Project Description

Bandhan - FRP Man Hole Cover

Bandhan FRP — Lightweight • Corrosion-resistant • Load-rated • Theft-proof

Bandhan FRP Man Hole Covers are high-performance composite access covers engineered for modern infrastructure — offering excellent strength, long life in corrosive environments, and drastically reduced handling weight compared with traditional metal covers.

Bandhan FRP Man Hole Covers are manufactured from high-strength fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) resins and glass fibres using precision moulding techniques. Designed for municipal, industrial and commercial projects, these composite covers combine a superior strength-to-weight ratio with excellent chemical and UV resistance — making them an ideal modern alternative to cast iron and concrete access covers.

Features & Benefits

What Makes Our UPVC Pipes and Fittings Best

Corrosion & chemical resistant — ideal for sewage, stormwater, industrial and coastal locations where cast-iron corrodes.
Lightweight & ergonomic — easy to lift and install with minimal manpower (reduces installation time and health risk).
Non-conductive & low noise — FRP is electrically insulating and quieter under traffic vs. metal.
Theft-proof & low lifecycle cost — no scrap value, lower transport/installation costs, and minimal maintenance.

Faqs

What is an FRP manhole cover?

An FRP (Fibre-Reinforced Polymer) manhole cover is a composite access cover made from glass fibre and resin. It combines high strength with low weight and excellent resistance to corrosion and chemicals.

FRP covers are engineered to meet standard load classes (A15 to D400 and above) and can match required performance in most pedestrian, commercial and many vehicular areas. Cast iron remains superior for some extreme heavy-duty applications; Bandhan offers D400 and higher rated FRP solutions for robust use-cases.

No — FRP is inherently corrosion-resistant and performs well in sewage, coastal and chemical environments where metal covers would corrode.

Depending on size and load class, FRP covers typically weigh between 15–25% (or less) of equivalent cast-iron covers — significantly easing manual handling and transport. Exact savings depend on design and materials.

FRP covers have negligible scrap value, and with lockable designs they are effectively theft-resistant compared to metal covers.
