The manhole cover and frame industry are still been dominated by cast iron manufacturers. This has been beneficial to the consumers as cast iron can last a lifetime. However, there has always been the problem of theft as cast iron has recycle value. Unfortunately, it has presented the Councils and Municipalities with certain problems, namely:
the cost of replacing stolen covers
claims from the general public caused by personal injury or property damage resulting from open manholes
And injury to workers caused by the weight of cast iron covers and frames.
A solution to the theft problem is Polymer, which is a mixture of Resin, Sand and Fibres. This material it light weight and has no recycle value minimizes theft.
We at NAS Polymers have done extensive tests on Polymer and have come up with a formula to ensure our products are durable and strong.
The dimensions of our products are as specified by the SABS.
Covers can be colour coded to suite the customers needs.
Descriptive names or numbers can be cast on the covers.
Replacement covers for cast iron frames can be manufactured; the suitability is dependent on manufacturing the replacement cover to the correct size. Due to the nature of cast iron, not all frames are exactly the same size. It is therefore, important that we receive a sample of the frame into which the replacement cover must go to ensure a proper fit.
