A512

Between A42 and M1, Leicestershire

These photos show a series of manhole covers through double bends on an unrestricted section of road near the Bulls Head at Thringstone.

Do you know a suitable treatment for the existing metal inspection covers that will last longer than a few months? If so please contact me!

Existing covers, no. Saint Gobain (Stainton Metals) have been working on treatment for covers and have just delivered about 100 to Bristol City Council for a major shopping centre re-development. It shouldn't be beyond the wit of man to supply replacement covers for the bend you're talking about.

I will check the protocol to go through with the utilities. There could be a big difference between suitability for a shopping centre and a 60mph A road.
