OPERATING SAFETY

ERGONOMICS

KORUM has been designed for operators who want to provide maintenance agents with safe and easy operating conditions.
KORUM’s design limits efforts to be made during visual inspections and sanitation visits.

Practical and safe manoeuvres thanks to the kneecap

  • Easy manoeuvres: reduction of slack and interstices prevention of manhole cover clogging.
  • Accurate and safe guiding of the cover by the ball joint, at the opening and the closing.
  • Prevention of jamming risks.
  • The durability of KORUM is ensured for a very long period of service: lack of contact between the frame and the ball of KORUM once locked.

Cover security lock open 90°

  • Prevention of any sudden and accidental closure during handling and visits.

Lifting rings integrated into the frame

  • Facilitate the transport of KORUM and its installation on the chimney, in complete safety.

Automatic locking without accessories

  • Without key or screw, the KORUM cover is automatically locked when closed
  • No adjustment or maintenance of the elastic bar, which remains safe and effective, after many cycles of unlocking/locking

Unlocking and opening the cover effortlessly

  • Unlocking the cover with the peak of the pickaxe
  • Reduce effort during handling : opening with pickaxe
  • Significantly reduced physiological constraints : no need to bend over to manoeuvre

 

SECURITY OF THE PUBLIC

HIGH-LEVEL ROBUSTNESS

KORUM is a very robust cover, designed and manufactured to cope with the repeated loads of high traffic. Numerous laboratory and road site tests carried out over a period of several months under demanding traffic conditions have validated a design combining safety of use and longevity. KORUM is built to sustainably resist the flow of cars and trucks in urbanized areas and on major highways. KORUM has an average breaking strength of more than 25% compared to the requirement of EN124, Class D400.


DESIGN INTELLIGENCE

In case of network overloads, the KORUM cover opens up while remaining attached to the frame. Guided precisely by its ball joint, it closes naturally under the effect of its own weight, and re-locks, thanks to the elastic bar, the
passage of the first vehicle.

Ergonomics:

  • Safe and effortless handling thanks to the ball-joint hinge.
  • Effortless unlocking and opening of cover with pickaxe point

Operation:

  • The hinge blocks at 90° when closing and ensures operating safety

Strength:

  • New frame and ribs design prevent the deformation of the KORUM under intense traffic conditions

Stability:

  • The spring locking mechanism under constant tension locks the KORUM cover in place in its frame
    in complete safety.
