Frame grates are used on catch basins with an open top. Typically, a slotted or perforated metal grate is set into the top of the drop inlet to bring it to ground level to allow water to enter into the structure.
During a heavy rain storm, water drains from the surface area into the grate openings of the drop inlet.
Covers are used on manholes, septic tanks, cisterns, pump stations, or any structure that requires access but must be enclosed (for safety, to control odor, etc.)
Cover options
- Ability to be bolted down
- Water-tightness
- Bicycle proof
- H20 Load Rated

About the Author:
My father started the Andrew J. Foss, Inc. precast concrete company in 1963 at the age of 19. My precast education started at a very young age. He taught me everything I know about creating quality precast concrete products, from septic tanks to concrete headwalls. He also taught me to succeed in business you need to offer an exceptional product and treat your customers as you would expect to be treated. Now, as an owner of the company along with my brother Matthew, we've taken everything we've learned from our father to start the next generation of our family-owned precast concrete company.
