FAQs

1. Why are composite manhole covers becoming more popular than traditional materials?

Composite manhole covers are gaining popularity because they are lightweight, highly durable, non-corrosive, and theft-resistant. Unlike metal covers, they do not rust or degrade over time, and since they contain no scrap value, they deter theft. Their lighter weight also makes handling and installation much easier, reducing labour costs and workplace injuries.

2. Can composite manhole covers handle heavy vehicle traffic?

Yes, composite manhole covers are engineered to meet or exceed load-bearing standards set by international regulations. They come in various load classes, including options suitable for high-traffic roads, highways, and industrial areas. Advanced manufacturing techniques ensure they maintain strength without the excessive weight of traditional materials.

3. What makes composite manhole covers environmentally friendly?

Composite covers are eco-friendly because they do not require metal mining, reducing the carbon footprint of production. Many are made using recycled materials and are themselves recyclable. Additionally, they eliminate the need for frequent replacements due to corrosion, reducing long-term waste.

4. How do composite covers perform in extreme weather conditions?

Composite manhole covers are designed to withstand extreme weather, from scorching heat to freezing temperatures. Unlike metal covers, they do not expand or contract significantly with temperature changes, preventing warping or cracking. They are also resistant to UV rays, chemicals, and heavy rainfall, making them a long-lasting solution for all climates.

5. Do composite manhole covers require special maintenance?

Composite covers require minimal maintenance because they do not rust, corrode, or degrade like metal or other traditional materials. Routine inspections are recommended to check for damage, but they generally do not require painting, lubrication, or anti-corrosion treatments. Their long lifespan reduces maintenance costs over time.
