SAFETY AS STANDARD
SmartGrip TechnologyTM has been designed by Eccles to improve road safety,
featuring as standard on our entire range of access covers and frames.
¿qué es smartgrip?
SmartGrip TechnologyTM es una placa superior con un patrón asimétrico en relieve para la gama de cubiertas y marcos de acceso de Eccles.
Ha sido diseñado con una alta micro textura multidireccional para mejorar la estabilidad contra el aquaplaning.
La microtextura se refiere a la textura a pequeña escala de la parte superior del dibujo en relieve (que controla el contacto entre la goma del neumático y la superficie de la cubierta de acceso).
La macrotextura se refiere a la textura a gran escala de la placa de cubierta en su conjunto, debido a la disposición del patrón en relieve.
- INCREASES TRACTION AND CONTACT GRIP
- ENHANCES STABILITY
- PREVENTS AQUAPLANING
- IMPROVES SAFETY FOR ALL ROAD USERS
ENHANCED SKID RESISTANCE
After significant research with our partnered European University, the raised pattern on our SmartGrip TechnologyTM has now been significantly enhanced to provide as standard an enhanced skid resistance exceeding the minimum requirements for high-risk areas of > 0.83kN as specified in DMRB CD534 V 0.1.0 (table 2.6).
The testing process adheres to the procedure outlined in the National Highways’ Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), as well as the Technical Regulation CD 534 v0.1.0, formally known as Volume 4, Part 5, HA104/09, sub-section 3.4, which details the information pertinent for applications in road safety and infrastructure projects.
INCLUDED ACROSS OUR WHOLE PRODUCT RANGE
Road safety is a critical consideration for us that’s why SmartGrip TechnologyTM features as standard across our entire product range.
This includes solid top ductile iron and composite access covers, surface boxes and bridge drainage solutions.
