Manhole covers made of composite materials
Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) composite provides several advantages over previously used materials like concrete and cast iron for manhole and access cover construction. Fibrelite makes a line of FRP manhole covers and access covers. The lightweight FRP is compatible with legislation restricting acceptable handling weights. FRP use versus concrete can reduce on-the-job injury, thereby providing a safer employee environment and reduced workers' comp and other associated expenses.
