting gear (LN373 Clause 5 compliant). Bedding materials: Designed to work seamlessly with approved mortars - no change to bedding depths, preparation or curing processes. Installation methods: Follows the same LN550 procedures and inspection criteria already familiar to your teams. Your contacts
