INTRODUCTION TO MARRO COVERS

Permanent manhole covers are not installed until towards the end of the construction period, to avoid damage and allow setting to final levels.

In the interim period there is a void presenting a hazard to site personnel and vehicles. Current practice is to cover these voids with pallets, sheets of plywood, or heavy metal plates which can be dislodged or damaged by site traffic, creating obvious hazards.



The Marro cover has been designed to solve this problem.


ADVANTAGES OF MARRO COVER

• Lightweight and easily lifted and installed by a single person
