Ductile Iron EN124 C250 Cover and Frame
This Ductile Iron Cover and Frame is designed for use in areas subject to light to medium vehicle traffic. It provides secure access to underground services in commercial and shared-use environments. Manufactured from ductile iron, the assembly is intended for installation at C250 load class locations in accordance with BS EN 124. As a C250 Cover and Frame, it is suitable where pedestrian-only ratings are insufficient but full highway ratings are not required.
Key design features
The cover and frame are supplied as a matched assembly to support stable seating once installed. The frame profile is intended to provide consistent load transfer into the surrounding bedding material. Ductile iron construction offers predictable behaviour under repeated loading conditions.
