The EN124 D400 SMC Composite Round Manhole Cover is a state-of-the-art access solution engineered to replace traditional cast iron and concrete covers. Manufactured from high-performance Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC), it combines exceptional load-bearing capacity (D400, 40-tonne) with significantly reduced weight, offering superior durability, safety, and installation efficiency for modern municipal and utility infrastructure.
Meet the specifications of EN124-D400 loading
Our Third Party Testing Bodies: LLOYDS BRITISH, ICAS, SGS
All Access Covers are manufactured in SMC
No inherent scrap value
Corrosion resistant
Impact and weather resistant
Uniqe multi-directional slip
lightweight meeting Manual Handling Regulations
Municipal Roads & Highways: Ideal for urban streets, pedestrian zones, and parking lots requiring durable, safe, and low-maintenance access points.
Industrial & Utility Plants: Perfect for water, gas, and telecommunications access chambers within industrial complexes and utility corridors.
Airports & Ports: Suitable for heavy-duty applications in airfield aprons, port pavements, and logistics yards where corrosion resistance is critical.
Green Infrastructure & Sustainable Developments: An optimal choice for projects prioritizing long-lifecycle materials, reduced carbon footprint in transport/installation, and enhanced worksite safety.

Anti slip pattern

Avatar cover of composite access covers achieved a market leading Skid Resistance Value of 89
The table below has been developed from data collected by County
Surveyors Society and illustrates the acceptabable parameters when tested using the TRRL Pendulum Test in general accordance with BS667:part 1:1986
This test provides a slip resistance value(SRV) for each surface tested The higher value the greater slip resistance.
