Product Description

SMC Composite Manhole Cover – Lightweight Strength for Modern Infrastructure

The SMC composite manhole cover is a breakthrough innovation that redefines what modern infrastructure demands from access solutions. Developed using advanced Sheet Molding Compound technology, this product blends fiberglass reinforcement with thermosetting resins to deliver a structure that is both lightweight and remarkably strong. It provides the perfect alternative to cast iron or concrete covers traditionally used in urban and industrial projects.

SMC composite covers weigh up to 70% less than cast iron, enabling effortless handling and installation without heavy lifting machinery. Yet, they maintain comparable mechanical strength and rigidity, fully complying with international load standards from Class A15 to D400 under EN124. This unique combination significantly improves worksite efficiency and reduces the risk of worker injury.

Corrosion is one of the major causes of infrastructure degradation, but SMC composites are inherently immune to rust, oxidation, and chemical erosion. The cover’s non-metallic nature also eliminates the issue of theft — a persistent problem in many regions. The surface can be customized with anti-slip textures and color variations to match surrounding environments, providing both functional safety and aesthetic enhancement.

Elite New Materials utilizes state-of-the-art molding equipment to ensure consistency, high fiber dispersion, and perfect sealing between the cover and frame. Each unit is inspected under strict quality standards, ensuring long-term stability and watertight performance where required. Available in round, square, or rectangular shapes, the covers can be tailored to telecom, drainage, electrical, or water utility applications.

With its eco-friendly composition, minimal maintenance, and long service life, the SMC composite manhole cover embodies the new generation of sustainable infrastructure products that prioritize safety, performance, and environmental responsibility.

Urban Series FRP Manhole Cover – Designed for City Aesthetics and Safety

Elite’s Urban Series FRP manhole cover is specifically designed to meet the visual and technical requirements of modern city landscapes. Manufactured using fiberglass-reinforced polymer composites, it combines high strength and corrosion resistance with superior appearance and customizability.

Unlike conventional covers that often disrupt urban aesthetics, the Urban Series offers various surface textures, color tones, and logo designs that integrate seamlessly with pavements and architectural styles. Each cover can be produced in gray, green, or black tones—or customized to complement specific urban themes.

The FRP structure ensures long-term durability even under heavy rainfall, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to vehicle traffic. It does not deform, corrode, or create noise when vehicles pass, offering both functional and environmental benefits. Anti-slip design improves pedestrian safety in public areas such as parks, squares, and pedestrian pathways.

Engineered according to EN124 standards, the Urban Series is available in classes B125, C250, and D400, allowing deployment in diverse traffic environments. For high-traffic roads, reinforced frames ensure consistent performance and prevent cover displacement. Elite’s unique compression molding process guarantees tight bonding of fibers and resin, resulting in uniform strength distribution across the entire structure.

Because FRP is non-conductive and non-sparking, this cover is also suitable for electric and gas utility installations. It can be customized to include locking mechanisms or sealing gaskets to ensure full protection against dust, gas, or odor leakage. Combining beauty with function, Elite’s Urban Series covers contribute to safer, cleaner, and more harmonious city infrastructure systems worldwide.
