Flat Manhole Covers

If the manholes are intended to be constructed near frequent foot traffic, it is best to go for flat manhole covers. Made from aluminium material typically, these type of manhole covers easily incorporate with the ground and when traversing the area, avoids getting in anyone’s way.

Using any other kind of manhole covers in heavy foot traffic would likely result in people stumbling or running into the cover. If the area has a concern for water leakage then make sure to choose a watertight option.

Flat manhole covers also offer the benefit of compatibility with multiple lock configurations that makes their installation seamless in high-traffic areas and ensures all-round safety.

Domed Manhole Covers

Domed manhole covers are probably the easiest covers to work with, however, their installation is fitted for manholes that are distant from heavy-traffic areas. Because of their domed structure, they tend to set about a foot off the ground at their highest point.

The design of this type of cover works well to aid both the flow measurement systems and the workforce involved. Their 1-foot protrusion from the ground enables them to keep out surface water effectively.

Traffic-Rated Manhole Covers

While the flat manhole covers are perfectly suited for withstanding heavy foot-traffic areas, they are not ideal to be installed in traffic or vehicle areas. If you are looking for manhole covers to be installed in areas where vehicles shall pass over frequently, then the traffic-rated manhole covers need to be used so as to handle the extra pressure.

These covers are typically used in highways, roads and parking lots.
