A challenge in the twenties. Still challenging today.

Gatic’s involvement with gas air-tight inspection covers spans nearly 100 years

In fact, one of the earliest covers produced by the company (then known as Dover Engineering) is still in service at a Shell garage in Malta, where it was first installed in 1928.

Original 1928 cover still in use

When we were asked to design our first gas and air tight cover for Shell, back in the 1920s, it was to a demanding specification. Our success in meeting this specification can be judged by the fact that one of the first covers supplied can still be seen in use at a Shell garage in Malta where it was originally installed.

With a history of installations dating back to 1928, Gatic is without doubt the fully proven International Standard for engineered access covers and drainage gratings.

Continuous development and refinement

Since that first success we have continued to improve and adapt our range of products to suit the ever increasing and diverse demands of travel, industry and commerce, developing ductile iron, machined access covers in a range of surface finishes and load ratings to cope with the harshest and most punishing of environments.

Gatic is part of the AWMS family

Future challenges

Despite this huge variety, technology never stands still for long and we are never allowed to rest on our laurels. These days more and more traffic is using our roads, carrying heavier loads at higher speeds. Huge numbers of containers pass through our ports daily and ever bigger and heavier aircraft are rolling down the taxiways and across the aprons of the airports we serve.

The challenges may be daunting but we are confident that we will continue to rise to the occasion and supply products to meet or exceed our customers demands.

Alumasc (AWMS) is a UK-based supplier of premium building products. The majority of the group’s business is focussed on sustainable building products that enable customers to manage energy and water use in the built environment.

They include: Skyline Architectural Aluminium; Alumasc Rainwater Gutters & Downpipes; Harmer Building Drainage; Wade Building Drainage and Gatic Drainage & Engineered Access Covers.

Solid top anti-slip surface

High performance covers that are lighter in weight than those incorporating concrete infill. Solid top covers incorporate a non-slip lozenge pattern on the surface. NOTE: Covers are also available for Pavior infill.

Using this brochure

Gatic covers have been created to suit the widest range of applications and to meet different loading requirements, from relatively light loads (eg, pedestrian areas and residential roads) to the most heavy (eg, airports, dockyards, etc).

BS EN 124: classifies covers according to their place of installation as shown below. Where there is any doubt, the stronger class should be selected.

Did you know?

Our products are manufactured from 100 per cent ductile iron, giving high elasticity, which means Gatic covers and frames are highly resistant to physical forces and shock.

Gatic covers comprise ductile iron and structural steel components, all of which are recyclable.

Data from BS EN 124: (Gully tops and manhole tops for vehicular and pedestrian areas. Design requirements, type testing, marking, quality control) The covers in our brochure are organised according to the BS EN 124 classifications. Please refer to the Loading Group Selector Guide on pages 10-11.

Concrete infill recessed covers

Recessed covers are designed for filling with concrete as specified in BS EN 124 - 45 N/mm 2 for a test cube of 150mm, or a 40N/mm2 for a test cylinder 150mm diameter x 300mm high, using a 10mm down coarse aggregate.

Anti-slip surface covers

Concrete infill covers provide a non-slip surface similar to the surrounding areas. Solid top covers incorporate a lozenge pattern on the surface.

Materials

The components of Gatic covers are manufactured from the following materials:

Ductile iron components to BS EN 1563

Structural steel sections (removable beams) to BS EN 10365.

Fine tolerances

The seating faces of Gatic covers and frames are machined to ensure metal-to-metal contact within 0.25mm tolerance.

Non-rocking

Correctly installed, Gatic covers will be non-rocking and sealed against ingress of road dirt and other detritus.

Gas, Air & Watertight

A film of graphite grease between the contact faces of Gatic units provides a gas and air & water tight seal, and a watertight joint under normal rainwater conditions.

Pressure-tight

Standard single units with locking screws and holding-down bolts are available to withstand upward pressure. Consult our technical department for details.

Easy removal/replacement

The machined underside seating face of Gatic covers allows the sliding out of covers for easy removal or replacement

Operator control

Jack screw operating keys locate positively and securely into Gatic covers and are a necessary tool if the inherent cover seal is to be broken effectively and to allow operator maximum control during operation.

Secure and vandal resistant

Covers are designed to prevent tampering and unauthorised removal. Gatic covers cannot be removed without the correct lifting key, so unauthorised removal is virtually impossible. Locking bolts can be fitted to Gatic cover as an additional security feature.

Ventilation

Ventilation can be provided with four 25mm diameter ventilation tubes in recessed covers.

Locking/ventilated

Vibration resistant

For covers in high density traffic conditions, we recommend the use of a factory-fitted vibration-resistant locking system to the recessed covers.

Closed keyways

Gatic cover keyways are closed and fitted with plastic plugs to prevent them from blocking up

Features and benefits
