Product Design
Engineers and design professionals specify gray iron for its many outstanding properties. Gray iron is highly resistant to corrosion, maintains compressive strength, abrasion resistance, vibration absorption, and low-notch sensitivity. It also allows a great deal of design freedom, has a long service life, and is very cost effective.Customer specifications drive our designs. EJIW professionals design castings to best meet specific customer performance criteria. EJIW products are made from the highest quality material, and conform to the requirements established by international standard organizations like ASTM and the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
Prior to production, EJIW casting designs are submitted for customer approval. The latest 3-D solid modeling software speeds the development of new designs, and provides our designers with an idea of how completed castings will look and perform. Customer submittals include product numbers, critical dimensions, weights, material specifications, and load rating information.
The infrastructure is best maintained with modern, efficient casting designs. Frames and rings that nest within each other provide safety and strength advantages. Flow capacity studies suggest that vane grates are best suited to accommodate certain drainage conditions, while grates with narrow openings may be required in areas of pedestrian traffic. Contemporary watertight, bolted, and hinged casting designs provide improved security and are easier to access and service.
Platen designs allow EJIW manhole covers to be lighter and stronger than designs of the past, yet retain the critical dimensions that allow for complete interchangeability with an installed base. Our new cover designs feature recessed tag areas to accommodate custom messages, images, and city seals. “We Cover Your Infrastructure™" with the right casting designs.
