In this manhole cover replacement project at Jebel Ali Port, Dubai, Infiniferro was selected as the supplier to provide high-performance manhole covers designed to withstand extreme loads and harsh environmental conditions.
Ports are among the busiest and most demanding infrastructure zones in Dubai. With constant movement of heavy vehicles, container trucks, and cargo handling equipment, every component used in port infrastructure must meet the highest standards of strength and safety. One of these critical components is the manhole cover, especially those installed above IT cable duct systems along port roads and waterfront areas.
Infrastructure Challenges in Port Areas
Compared to commercial or residential zones, port areas face much heavier operational demands, such as:
- Continuous traffic of heavy trucks and port equipment
- High load pressure and vibration
- Exposure to seawater, humidity, and corrosive environments
- Protection of critical IT and communication cable systems
Manhole covers installed above IT cable ducts must ensure both structural integrity and long-term reliability, while maintaining safety for vehicles and personnel.
Importance of Manhole Covers for IT Cable Duct Systems
IT cable ducts in port areas are essential for supporting modern port operations, including:
- Communication and data transmission systems
- CCTV and security networks
- Port management and logistics systems
- Smart port and automation infrastructure
To protect these systems, manhole covers must be heavy-duty, precisely engineered, and compliant with international load standards.

Why D400 and F900 Load Classes Matter
Selecting the correct load class is essential in port infrastructure projects:
- D400 is suitable for roads with heavy vehicle traffic
- F900 is specifically designed for extreme load areas such as ports, container terminals, and airports
By using a combination of D400 and F900 manhole covers, the project achieved optimal performance without over-engineering or compromising safety.
