Composite Access Products (CAP®) is a leader in creating innovative infrastructure solutions, known for durable and reliable composite manhole covers. With the new Halo™ top riser ring system, CAP® brings the same advantages of their manhole covers to a new problem in road maintenance. The Halo™ makes it easier to raise manhole covers during repaving, adding value to CAP®’s products for the future.
Every 5 to 10 years, municipalities across the country have to repave their busy roads. When this happens, manhole covers must be elevated, which means digging, lifting, hauling, replacing, curing, and waiting all while redirecting traffic. The Halo™ eliminates the need for ALL of that.
The Halo™ Riser Ring System offers superior watertight protection, ensuring no leaks or infiltration into your infrastructure. Built to prevent water from entering, it keeps your systems dry and secure, even in the harshest conditions.
Made from durable composite materials, the Halo™ is highly corrosion-resistant. Unlike metal alternatives, it stands up to the elements, offering long-lasting performance without rust or degradation.
The Halo™ is designed to be easily stackable, allowing you to add additional riser rings during future repaving projects without the need for excavation. This future-proof feature saves $5,000 per manhole, making maintenance more cost-effective and efficient.
Weighing approximately half of what traditional iron riser rings do, the Halo™ is lightweight and easy enough to handle for one worker. With installation that takes minutes, it reduces labor costs and speeds up the project, helping you finish faster and with less effort.
Our CAP® manhole cover and Halo™ Riser Ring System together offer unbeatable long-term value with significant cost benefits. This combo not only cuts down on maintenance costs but also eliminates the need for expensive excavations during future repaving. With easy, stackable adjustments, you’ll save time and money for years to come.
The Halo™ riser ring installs in just minutes, cutting down on road closures and manpower so you can get the job done faster.
Install the alignment brackets into the bottom of the frame extender. Place the extender on the existing manhole frame and align the bolt holes with the stars on the frame.
Use the center punch tool to mark the first drill location. Remove the extender, cover the existing holes with painter’s tape, and drill a 3/8” pilot hole. Expand the hole using a 14mm bit and clean out any debris.
Attach the installation bit to the drill and the self-tapping threaded insert to the bit. Apply epoxy to the external threads of the insert and install it into the drilled hole. Repeat the drilling and insert installation for the remaining three holes.
Clean off all debris, remove the painter’s tape, and place the frame extender back on the manhole frame. Align it and bolt it down securely.
Place the shim inside the frame, aligning the arrows on the shim with the arrows on the frame extender. Bolt the shim down.
Insert the manhole cover, align it, and bolt it down. If necessary, repeat the process to add a second extender and shim. Once aligned, bolt down the final shim and manhole cover.
Ask yourself: would you rather waste time, money, and manpower doing repavings the way you always have or set a new standard for road maintenance projects?
