Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from manhole covers in Ajax
Frames sit flush
A manhole frame that sits high becomes a plow and tire strike; one that sits low collects water. Frame elevation is set to the finished surface.
Lifting points remain usable
Pick holes, lifting slots, and section weights matter because crews need to open the cover repeatedly. Covers should not require destructive prying.
Concrete ring repaired
Loose frames usually point to failed concrete or asphalt around the manhole. Repair includes the support ring, not just a new lid.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
Your manhole covers is supported by Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
