TCR Engineering is proud to announce that its state-of-the-art laboratory located in Mahape, Navi Mumbai now offers comprehensive testing of manhole covers and gully tops in full compliance with EN 124 Part 5, including associated requirements from EN 124 Part 1.
Our laboratory is fully equipped to test cast iron, composite, and other materials for use in access covers and frames across all load-bearing classes (A15 to F900) as defined under BS EN 124.
Scope of Testing Services:
We perform the following BS EN 124-compliant tests at our facility:
Deflection Under Load Standard: BS EN 124-5 Measures the displacement of the cover under a specific test load.
Test Load Bearing Capacity Standard: BS EN 124-1 Annex B Determines the strength of the sample under static loading conditions.
Tilt Test Standard: BS EN 124-1 Annex D Checks stability and proper seating of the manhole/gully top under tilt conditions.
Permanent Set Test Standard: BS EN 124-1 Annex A Evaluates any permanent deformation after loading.
Resistance to Fatigue Test Standard: BS EN 124-5 Conducted in Compression–Compression mode at room temperature, with a load application rate of 70±20 kN/s.
Up to 100,000 cycles or until fracture, whichever occurs first.
Additional cycles (every 10,000) are available at extra charge.
Customers must supply the Fatigue Test Assembly (cover plus frame).
Capacity:
Fatigue testing of manhole/gully tops up to 900 mm diameter is available.
All samples must comply with the preparation requirements of BS EN 124 Part 1 & 5.
