CAP helped solve two problems that plagued Fort Worth: 1) Safety concerns about lifting heavy iron covers, 2) Theft of manhole covers for scrap content. CAP solves both these issues. CAPs are half the weight which reduce back, toe and finger injuries - thus workman's comp costs. Also, CAPs elminate the root cause of theft - scrap iron. There is no market for composite scrap so thieves will not be rewarded. This eliminates manholes without covers which are hazardous to ourselves, our children, and our vehicles.
The city could not open many covers - frequently stuck covers convinced the city to go to composites.
In a comprehensive review of four different composite options, Chandler engineers reveal quality differences.
CAP covers were chosen among all the composites presented and continue to satisfy Chandler today.
Jumping off distinct CAP composite media: tactility & texture reminiscent of the expressionistic brushstroke. The Manasquan River Regional Sewerage Authority (MRRSA), NJ utility will prevent sewer spillovers with watertight CAPs, and nurture aquatic populations like their treasured sea run brown trout.
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) designates the Standard Specification for Drainage, Sewer, Utility, and Related Castings - M 306-10. Section 6 of this standard details the Proof-Load Testing.
"H-20" and "H-25" certification methods use 40,000 lb and 50,000 lb loads, respectively, on a 9x9 platen for 1 minute. After releasing, permanent deformation cannot exceed 0.125 inches. CAP's cover with a 32-inch span deformed less than 0.02 inches after a 50,000 lb load (H-25).
While our certification testing is with a third-party laboratory, CAP has the capability to test in-house for development and quality inspections.
Minor wear to surface, but overall integrity maintained.
Material did not corrode or degrade.
Because of the dramatic H-25 result, CAP decided to discover where the product would reach failure. Our CAP ONE 30, with a 32 inch span, reached 116,000 lbs of force on a 9-inch x 9-inch platen. This is like stacking more than two tractor trailers on top of each other and standing the bottom truck on one tire!

Corrosion drove the Harlingen Waterworks System (HWWS) team to a composite solution.
HWWS first tried a composite import that presented several problems.
CAP's thicker frame walls, larger flanges, thicker cover, and overall better design satisfied HWWS.
Since CAP began installing demonstration and production order pieces, we no longer have photos of most locations. For a more detailed list of references, contact us for our submission package.
