Wastewater and Drainage

Manhole covers and gully tops

BSI offers a wide variety of Kitemark schemes and testing for a range of drainage products for the collection and conveyance of wastewater.

Manhole covers and gully tops with a clear opening up to and including 1000mm for installations within areas subjected to pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic, are rigorously tested for materials, design, construction, function, dimensions and marking.

The Kitemark scheme that is available for these products is accepted by the Highways Agency in Volume 1 – Appendix B of the Specification for Highway Works.
