Polycrete® Rhinocast® Solid Top Covers: Durable, Secure Access Solutions
Polycrete® Rhinocast® Solid Top Covers deliver robust and reliable access to underground utilities, including stormwater systems, sewer systems, electrical enclosures, and communication networks. These covers, crafted from high-strength ductile iron, withstand various environmental conditions while maintaining secure and safe access. Available in Class B and Class D ratings, they ensure durability and security for different load-bearing needs.
Understanding Solid Top Covers
Solid top covers provide a secure, non-recessed surface, ideal for areas where safety and security are paramount. Unlike recessed infill covers that integrate surface materials, solid top covers offer a smooth, uninterrupted surface suited for high-traffic areas. Their solid construction ensures they stay in place, providing a strong barrier between underground utilities and the surface environment.
Advantages of Rhinocast® Solid Top Covers
- Strength and Durability: Crafted from high-quality ductile iron, Rhinocast® solid top covers offer superior strength, making them suitable for both light and heavy-duty applications. They resist cracking, breaking, and wear, even under heavy loads.
- Security Features: Hold-down bolts enhance security, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring the cover stays securely in place, even under pressure.
- Slip-Resistant Surface: The square-pattern anti-slip surface enhances safety, reducing slip risks in wet or oily conditions, crucial for public spaces and high-traffic areas.
- Versatile Applications: Available in Class B and Class D ratings, these covers suit a wide range of applications, from pedestrian zones to roadways and industrial areas.
