CAP's President, Chad Nunnery, will be presenting the new CAP ONE - 36 product at the annual CAMX, November 1st, CAP's "beast" - 41 inch H-25 (highest US vehicle traffic rating), watertight, composite manhole cover has been named "Finalist" for an Award for Composites Excellence by the American Composite Manufacturers Association. Winners will be announced Tuesday, October 31st.
OCSAN, one of the largest sanitation municipalities in the USA announced October 2023 that CAP's 36 inch and 24 inch covers won their annual bid for composite covers.
A leading resin supplier featured CAP's 36 inch cover in their quarterly product newsletter because of the rare properties and challenging dimensions for the processes used. https://aocresins.com/en-amr/case-histories/20230302-cap-access-covers-test-to-new-levels-of-resistance-from-above-and-below/
CAP's newest cover boasts a 41 " diameter, and 2 inches of thickness. CAP, once again, makes the "tank" of the composite manhole covers. Lighter than iron, but still rugged. H-25 traffic rating!
Longer flanges, thicker walls, twice the frame ledge, and more than 3x the materials used, CAP gives confidence that this is a "real" manhole cover. The CAP ONE -36 frame gives 36 inches of opening.
Submerged in 15 inches of water, overnight, with 0.00 gpm through the cover & frame. Perhaps the only 36-inch clear-opening, watertight cover with accessories included standard.
With 11.4 million subscribers, the YouTube sensation, "Demolition Ranch," featured the giant CAP ONE -36,which stopped bullets shot from a 9mm, .57, .58, shotgun slug, .556, and even a .308. Finally the CAP met its match when they shot at it with a 50 BMG. Though a ballistics test does not correlate to street conditions (we hope!), the video was a lot of fun and gained over 1.3 million views.
Many utility directors believe bolted covers require a lot of time for crews to open and close. Thus, municipalities sometimes shy away from putting bolted covers in streets. However, this idea is based on their experience with iron covers. CAP bolted covers are easy to bolt, unbolt, align the cover holes with the frame threads, and then close the cover. The tool CAP sells called the CAP CLAW helps crews get in an out of traffic quickly...even with a 41 inch cover!
UTRGV performed a cyclic loading of mostly 40,000 lb repeated hits with a 9"x9" platen. This was an error as the test protocol only required 20,000 lb repeated loads. Still CAP passed the subsequent Proof Load test with flying colors. As a bonus, CAP's deflection under load was 1/5th to 1/10th of our competitors' 36-inch clear opening cover.
The only 3rd Party certified watertight cover with a 36 inch clear opening and only four bolts...watch this video showing the CAP after sitting for a day with about 9 inches of water above the cover. 0.0 gallons per minute with such a large circumference! The water is so still you can see the reflection looking up at the surface.
