Security & Specialist Covers

Security and specialist manhole covers are access covers designed for installations where standard covers do not provide sufficient control, safety or compatibility with the site requirements. These covers are typically specified where access needs to be restricted or where the chamber design falls outside standard dimensions or configurations.

Security covers are used in locations where unauthorised access must be prevented. This includes public areas, schools, commercial premises and infrastructure sites where access to underground services needs to be controlled. These covers often incorporate locking systems or tamper resistant features to secure the lid to the frame.

Specialist covers are used where standard products cannot accommodate the installation. This may include non standard chamber sizes, multi part covers for large openings or covers designed to integrate with specific surface finishes or structural requirements. In these cases, the cover design is selected to suit the layout of the chamber and the conditions on site.

These covers are commonly used across drainage systems, utility networks and civil engineering projects where access must be maintained while meeting additional safety or design requirements.

Selection depends on the clear opening of the chamber, the level of security required and the loading conditions in the surrounding area. Where standard access covers are not suitable, security and specialist covers provide a more controlled and adaptable solution.
