Getting The Best TripleSealed Manhole Cover For Your Needs
Consider the following factors when choosing the best triple-seal manhole cover for your needs:
Load-Bearing Capacity
It’s important to choose a cover with the correct load-bearing capacity for its intended installation environment and use case. Standard residential covers can generally support pedestrian and light vehicle traffic, while heavier-duty options can handle small utility vehicles. Make sure the cover meets the required loads to prevent damage to infrastructure and vehicles!
Ventilation & Odour Control
Consider a sealed cover in areas where odours may come up from the manhole cover, especially in kitchens or public areas like libraries or gardens. Our stock of double-sealed covers provides strong odour control, while our triple-sealed manhole covers are some of the strongest on the market!
Visual Coherence
For areas where appearance is important, consider a recessed manhole cover that can blend in with its surroundings.
Load-Bearing Capacity
It’s important to choose a cover that has the correct load bearing capacity for its intended use case and also has the correct slip-resistant surface. f. Standard residential covers can generally support pedestrian and light vehicle traffic, while heavier-duty options can handle small utility vehicles. Make sure the cover meets the required loads to prevent damage to infrastructure and vehicles!
Ease of Installation and Removal
The lightweight nature of plastic manhole covers makes them easier to handle compared to heavier materials. Most of our manhole covers come with lifting keys for ease of use, but consider the cover’s material and features for easier installation and use.
Security Features
Sometimes, it’s important to prevent access to the utilities below the manhole cover. Look for covers with locking mechanisms or tamper-resistant designs. These features are especially important in public areas and private properties where safety and security concerns are higher.
Slip Resistance
Depending on the style of manhole cover you choose, and its intended installation location, slip resistance can be an important safety feature, especially in high-footfall indoor public spaces. Choose a cover with slip-resistant features to reduce the likelihood of slips and falls, or consider a recessed manhole cover with contents that improve grip, especially in wet or icy conditions.
