Learn about KORUM, the D400 roadway manhole cover for periodical inspections and heavy traffic.
Quality and conformity
Certifications
- KORUM holds NF 110 certification issued by AFNOR.
- It benefits from the FDES Environmental and Declaration Form covering PAM roadway products, available on the INIES database and in compliance with standards NF EN ISO 14025 and NF EN 15804+A1 and the French national complement XP P01-064/CN. The FDES has been checked by an independent third party.
Product marking and personalization
KORUM can be supplied with markings (mains drainage, storm drainage, etc.) and personalization (logo of a water supply and treatment body, town crest, etc.). To ensure safety, the cover features all the validated customer markings when it leaves the foundry. There are no added, screwed, bonded or welded markings. The product is fully complete, safe and in conformity with EN 124.
Operating safety
Ergonomics
KORUM is fully suited to periodical inspections and designed for operators who attach great importance to ensuring that the maintenance agents can work under safe, simple conditions. KORUM is designed to limit the efforts required during visual inspections and access to mains drainage systems. The most appropriate tool for removing and inserting it is a pick.
- Handy and safe to handle thanks to the fitting
- Easy to handle: reduced clearances and gaps, prevention of cover fouling
- Precise, safe guiding of the cover by the fitting, during removal and insertion
- Prevention of the risks of getting fingers caught
- KORUM’s design ensures a very long service life: no contact between the KORUM fitting and frame once the cover is locked in place
- Safety locking of the cover when opened at 90° to prevent any sudden or accidental closing during handling and inspections
- Lifting rings integrated in the frame facilitate transport of KORUM and its placing on a manhole, in full safety
- Automatic locking without any accessories: no need for keys or screws, the KORUM cover is locked in place automatically by a flexible bar when it is closed
- The flexible bar does not require any adjustment or maintenance; it remains safe and efficient, even after many releasing and locking cycles
- Effortless release and removal of the cover
- The cover is released using the sharp end of a pick
- Reduced levels of effort during handling: opened using the flat end of a pick
- Physiological constraints significantly reduced: no need to bend over when releasing or locking the cover
Public safety
High levels of sturdiness
KORUM is a very sturdy manhole cover, designed and manufactured to stand up to the repeated stresses of heavy traffic. Tested during its design phase on the carrousel at our research centre and then on roads, KORUM showed its sturdiness, validating the constancy of its performance levels over time. KORUM is made to stand up to large numbers of cars and trucks in urban areas and on major roads, for a very long time.

Ease of placing
Stability of its contact surface with manhole shafts
The wide circular base of the frame features bosses that are designed to enhance its bearing capacity, provide extra contact surfaces on all types of shafts and hence suit various placing conditions.
Optimization of the grouting conditions
The frame design multiplies the anchoring points to enhance strength under mechanical stresses.
- Frame with wide grouting gaps: full integration of the frame in mortar, concrete or grouting product, installation under the usual site conditions
- Lifting rings: extra anchoring points, enhancement of the monolithic effect of the unit formed by the frame, its grouting and the shaft
The discontinuous base geometry and the eccentricity of the gaps limit the risks of shearing of the grouting that could occur under high levels of mechanical stresses.
