What is the definition of Fiberglass Reinforced Composite material for Manhole Covers?
For those who are learning about this material:
**Fiberglass reinforced composite** is a composite material. Made from resin reinforced with fiberglass. (Fiberglass is a type of fiber with high strength, comparable to steel wire. They are extremely strong when in sheet form).
Why choose Fiberglass Reinforced Composite for Manhole Covers?
The important reason **composite** is a strong material is because *they are a composite material made of two or more materials*. This creates a new material with superior properties compared to the original materials.
(To understand this better, please refer to the article: **What is Composite? More than strength - The material of the future**.)
Thus, **fiberglass reinforced composite** is a type of material with heavy load-bearing capacity and requires less maintenance. They are lightweight and have high resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Therefore, they are currently widely applied in the field of manufacturing manhole covers, drain grates...
Hòa Bình is a leading supplier of various **composite manhole covers** that meet different needs and applications. Our fiberglass reinforced composite products are manufactured with the highest quality materials. To ensure the best protection for your pipes and other important infrastructure.
CHOOSING FIBERGLASS REINFORCED COMPOSITE MANHOLE COVERS OR CAST IRON MANHOLE COVERS
When compared to conventional **cast iron manhole covers**, fiberglass composite covers offer several advantages. Their superior mechanical strength makes them an ideal material for utility covers, requiring continuous and consistent operation for many years.
Below are the main benefits of choosing **fiberglass reinforced composite manhole covers** instead of cast iron covers:
Evaluating the durability of fiberglass reinforced composite manhole covers:
Unlike cast iron, **fiberglass reinforced composite manhole covers** *do not decompose, corrode, or rust when exposed to harsh weather elements.*
Furthermore, dimensional stability is a result of the proven fact that **fiberglass reinforced composite manhole covers** do not expand or contract in reaction to excessively high or cold temperatures.
Besides, it also does not require the additional coating layers that metal materials need to be effective.
Evaluating the customizability of composite manhole covers:
**Fiberglass reinforced composite manhole covers** are lightweight and easily molded into any desired shape. As a result, they have high customizability. These properties eliminate the secondary processing or finishing step typical with cast iron manhole covers.
Composite coatings also resist pests and bacteria.
In addition, the lightweight and convenient nature of **composite manhole covers** reduces the risk of injury to installation, repair, maintenance, and upkeep personnel.
Evaluating the Cost-effectiveness of using composite manhole covers:
**Fiberglass reinforced composite manhole covers** are generally less expensive than cast iron covers.
Cast iron manhole covers have high scrap value, making them a common target for theft and resale. In contrast, **fiberglass composite** has no scrap value because composite material cannot be recycled. Therefore, you will not need to replace composite manhole covers every few years due to theft.
COMMON APPLICATIONS OF FIBERGLASS REINFORCED COMPOSITE MANHOLE COVERS
Additional information:
**Fiberglass reinforced composite manhole covers** can be molded into many different complex shapes. With many superior properties, it becomes a popular material. It can be applied for cover use in several industries. Including:
- Petrochemical
- Water and wastewater
- Natural Gas
- Electrical
- Telecommunications
- Municipal use
