INTRODUCTION

A manhole cover is a removable plate forming the lid over the opening of a
manhole, to prevent anyone or anything from falling in, and to keep out
unauthorized persons and material.

FRP Manhole cover is lightweight and excellent protection against corrosion and
the effects of chemicals because it is made from FRP (fiber reinforced plastic). It
weighs only one seventh of the weight of an average cast iron cover. Because this
cover is lightweight, it is easy to remove it during maintenance.

 FEATURE OF FRP MAN HOLE COVER

 Light weight, about half as weight as the cast iron

 High strength, above the national standard of pressure resistance intensity,

 Spot load bearing up to 40 metric ton.

 No noise arised from automobile roller compaction

 Non-recoverable material, can guard against theft effectively

 Various color and pattern available on request. Eco-Friendly and beautify

the environment

 Reasonable price, lower than the price of national standard cast iron well
lid.

 Good thermal property, can normally use in temperature range from 40

below zero to

 150 degree centigrade. Long service life

 Heavy, medium and light duty, widely used for the pipeline and channel
project

 Can made according to the customer’s requirement.
