Product Description

FRP Heavy-Duty Airport Cover – Engineered for Extreme Load and Safety

Airports demand products capable of handling heavy dynamic loads from aircraft and service vehicles. Elite’s FRP Heavy-Duty Airport Cover was engineered specifically for such demanding conditions, offering high load capacity and unmatched stability with a lightweight composite structure.

Made from aerospace-grade fiberglass composites, this cover combines superior flexural strength with anti-fatigue performance. It endures repeated load cycles without cracking or deformation. The product is available up to EN124 Class F900, suitable for airport aprons, taxiways, and service routes.

Elite’s compression molding process ensures dense fiber distribution and accurate geometry, resulting in high dimensional stability. The non-metallic construction eliminates the risk of sparks, making it ideal for fuel-handling zones. The surface features a high-friction texture for anti-slip safety, even under oil or rain exposure.

Each cover can include hinge systems, locking mechanisms, or anti-vibration gaskets depending on the installation site. Optional color coding helps maintenance teams identify different service zones such as fuel, water, or electrical chambers.

With its long service life, zero corrosion, and superior mechanical reliability, Elite’s heavy-duty FRP airport cover provides a modern, eco-friendly replacement for traditional steel or cast iron. It reduces maintenance downtime and enhances overall safety for critical aviation infrastructure.

Applications and Industry Solutions

Elite’s composite manhole covers have been widely adopted in a broad range of industries and public works projects around the world.

1. Urban Infrastructure

Municipalities increasingly favor composite covers for sidewalks, residential areas, and stormwater systems. Their lightweight nature allows faster installation while their anti-slip surface ensures pedestrian safety.

2. Transportation Networks

For highways and airports, Elite offers heavy-duty models that meet D400 or E600 load classes. These covers maintain structural integrity even under constant vehicular impact, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.

3. Utilities and Telecommunications

In electrical substations, fiber-optic systems, and power distribution facilities, non-conductive FRP covers eliminate electrical hazards and signal interference.

4. Water Management

FRP covers are immune to corrosion caused by water, sewage, or industrial waste, making them perfect for drainage systems, wastewater plants, and desalination projects.

5. Industrial Sites

Chemical factories, oil refineries, and port facilities benefit from the material’s resistance to acids, alkalis, and heavy loads.

6. Custom Applications

Elite also produces special covers for landscaping, gardens, and urban design projects, where color and surface texture can be tailored to aesthetic requirements.

Across all these sectors, Elite’s SMC/FRP covers deliver unmatched performance and long-term reliability — providing engineers and contractors with a versatile and cost-effective solution.
