A certain safety equipment making market in the UAE has recently designed special composite manhole covers. The product has successfully passed the load test and is considered to adhere to the government’s highway load ratings for manhole covers. The composite manhole covers’ are available is 30 and 36 inches diameter and can also be customized in specific cases. The composite covers are also tested based on international load testing standards for standard specifications such as utility, drainage, sewers and other related castings. These specifications ensured by the standards can be used to predict how the manhole cover will perform when installed in traffic lanes where the load bearing is more. Specifications are mainly given for aluminium and gray iron castings. But these composite manhole covers and frames are designed in such a way that they meet or even exceed the standards and demanding requirements set forth by the other materials. Manhole covers in the UAE undergo load testing from 40,000 to 50,000 pounds and these proof loads are applied on these manhole covers for a period of one minute. If the product passes the load testing without any visible cracks on the cover or the frame and it is made sure that there is no permanent deflection and deformation to the manhole cover, the product design will be approved. A certain manhole covers creation commerce in the UAE produces covers of two types of standard duty which are subjected to a load testing of 40,000 pound proof load. Both these covers are approved by the government of the UAE as no visible signs of damage or cracking have been reported. The heavy duty manhole covers made by load testing with over 50,000 pounds of proof loads. Over the past 30 years, the trade has been one of the top manufacturers of manhole covers and frames and has been at the forefront of designing and developing composite manholes. Their products form an extensive part of the petroleum industry apart from normal traffic lane applications. The lightweight composite manhole covers and frames created specially for the gasoline service stations since the early 1980s are still popular and the production has continued to improve the product design and also develop innovative methods to meet the requirements of the changing industry. They also offer water tight composite manhole covers for the petroleum industry which is the industry’s only multiport manhole cover. Apart from these standard designs, they also offer a wide range of crafted fibreglass enclosures and secondary containments. Therefore, the manhole covers built in the UAE have resulted in a very few occupational hazards and have proved to be very useful.
