VicRoads Pit Covers

Yes, SVC's VicRoads pit cover offering includes options made from precast concrete or ductile (cast) iron. The material selection depends on the specific VicRoads standard or specification relevant to the project, which is generally dependent on pit size, pit type and load rating requirements.

SVC's dedicated team can assist customers with the supply of the appropriate cover, whether it be precast concrete or ductile iron, to match the required design, ensuring product conformance and project compliance with DTP standards.

Typically, your project plans will specify a VicRoads Standard Drawing reference for the required pit and cover application. Otherwise, other factors that impact the type of cover required are the pit dimensions, pit type (side entry or junction) and load class rating required. The SVC team can assist with providing the correct SVC VicRoads products based on these factors, ensuring you achieve project compliance.

All access covers, grates and manhole covers used in new DTP infrastructure projects must have preapprovals for inclusion in BTN 033.

All SVC VicRoads (DTP) covers relating to BTN 033 applications have received DTP approval, providing peace of mind regarding product conformance and approval for use.

Note: SVC's precast concrete frames and round concrete insert (codes 14.221, 14.223, 16.202, 16.204 and 14.376) are excluded from the BTN 033. These covers are only approved for use to replace existing assets in a like-for-like application.
