For more than a century, cast iron covers, drainage gratings and access solutions have been an essential part of infrastructure project planning.
In recent times, the introduction of composite access products has meant new advantages and levels of choice for industry.
As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of access covers and drainage solutions, EJ is aware of the tough demands of today’s infrastructure projects. By developing high-quality composite products alongside existing cast iron options, EJ can provide tailored solutions that combine the best of both worlds.
In Australia’s challenging climate, access covers need to be built tough to survive. EJ’s best-in-class composite access covers are engineered to be resistant to these harsh conditions and tested to Australian Standards.
High-quality composite access covers are lightweight and anti-corrosive, delivering robust performance and extending the lifespan of assets. Some of the benefits of high-performance composite access covers include:
- Ergonomic design – resulting in lower product weight
- Corrosion resistance – material resistance to corrosion for H2S or other chemicals
- No signal interference – radio frequency (RF) friendly for transfer of signals
- Environmentally friendly – low energy consumption in manufacturing
- Minimal risk of theft – due to no scrap value
- Variety of colour options – colours are permanent and UV resistant
Tried and tested
EJ’s composite access covers follow the same rigorous design and manufacturing processes as its products,
ensuring full compliance with relevant local standards.
The Australian Standard AS3996:2019 sets the industry benchmark for access covers, grates and frames for the Asia Pacific region. Composite products must meet several specified design features and a comprehensive series of tests that must be passed to fully comply with the Standard.
As industry leaders, EJ has commissioned its own research and testing to demonstrate its commitment to the Standard; ensuring all requirements are met. EJ maintains its own NATA Accredited testing facility in Brendale, Queensland and also utilises independent third-party NATA test resources.
