Duraguard Anti Corrosion SMC Access Cover for Sewer Drainage and Telecom

Product Specification

Our advanced composite manhole cover is a premium solution developed to meet the evolving demands of global infrastructure projects. Made from high-performance fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and sheet molding compound (SMC), this product is designed to deliver superior mechanical strength, long-term durability, and excellent resistance to environmental stressors. Whether installed on highways, pedestrian zones, industrial parks, or telecom networks, it offers unmatched reliability in both function and safety.

Key Features & Advantages:

Unlike conventional materials such as ductile iron or concrete, composite manhole covers are significantly lighter in weight while maintaining high load-bearing capabilities. This makes them easier and safer to install, reducing labor intensity and operational costs during both construction and maintenance phases. One person can easily lift the cover using standard lifting tools, eliminating the need for heavy machinery or multiple workers.

The product's key feature is its high compressive and flexural strength, achieved through a well-balanced reinforcement system of glass fibers and thermosetting resins. These covers can be produced to comply with international load standards like EN124 (classes A15 through F900) and are rigorously tested to ensure performance under extreme pressure, vibration, and repetitive loading conditions.

Corrosion resistance is another major advantage. Traditional metal covers tend to rust or deteriorate when exposed to moisture, chemicals, or salts. In contrast, our composite covers remain unaffected by water, acids, oils, and common road de-icing chemicals, making them ideal for use in coastal regions, wastewater treatment plants, and industrial zones. This property significantly extends the lifespan of the cover and minimizes maintenance requirements.

Thermal and electrical insulation further enhance the product’s safety profile. Unlike metallic covers, our composite covers do not conduct electricity, reducing the risk of electrical accidents in power, utility, and telecom environments. They also remain stable in temperature extremes, resisting warping or cracking in both high-heat and freezing conditions.

In terms of design, we offer complete customization options. Clients can request embossed logos, anti-slip textures, QR codes, or even color-coded lids to indicate specific infrastructure systems (e.g., red for electrical, green for telecom, blue for water). All covers come with integrated sealing systems or lock mechanisms when needed, to ensure they stay securely in place, prevent odor leakage, and deter unauthorized access.

Our watertight and airtight options are particularly suitable for areas where flooding or water ingress must be prevented. These covers provide a tight seal that protects underground systems such as fiber optics, electrical cables, or gas lines from environmental damage.

Environmental sustainability is also at the core of our product development. Composite covers are manufactured using energy-efficient processes and recyclable materials, helping municipalities and contractors meet green building and low-carbon infrastructure goals. Moreover, because they are non-metallic, they are not subject to theft—a common problem with iron manhole covers in many cities.

Each product undergoes strict quality inspection before shipping, including mechanical testing, dimensional verification, and surface finish checks. We are proud to offer products that meet not only technical requirements but also aesthetic and safety expectations for modern infrastructure.

In summary, our composite manhole covers represent a forward-thinking solution that combines performance, safety, longevity, and sustainability. Whether you're upgrading an aging infrastructure system or designing a new project from the ground up, these covers are engineered to meet your highest expectations.
