Guide to Access Cover Selection

Specifications for manhole covers and gratings in Ireland’s infrastructure are determined by the National Roads Authority (NRA) and local authority requirements. Reference is made to the European standard EN124 as well as guideline documents such as the Highways Agency’s Design Manual for Roads and Bridges - Chamber Tops and Gully Tops for Road Drainage and Services: Installation and Maintenance HA104. This Advice Note sets out procedures and defines materials which will provide the best possible performance of manhole cover and gully grating installations in trunk roads and motorways. Its recommendations may be applied to other roads and traffic conditions, as appropriate.

General requirements in Ireland

NRA – Series NG500 section 507Safety precautions require that chamber covers have a minimum opening of 600x750mm where personnel may be required to enter completely. In carriageways, hard shoulders and verges chamber covers, frames and gratings should be a minimum of class D400. For further guidance see HA104.

HA104 – Advice NoteThe minimum classification for all chamber tops and gully tops installed in areas of trunk roads and motorways that are likely to be subject to traffic, either directly or indirectly, shall be D400 of BS EN 124.The installation of higher category covers and frames such as E600 should be considered in applications here the chamber is located in the wheel path of a motorway, trunk road or other road carrying over 1,500 commercial vehicles per day in each direction.

Such proposals should be discussed with the overseeing organisation. It should be noted that EN 124 is a minimum performance specification and if there is any doubt, a higher category cover and frame should be selected.

Directions for Management and control of roadworks Cork City Council.Directions for Management and control of roadworks Dublin City Council.

All manhole covers and frames shall be Class D400 to EN124, 150mm deep frame for roads and 100mm deep frame for footways and green areas. They shall be non rock design, have closed keyways, be manufactured from ductile iron or similar approved material and have 600*600mm or 600mm dia opening.Note: Dublin City Council require 600mm diameter opening in a square frame.

Greater Dublin Regional Code of Practice for Drainage works.This applies to Wicklow, Meath, Kildare, Fingal, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Councils and Dublin City Council.

All manhole covers and frames shall comply with EN124, Class D400 (or E600 for heavily trafficked main roads). Manhole covers with paving brick inserts are not accepted on the public drainage system.Specific details for covers shall be agreed with the Local Authority. Generally frames shall be square, with a circular insert of 600mm diameter and a minimum depth of 100mm. Heavily trafficked roads will require a 150mm deep frame.
