EJ’s innovative composite access covers are engineered and tested to Australian Standards, for harsh, challenging conditions. High-quality composite access covers are lightweight and anti-corrosive, which provides new advantages and a fresh level of choice for project managers of utilities and municipalities, engineers and designers.
Why use composite access covers?
High-performance composite access covers are a relatively new arrival in the Australian market and come with many key benefits that make them a valuable solution across the board, and allows them to meet the specific needs of certain industry sectors, including:
- 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
Testing
The Australian Standard AS3996:2019 sets the industry benchmark for access covers, grates and frames for the Asia Pacific region.
Composite products must meet a number of specified design features and a comprehensive series of tests that must be passed to fully comply with the Standard.
As an industry leader, EJ has commissioned its own research and testing to demonstrate its commitment to the Standard, ensuring that all requirements are met.
The company maintains its own NATA Accredited testing facility in Brendale, Queensland and also utilises independent third party NATA test resources.
