Be Compliance Sure
- Be Civilcast Sure

It’s crucial to be sure the products you're purchasing comply with Australian Standards

Stormwater covers and grates are present on all civil construction works. Used extensively in countless infrastructure projects across the nation, the importance of these types of civil construction products is not to be taken lightly.

When it comes to grates and covers that are utilised for stormwater drainage for roads, it’s easy to be dismissive of the products. After all, people think that they just serve as drainage for water on roads. But that couldn’t be further from the truth, as they also provide a critical function in the safety of roads and also pavement as they need to support large, repetitive loads for both vehicular and also pedestrian traffic.

The selection of civil stormwater and drainage products for Australian roads is very important. If the products are not robust of high-quality and do not comply with Australian Standards, they can fail, leading to injury or even death.

The majority of State Road and Municipal Councils across Australia are vigilant on the correct specification and compliance of their drainage products. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for everyone operating in the civil construction market.

There is currently no regulation of grate and cover product compliance within the civil construction industry.

Therefore, the onus is on road authorities, Councils and other asset owners to ensure that the products selected and utilised are fit-for-purpose and compliant with Australian Standards (AS3996-2019 – Access Covers & Grates).
AS3996 is quite clear in its Classes for products detailing both design loads, wheel loads for each Class.

Products of poor quality, non-compliant and even non-compliant products claiming to be compliant is something that can be seen all too often throughout the Civil Construction industry. Unfortunately, some manufacturers choose to take shortcuts in order to offer cheaper products.

Understanding a quality product and identifying a reliable product brand is crucial to avoid falling victim to non-compliant, poorly made, inferior products offered at cheap prices.
