LOAD CLASS SELECTION
Jaybro supply to the Australian Standard for Access Covers and Grates, AS3996. The standard sets a series of load classifications for products based on the anticipated load. These classes range from extra light duty (Class A) through to extra heavy duty – G (Class G). Below is a summary of the load classifications, including areas for their intended use.
Areas (including footways), accessible only to pedestrians and pedal cyclists and closed to other traffic (extra-light duty).
Areas (including footways and light tractor paths) accessible to vehicles (excluding commercial vehicles) or livestock (light duty).
Malls and pedestrian areas open to slow moving
– F).
1. Nominal wheel loads are given as a guide only. Consideration should be given to the type, size and pneumatic pressure of the load applied.
2. Class B design loads exceed AS5100.2 requirements for footway loading.
3. Class D design loads exceed AS5100.2 requirements for a W80 wheel load.
4. Class C loads are based on an intermediate load.
5. The serviceability load is set at 2/3 of the ultimate limit state design load.
6. A force of 1kN approximately equal to 100kg.

What Makes MEA Drainage Solution Materials Exceptional
POLYMER CONCRETE
Polymer concrete is a high-performance material known for its excellent physical and chemical properties. It is robust yet significantly lighter than traditional concrete, offering superior handling and installation advantages. One of its key benefits is its resistance to chemical fluids, making it ideal for environments with corrosive materials.
GLASS-FIBRE REINFORCED COMPOSITE (GRP)
GRP is widely used in high-performance industries such as aerospace, automotive, and motorsports due to its exceptional mechanical properties. MEA uses SMC technology (Sheet Molding Compound) — a carefully engineered composite of resin, mineral fillers, additives, and glass fibre mats.
This technology results in GRP with maximum strength and dimensional stability. It maintains its shape under extreme temperature fluctuations, with minimal linear expansion. Unlike thermoplastics, once cured, GRP is rigid and permanently stable, ensuring long-term performance and durability in demanding drainage applications.
