Established in 1946, the ACO Group has manufactured products for the construction industry for over 50 years and
operates on a global basis through its subsidiaries and manufacturing facilities. ACO is an acknowledged innovator in
products manufactured from ductile iron,
polymer concrete and other corrosion resistant materials.
ACO employs more than 3,500 people in 40 countries, has sales in excess of $610 million and
31 production sites in thirtheen countries.
Cast iron
Grey cast iron is an alloy mainly consisting of iron, carbon and silicon. It is made by re-melting pig iron, scrap iron or scrap steel at a melting
temperature usually ranging from 1.150 to 1.200 C. Depending on the application, carbon and silicon content is from 2 to 3.5% and 1 to 3%
respectively. Other alloying elements are then added to the melt before poured into moulds to produce castings.
Ductile iron
Ductile Iron is a cast iron alloy in which the graphite is in the form of spherical nodules rather than flakes as in grey cast iron. The formation of
nodules is achieved by addition of nodulizing elements, most commonly magnesium, into the melt and allows the carbon to separate as spheroidal
particles as the material solidifies..
Standardization
The official standards - design and test principles as well as dimensional standards - form the basis of development and
design in drainage technology.
Gully tops, bridge drains, gratings and manhole covers are part of traffic surfaces. It follows that traffic safety calls for rules, which have to be
complied with by drainage components wherever they are fitted. Here, not only the static, but equally the dynamic load is of importance, based on
2 the magnitude and number of load changes as a result of traffic stresses. The performance requirements determine the design.
Gully tops, bridge drains, gratings and manhole covers are safe from the traffic aspect, provided they fulfil fully standard conformity and conform to
defined design features. These are, among others, execution of contact surfaces, the frame bearing area and weight (mass) and a traffic-safe fixing
locking device to secure cover/grating in frames.
Decades of knowhow and experience are reflected by the according standards.
We have developed the traditional locations in Kaiserslautern and Aarbergen into high-tech production sites enjoying a high level of competitiveness in
the international markets. The Michelbacher Huette in Aarbergen is one of Germanys oldest foundries, with a history going back to 1652.

The bearing area is the surface of the underside of a frame which rests
upon the supporting structure.
According to EN 124 the bearing pressure shall be less than 7,5 N/mm.
The bearing pressure is the ratio of the test load to the bearing area.
Even though the calculated bearing pressure of a frame fulfils the
standard requirements, the maximum values of certain frame designs of
competitors largely exceed the threshold value of 7,5 N/mm.
In practice, this peak load damages the supporting structure of the
frame, e.g. mortar bedding, shaft top; and the manhole top looses
stability. The consequences are that not only the frame but also the shaft
top have to be refurbished or replaced.
ACO frames of manhole tops are therefore designed in such a way to
protect shaft and road construction.
For all ACO frame types, Fix, Lift and Bituplan, applies that not only the
calculated bearing area, but especially the load peaks of the bearing
pressure are much lower than the minimum requirement of 7,5 N/mm.
That means less stress for the supporting 85 % 15 % 100 %
structure and a high stability of the manhole top.

MULTI - PART SOLID TOP DUCTILE IRON ACCESS COVER & FRAMES, CLASS B 125 to D 400
Covers do not need to be of the same width, provided each row has covers of the same length and load class.
All covers and beams can be removed to allow full uninterrupted access or single covers can be
removed to provide access to specific areas.
Common applications include container ports, airport pavements, lift motor room floors, and where access to large
industrial equipment, large electrical pits, pump wells, and transformers is required.
These systems contain individual covers that are designed and manufactured in full compliance with the requirements of
EN 124 Metal Access Covers and Grates.
The products in this table provide information on the common multipart sizes. Multiparts are available in numerous
configurations and different cover sizes can be combined to create a clear opening to suit almost any requirement.
Due to the endless range of sizes available, ACO will design the multipart closest to your requirements free of charge
and obligation.
