Our Premium Product Range
High-Performance Castings for Modern Infrastructure
At Edcons (MKS) Castings PVT LTD, we understand that municipal infrastructure requires components capable of enduring heavy vehicular traffic, extreme weather conditions, and decades of continuous wear. Our municipal castings are engineered with precise metallurgical control to deliver maximum structural integrity and public safety.
Material Grades & Manufacturing Excellence
We manufacture our municipal range using top-tier materials tailored to your specific load and durability requirements:
- Ductile Iron (Spheroidal Graphite Iron): Offers superior tensile strength, high impact resistance, and elongation properties. Ideal for heavy duty highway manhole covers and high-traffic drainage grates where failure is not an option.
- Grey Cast Iron: Known for its excellent compressive strength, vibration-damping qualities, and long-term corrosion resistance. Perfect for standard utility applications, tree grates, and pedestrian zones.
International Quality & Load Standards
Our products are rigorously designed, manufactured, and tested to comply with global engineering benchmarks, ensuring seamless integration into international infrastructure projects:
- EN 124 Compliance: We manufacture castings across all load classes—from A15 (pedestrian areas) up to F900 (airports, docks, and extra heavy-duty traffic).
- Anti-Theft & Safety Features: Available with integrated locking systems, custom hinge designs, and high-skid resistance patterns to ensure public safety and prevent vandalism.
- Corrosion Protection: Finished with high-quality black bitumen paint, epoxy coating, or customized finishes based on regional environmental requirements.
Why Partner with Edcons for Municipal Projects?
- Custom Engineering: Capability to cast custom logos, city emblems, or specific utility markings (e.g., “SEWER”, “WATER”, “STORM”) directly onto the covers.
- Rigorous Testing: Every batch undergoes strict load testing, micro-structure analysis, and dimensional verification in our in-house laboratory.
- Global Supply Chain: Decades of experience handling large-scale municipal contract exports worldwide with reliable, on-time delivery.
INSTALLATIONS
Gully tops and manhole tops are divided into following classes A15, B125, C250, D 400, E600 and F 900
PLACE OF INSTALLATION
The appropriate class of manhole top or gully top to be used depends upon the place of installation. The various places of installation have been divided into groups numbered 1 to 6, as listed above.
The diagram above shows the location of some of these groups in a highway environment. A guide as to which class of manhole top or gully top should be used is shown in parentheses for each group.
The selection of the appropriate class is the responsibility of the designer. Where there is any doubt, the strong class should be selected.
- GROUP 1 (MIN. CLASS. A15): Area ca only be used by pedestrians and pedal cyclist.
- Group 2 (MIN CLASS B 125): Foot ways, pedestrians areas and comparable area, car parks or car parking decks.
- GROUP 3 MIN. CLASS C250): For gully tops installed in the area of kerosine channels or roads which when measured from the kerb edge, extended a maximum of 0.5m in to the carriage way and a maximum of 0.2m in to the foot way.
- GROUP 4 (MIN. CLASS D 400): Carriage ways of roads including pedestrian streets hard shoulders and parking areas, for all types of road vehicles.
- GROUP 4 (MIN. CLASS E600): Area imposing high wheel loads, eg. docks, aircraft pavements.
- GROUP 6 (MIN. CLASS F 900): Area Imposing particularly high wheel loads, eg Aircraft pavements.
