Innovation in public works starts with a commitment to better materials, and at SuperCover, we are leading that charge by replacing outdated iron with high-performance composites. Our mission is to provide cities with the tools they need to protect their assets while ensuring the safety of every worker on the street. By choosing the SuperCover standard, municipalities are moving toward a future where infrastructure is smarter, lighter, and significantly more durable than ever before.
The Essential Guide to Modernizing Infrastructure with Composite Solutions
The Essential Guide to Modernizing Infrastructure with Composite Solutions
Reducing Injuries with Lightweight Composite Technology
The weight of traditional lids is a primary cause of back injuries for utility workers, a problem we solve through lighter materials. Each SuperCover is designed to provide the same strength as cast iron while being significantly easier to lift and maneuver. This reduction in weight allows maintenance crews to work faster and safer, lowering the long-term cost of worker compensation claims.
Stopping I&I to Protect Local Treatment Plants
Infiltration and inflow can cause catastrophic failures in wastewater systems during heavy storms, but our engineering offers a reliable seal. Every SuperCover is built to minimize the entry of rainwater and debris, which prevents the costly over-treatment of clean water. By sealing the system effectively, we help cities maintain environmental compliance and prevent the occurrence of dangerous sanitary sewer overflows.
Deterring Theft with High-Strength Non-Metal Designs
Metal theft remains a persistent issue for urban infrastructure, yet our composite sewer covers offer a simple, permanent solution to this problem. Since our products contain no scrap metal, they hold zero value to thieves, ensuring they remain securely in place on the road. This security feature protects the public from open manholes and saves tax dollars by eliminating the need for constant replacements.
Resisting Corrosion for Decades of Reliable Service
Sewer environments are naturally corrosive, but our composite technology is specifically engineered to withstand hydrogen sulfide gas and harsh chemicals. A SuperCover will not rust or degrade like iron, ensuring that the structural integrity of the lid remains intact for decades. This durability makes our solution the most cost-effective choice for long-term infrastructure planning, as it drastically reduces the frequency of maintenance.
Investing in superior materials is the most effective way to ensure the longevity and safety of your city's wastewater system. At SuperCover, we provide the expertise and the hardware necessary to overcome the common failures of traditional iron sewer covers.
