It is used for sewer manholes, water manholes, electricity manholes, etc. SMC Manhole Cover has sealing gasket rubber which prevents odor from escaping out in the sewer manhole.

Cast iron manhole covers are made of cast iron and have scrap values due to which there is a high risk of theft. Heavyweight cast iron manhole covers have the risk of injury and less suitable for the corrosive environment and have high conductivity capacity (electricity flows easily through them). That’s why SMC manhole cover is better than a cast manhole cover.

SMC manhole has long life service and also solves the stolen problem. SMC manhole covers used in road systems have a higher load-bearing capacity and bend resistance. Due to its excellent aging resistance capacity, it has light stability and moisture resistance which helps to preserve its beautiful color for a long.
