Polyethylene manhole covers are produced in various designs and materials. These covers are used as a covering for manholes. This product is suitable for access points such as sewage drains, wells, and telecommunication manholes. Using a manhole cover, water from the streets can easily be transferred to sewage systems. Similar to composite covers, these covers have a long lifespan due to their material, resisting potential damages. They are compact in appearance, making transportation simple and easy.
Advantages of Polyethylene Manhole Covers
- Theft-resistant: Due to the use of non-recyclable materials in its construction, this product is theft-resistant.
- Lightweight: Despite its lightweight, this cover is highly resistant to impacts and pressures. It is commonly used in sandy and marshy terrains, where other types of manhole covers might sink or settle.
- High resistance: The cover is highly suitable against sunlight, humid weather, and water.
- Easy to clean: Its smooth surface minimizes material adhesion, making it easy to clean.
- Quick installation: One of its positive aspects is its quick and easy installation.
Features of Polyethylene Manhole Covers
- Produced quickly compared to other manholes, making it cost-effective.
- High endurance against toxic gases.
- Easily customizable to desired specifications.
- Can withstand weights exceeding 113 kilograms.
Composition of Polyethylene Manhole Covers:
This product is made from polyethylene compounds, highly resistant to chemicals and harmful gases, making it a suitable choice for industrial and sewage applications, especially against sulfuric acid.
Polyethylene manhole covers meet complete certifications and standards. Besides its exceptional material, it continues to advance with technological growth, available in circular, rectangular, and square shapes, each serving various specific applications.
Measurement of Manholes
To measure the desired location, you need to measure the walls from both sides. If the well or hole in question is square or rectangular, you should take into account its width and length. The unit of measurement for this task is millimeters; based on the obtained measurements, you can procure the appropriate cover.
Where is it suitable to use this cover?
Polyethylene manhole covers should not be used on main streets and highways because their lightweight nature may lead to displacement when high-speed vehicles pass over them, causing the cover to come loose. While these covers offer many advantages, their drawbacks include low abrasion resistance, low light resistance, low environmental resistance, and low creep resistance. Therefore, if these features are critical for your application, this type of cover may not be suitable for you.
The price of the cover is calculated based on its material, diameter, and thickness. For more information and consultation on purchasing the right manhole cover for your needs, you can contact the experts at ABtank.
