– The special Features of Aagam Manhole Covers–
FRP-Fibre Reinforced Polymer is a composite material made from Glass Fiber Reinforcement in a polymer matrix. The polymer is an epoxy, Vinyl Ester or unsaturated polyester thermo setting component and glass fibres in the form of woven roving, chopped strand mat and surfaceing veil. Aagam FRP manhole covers are manufactured using one-step Compression Molding Technology under high pressure resulting in a dense compact product with high impact and tensile strength.
Aagam manhole covers shall be made of Glass Fiber-Reinforced polymer with 45% to 70% of glass fibers, utilizing a thermoset resin matrix, manufactured with high pressure closed mould technology.
With uniform compaction throughout the body, the core material gives rigidity where as the FRP shell provides structural elasticity to the core material. This unique combination of rigidity and elasticity gives Aagam manhole cover a distinctive advantage over Cast Iron and Concrete Covers with better compressive and breaking strength. matrix, manufactured with high pressure closed mould technology.
Aagam FRP range of Manhole Covers and frames have been specially developed to offer safer and easier access to underground inspection services with reduced risk of injury and meet the load requirements from pedestrian walkways to highways; suitable for Inspection chambers, UG Tanks, Overhead Tanks, Silt Trap chambers, Earth Pits, Rain Harvesting chambers, Podium catch Basins, STP tanks, Gas line chambers, Electrical & Communication chambers.
AAGAM FRP Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer Manhole Covers are a preferred alternative to traditional Concrete, Cast Iron and Ductile Iron Drain covers for several reasons. The main benefits of using Aagam FRP Manhole Covers:
1. Light Weight: Aagam FRP Manhole covers are considerably lighter than Concrete, Cast Iron or Ductile Covers making them easy to handle for installation and maintenance
2. High Strength to Weight Ratio: Aagam FRP products will weigh one seventh as much steel or Concrete and carry high Mechanical properties. While Tensile strength of Steel can vary from 483-690 Mpa the FRP will be from 483 to 4580 Mpa
3. Anti-slip properties: Aagam FRP Manhole covers are manufactured with textured surfaces to provide an anti-slip surface, thus reducing the potential for slips and falls improving safety.
4. Corrosion resistant: Aagam FRP Manhole covers do not rust, corrode or deteriorate due to exposure to the elements, chemicals or saltwater making them an ideal choice for areas that are prone to corrosion
5. Heavy Duty and Long Lasting: AAGAM FRP Manhole covers are highly durable and can withstand heavy loads and impacts, without cracks and breakages. They have an average lifespan of up to 30 - 40 years, requiring less frequent replacements than traditional products.
6. Cost-effective: FRP Manhole covers are typically less expensive than traditional materials including Cast Iron and Ductile Iron covers. The cost savings combined with their durability and low maintenance requirements make FRP drain covers affordable and value worth.
