Innovative Manhole Covers from EJ

Manhole covers have a long history almost as long as the span of civilisation. The Romans used slabs of stone to cover sewer access points and water trenches preventing people and livestock from tumbling in. For most of the ancient civilisations, wood or stone was the material of choice available to cover sewers.

The Industrial Revolution paved the way for industrial knowledge-boom and urbanisation, which led to the usage of metals in making manhole covers. Founded 135 years ago during the this era EJ has since grown worldwide and continues to provide access solutions that meet the demands of modern day infrastructure.

Manhole Covers in the 21st Century

Manhole covers prevent unauthorised access to sewers, pipelines, meters, and other utility facilities. They has several functions aside from being just a plain round, heavy metal object embedded in the ground.

Manhole covers make it easy for utility workers to inspect wires or pipelines and clean the drainage system beneath. Manhole covers are also made to protect pedestrians from falling or wheels from getting stuck into an open manhole.

The increasing trend in using lighter weight materials resulting in what is now called composite manhole covers.

Innovative products with clever functionality that meet standard safety requirements are the hallmarks of EJ. Design, construction, dimensions, specifications and features are all important parameters to consider when searching for manhole covers.
