Ribbed Structural Geometry on Composite Manhole Covers

A closer look at the ribbed underside geometry used across Compotec's composite manhole cover range.

Ribbed Structural Geometry on Composite Manhole Covers

The underside of a Compotec composite manhole cover is a ribbed structural surface. The pattern distributes load across the cover body and contributes to compliance with EN 124 load classes.

Product Family
Manhole Covers

Design Principle

The ribbed geometry is designed to transfer traffic load from the top surface into the cover body and frame, keeping the visible face flat and even.

Standards

Compotec composite covers are produced in line with EN 124 requirements. Load classes are selected according to the application area — for example D 400 for carriageways.
