Grating and manhole cover products listed
Experience · Capacity · Projects · Certification · Custom Work
A grating cover sits in the ground for decades, often under traffic. A cover that cracks, rocks or rusts becomes a safety hazard and an expensive repair. That is why the maker’s experience, testing and project record matter as much as the price. Here is what each supplier brings, and the buyer it suits best.
Riyadh Foundry Co.
One of the longest-running foundries in the Kingdom, Riyadh Foundry has been casting drainage and access products since 1976.
Best choice if: you need large quantities of heavy-duty iron covers and gratings for roads, utilities or municipal drainage.
Saudi Pipe Systems (SPS)
SPS supplies complete water and drainage packages, so grating and manhole covers can come on the same order as the pipes, valves and fittings.
Best choice if: you are in Jeddah or the Western Region, or want covers supplied together with a pipe and valve package.
Al Kharj United Company (UKC Foundry)
UKC Foundry focuses on infrastructure castings for streets, landscaping and utilities.
Best choice if: you need landscaping and streetscape castings such as tree and gully grates, or custom cast designs.
Ousus Steel Factory
Ousus fabricates steel products to size, which suits openings that standard cast covers do not fit.
Best choice if: you need fabricated steel trench covers or grating panels in non-standard sizes for a plant or warehouse.
Assaf Industry Company
Assaf is a stainless steel and architectural metal specialist with large-project credentials.
Best choice if: you need stainless steel grating covers for kitchens, hotels, malls, pools or visible architectural drainage, with installation.
Riyadh · Jeddah · Al Kharj · Manufacturers
You can buy grating covers directly from the manufacturers on this page. Four are in or near Riyadh (Riyadh Foundry, Assaf Industry, Ousus Steel and UKC Foundry’s office) and one is in Jeddah (SPS, with a Riyadh distributor). Buying from the maker gets you the correct load rating, matching frames and the option of custom sizes.
Pick the supplier by material. Iron covers and gully grates for roads come from the foundries (Riyadh Foundry, SPS, UKC). Steel and stainless grating covers for plants, kitchens and buildings come from the fabricators (Ousus, Assaf). Small, light tank covers are also sold by building-material shops, but those are not suitable for vehicle traffic.

Foundries · Fabricators · Manufacturers
All five suppliers on this page manufacture what they sell, rather than reselling imports. They fall into two groups:
Foundries pour molten iron into moulds to make cast and ductile iron covers, gully grates and channel grates: Riyadh Foundry (since 1976, 1,500+ tons a month), SPS (Jeddah) and UKC Foundry (Al Kharj). Fabricators cut and weld steel or stainless steel bars into grating panels and covers: Ousus Steel and Assaf Industry. Foundries suit roads and drainage networks; fabricators suit trenches, plants, kitchens and architectural work.
Manhole Covers · Load Rated · Frames
For manhole covers and frames, the three foundries are the main sources. Riyadh Foundry lists 40-ton square, round and rectangular covers (MC-037 DI, MC-100 R DI, MC-315 DI) and a 12.5-ton medium-duty cover. SPS makes cast iron covers from 700 × 700 mm (35 ton) to 1000 × 1000 mm (15 ton) to BS 497. UKC Foundry lists a 40-ton cover with a mild steel angle frame, telecom covers and water meter boxes.
Give the supplier the clear opening size, the load class or traffic type, and whether you need a hinged or locking cover. Always order the cover and frame together so they seat properly and do not rock.
Riyadh · Jeddah · Dammam
Riyadh: Riyadh Foundry, Assaf Industry and UKC Foundry’s office are in the city, and SPS has a distributor in Al Rabwah. Jeddah: SPS has its factory in Jeddah Industrial Area, and Assaf Industry also operates in Jeddah. Dammam: none of the five has a branch in the Eastern Province, but Riyadh Foundry serves the whole Kingdom and SPS will quote delivery to Dammam.
For Dammam orders, ask for a delivered price and the number of days in transit. Heavy covers ship on flatbed trucks, so check who unloads them at site.
Industrial · Heavy Duty · Corrosion Resistant
For industrial sites, the right supplier depends on the load and the environment. Riyadh Foundry supplies 40-ton cast and ductile iron grates for yards and roads used by trucks and forklifts. Ousus Steel fabricates carbon steel grating covers and trench covers for plant floors and service trenches. Assaf Industry makes stainless steel grating covers for wet, chemical or hygienic areas.
Riyadh Foundry describes itself as an approved supplier to Saudi Aramco, and Assaf lists Saudi Aramco among its clients, which helps when your project requires approved vendors.
CR · ISO · Load Test · Site Visit
A reliable grating cover supplier will show you proof of who it is and what its products can carry. Check these before you order:
On this page, Riyadh Foundry (ISO 9001:2015), SPS (ISO 9001) and Assaf Industry (ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001) publish their certifications, and every supplier has a FYIND profile.
Gully Grates · Channel Grates · Floor Drains · Tree Grates
Riyadh Foundry has the widest drainage range: gully grates with frames, heavy-duty channel grates, catch basins, and floor, roof and area drains. UKC Foundry lists gully grates, channel grates, tree grates and catch basins. SPS makes cast iron channel gratings with rectangular covers.
Stock of standard models changes, and custom sizes are made to order. Call with the model number from the supplier’s FYIND listing (for example Riyadh Foundry MC-441 or UKC008) to check availability quickly.
| Drainage product | Suppliers |
|---|---|
| Gully grates with frames | Riyadh Foundry, UKC Foundry |
| Channel grates | Riyadh Foundry, UKC Foundry, SPS |
| Floor, roof and area drains | Riyadh Foundry |
| Tree grates | UKC Foundry |
| Catch basins | Riyadh Foundry, UKC Foundry |
Commercial · Industrial · Buildings
Inside and around buildings, the choice depends on who or what crosses the cover and how it looks. For basements, car parks and service yards, use iron covers and grates from Riyadh Foundry or SPS. For plant rooms, trenches and warehouses, Ousus Steel fabricates carbon steel grating covers to size. For lobbies, kitchens, pools and landscaped areas where appearance matters, Assaf Industry makes stainless steel grating covers.
Typical scenarios: a mall car park needs 12.5–40 ton iron channel grates at ramp bottoms; a hotel kitchen needs stainless floor drain covers that resist hot water and detergents; a warehouse needs steel trench covers that forklifts can cross.
Cast Iron · Ductile Iron · Carbon Steel · Stainless · Aluminium · FRP/GRP · Electro-Forged
Grating covers come in several materials, and each suits a different load and environment. Below, each type is explained with its applications and real-world scenarios, product features, specifications, indicative price and the supplier on this page to contact.
Grey Cast Iron · Manholes · Gullies
Grey cast iron is the traditional material for manhole covers and drainage grates. It is heavy, stiff and hard-wearing, and its weight keeps it seated in the frame so it does not rattle under traffic.
It is strong in compression but more brittle than ductile iron, so very heavy-duty road covers are often specified in ductile iron instead.
Applications: where and when to use it

Ductile Iron · 40 Ton · Heavy Traffic
Ductile iron (also called spheroidal graphite or SG iron) is a stronger, tougher form of cast iron. It can bend slightly before breaking, so it survives repeated heavy wheel loads and impacts that might crack grey iron.
That makes it the usual choice for 40-ton covers and gully grates on main roads, truck routes and industrial yards.
Applications: where and when to use it

Carbon Steel · Galvanised · Trench Covers
Carbon steel grating covers are made from flat steel bars welded or locked together into a panel, then usually hot-dip galvanised to resist rust. They are open, light for their strength and easy to make in any size.
They are the standard cover for trenches, pits and service channels inside industrial buildings.

Stainless Steel · 304 / 316 · Hygienic
Stainless steel grating covers do not rust and are easy to clean, so they are chosen wherever water, chemicals or hygiene rules are part of daily life. They also look clean and modern, which matters in visible areas.
Grade 304 suits most indoor areas; grade 316 is the safer choice near the coast, around pools and where chlorides or chemicals are present.
Applications: where and when to use it

Aluminium · Lightweight · Light Duty
Aluminium grating covers are light, do not rust and are easy to cut and install. They are best for pedestrian areas and building services where covers need to be lifted often.
Aluminium is not suitable where heavy vehicles cross, because it is much softer than iron or steel.
Applications: where and when to use it

| Where to buy | Ask Assaf Industry – Riyadh +966 56 324 1322 (aluminium and metal works) |
FRP · GRP · Fibreglass · Corrosion Proof
FRP (fibre reinforced plastic), also called GRP or fibreglass, does not corrode at all, is light and does not conduct electricity. It is the answer where even stainless steel would suffer, such as strong chemicals and sewage.
Riyadh Foundry also makes SMC fibreglass access covers, a moulded composite cover used for utility chambers.
Applications: where and when to use it

Electro-Forged · Steel Grating · Walkways
Electro-forged grating is made by fusing the cross bars into the load bars with heat and pressure, giving a strong, uniform panel without separate welds. It is the most common type of industrial steel grating.
It is usually hot-dip galvanised and supplied as panels cut to size for platforms, walkways and trench covers.
Applications: where and when to use it

Channel Grates · Gully Grates · Surface Drainage
Gully grates sit on top of a gully pot and collect rainwater from road edges and low points. Channel grates sit on long linear drains and catch water across a whole width, such as a driveway entrance or car-park ramp.
Both are supplied with frames, and the load rating must match the traffic that will cross them.

Heavy Duty · Cast Iron · 40 Ton
Riyadh Foundry is the leading source: it lists heavy-duty grey cast iron grates MC-450 HD and MC-500 HD, both rated 40 tons, and ductile iron gully grates at 40 tons. SPS makes cast iron channel gratings and covers rated 15 to 35 tons, and UKC Foundry lists a 40-ton cover with frame.
Use heavy-duty covers wherever trucks, buses or forklifts cross: main roads, industrial yards, petrol stations and loading docks. For lighter areas such as footpaths, a medium-duty cover saves cost.
Cast Iron · Riyadh · Jeddah
Buy cast iron grating covers from the foundries: Riyadh Foundry in Riyadh’s Second Industrial City, SPS in Jeddah (with a Riyadh distributor), and UKC Foundry with its plant in Al Kharj Industrial City.
Light cast iron tank covers for villas are sold in building-material shops for roughly SAR 49–215. For road or project covers, go to the foundry for the correct load rating and matching frame.
Stainless Steel · 304 · 316
Assaf Industry in Al Sulay, Riyadh, lists an industrial stainless steel grating cover and specialises in stainless and architectural metal work, with ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certification. Ousus Steel also lists stainless steel bar grating.
Tell the supplier the grade (304 for indoor, 316 for coastal, pool or chemical areas), the opening size, the load and the finish you want.
Aluminium · Lightweight
None of the five lists an aluminium grating cover by name. Assaf Industry works in aluminium as well as stainless steel and is the best place on this page to ask for a made-to-order aluminium grating cover.
Use aluminium only for pedestrian and light-duty areas such as inspection covers, rooftops and decorative walkways. For anything a vehicle crosses, choose iron or steel.
Typical scenarios: aluminium access covers inside a hospital service corridor, rooftop service covers that technicians lift often, and decorative grates in a landscaped courtyard.
Carbon Steel · Trench Covers
Ousus Steel Factory lists a carbon steel grating cover and also makes trench covers, walkways and ladders. UKC Foundry lists mild steel covers and frames (UKC015) and a cover with a mild steel angle frame (UKC007).
Ask for hot-dip galvanising for outdoor or wet areas; painted finishes are fine for dry indoor trenches.
Typical scenarios: removable grating panels over cable trenches in a power substation, pit covers in a car service centre, and drainage trench covers in a warehouse.
FRP · GRP · SMC
Riyadh Foundry makes fibreglass (SMC) access covers, a moulded composite option for utility chambers. None of the five lists moulded FRP grating panels by name, so ask Riyadh Foundry about grating formats and load ratings.
Choose FRP/GRP for sewage plants, chemical areas and coastal chambers where metal corrodes, and for electrical chambers where a non-conductive cover is safer.
Typical scenarios: covers over effluent pits at a wastewater plant, gratings in a chemical storage bund, and telecom or electrical chamber covers where theft of metal covers is a problem.
Electro-Forged · Galvanised
None of the five lists electro-forged grating by name. Ousus Steel Factory fabricates steel and stainless bar grating and is the closest match on this page; ask whether it can supply electro-forged, hot-dip galvanised panels to your sizes.
Give the panel size, load bar size and spacing, surface (plain or serrated) and finish when you ask for a price.
Electro-forged grating is the usual choice for industrial walkways, platforms and trench covers in plants across Jubail and Yanbu, because it is strong, uniform and galvanised for long life.
Channel Grating · Rectangular Cover · SPS
SPS lists exactly this product: a cast iron channel grating with rectangular cover and frame, 350 mm wide, 70 kg, 75 mm deep and rated at 15 tons. Riyadh Foundry also lists heavy-duty 40-ton cast iron channel grates (MC-450 HD).
A 15-ton channel grating suits car parks, forecourts and service roads used by cars and vans. For truck routes, choose a 40-ton grate.
Industrial · Stainless Steel
Assaf Industry lists an industrial stainless steel grating cover and offers design, fabrication and installation. Its client list includes Saudi Aramco and NEOM, which helps for projects with strict vendor requirements.
Typical uses include food and beverage plants, chemical dosing rooms, pharmaceutical facilities and coastal plants where carbon steel would rust.
Specify grade 316 for coastal or chloride-rich areas, choose the bar spacing to suit heel-proof or wheel traffic, and ask for the finish (mill, brushed or polished) that matches the space.
Gully Grate · Frame · 40 Ton
Riyadh Foundry lists the Gully Grate With Frame MC-441 DI HD/150: ductile iron, 150 mm deep and rated 40 tons for roads. UKC Foundry lists Gully Grates UKC008: 30 mm deep and rated 1.5 tons, for pedestrian and landscaped areas.
Match the grate to the traffic: 40-ton for roads and truck areas, light grates for courtyards, parks and footpaths.
Floor Drains · Channel Grates
Riyadh Foundry lists floor drains (FD-400-R5, 3 in), roof drains and area drains, plus channel grates. UKC Foundry lists channel grates (UKC009), and SPS makes cast iron channel gratings. For stainless floor drain covers in kitchens or food areas, ask Assaf Industry.
Typical scenarios: a warehouse uses heavy cast iron channel grates at loading bays; a hotel kitchen uses stainless channel covers; a villa uses small floor drains in wash areas. Match the load and material to each location.
Manhole Covers · Frames · Load Rated
For manhole covers, the three foundries lead: Riyadh Foundry for the widest range of 40-ton heavy-duty covers, SPS for large cast iron covers from 700 to 1000 mm and project supply in Jeddah, and UKC Foundry for road, telecom and water meter covers. All three supply covers with matching frames.
When comparing them, look at the load rating marked on the cover, the clear opening, the frame depth, whether the cover is hinged or locking, and the coating.
Buy · Riyadh · Jeddah · Al Kharj
Buy manhole covers directly from Riyadh Foundry (Riyadh), SPS (Jeddah, with a Riyadh distributor) or UKC Foundry (Al Kharj plant). Factories give you the right load class and a frame that fits.
Have these ready before you call: clear opening (for example 600 × 600 mm), round or square, load or traffic type, frame depth, quantity and delivery site.
Heavy Duty · Drainage · 40 Ton
Riyadh Foundry lists several 40-ton covers (MC-037 DI, MC-105 HD, MC-115 HD, MC-100 R DI, MC-315 DI). SPS makes a 700 × 700 mm cast iron cover rated at 35 tons. UKC Foundry lists a 40-ton cover with a mild steel angle frame (UKC007).
Heavy-duty covers are needed on sewer and stormwater manholes in roads, where trucks pass directly over them. Off the road, a lighter cover is usually enough.
Stormwater · Gully Grates · Channel Grates
Stormwater systems collect rainwater from roads, car parks and open areas. In Saudi Arabia, rain is rare but often sudden and heavy, so gratings must have enough open area to take a lot of water quickly and must stay secure under traffic.
Riyadh Foundry (40-ton gully and channel grates, catch basins), UKC Foundry (gully, channel and tree grates) and SPS (cast iron channel gratings) cover most stormwater needs.
Road · Pavement · Channel
For roads, use Riyadh Foundry’s 40-ton cast iron channel grates (MC-450 HD). For pavements, car parks and forecourts, SPS’s 15-ton cast iron channel grating and UKC Foundry’s channel grates are suitable.
Typical scenarios: a channel grating across a mall car-park entrance catches water before it reaches the ramp; channel grates along a pedestrian plaza keep it dry after a storm.
Commercial Buildings · Floor Drains
For basements, car parks and service yards, buy iron drain grates from Riyadh Foundry or SPS. For kitchens, wash areas and visible architectural drains, buy stainless steel grating covers from Assaf Industry. For roofs and plant rooms, Riyadh Foundry lists roof and floor drains.
Typical scenarios: a mall uses iron channel grates at car-park ramps, stainless floor drains in food courts and kitchens, and decorative stainless grates at entrances; an office tower uses roof drains and plant-room floor drains from Riyadh Foundry.
Municipal · Gully Grate · Bulk
Riyadh Foundry is best placed for municipal projects: 40-ton ductile iron gully grates with frames, monthly output above 1,500 tons, and a stated approval with the Ministry of Water. UKC Foundry supplies lighter gully grates for parks and pedestrian streets.
Municipal tenders usually specify EN 124 class D400 for road gullies; ask for the load certificate with the quote.
Underground · Sewer · Manhole
Underground sewer and stormwater networks are accessed through manholes and inspection chambers. Their covers must carry traffic above, stay sealed against odour and resist corrosion from sewer gases.
In roads, use ductile iron covers rated 40 tons (D400). In compounds and gardens, medium-duty cast iron covers are enough. In sewage plants or chemical areas, consider FRP or SMC composite covers that do not corrode.
| Location | Recommended cover |
|---|---|
| Road carriageway | Ductile iron, 40 ton (D400) |
| Footpath or car park | Cast or ductile iron, 12.5–25 ton |
| Garden, villa yard | Light cast iron or composite |
| Sewage plant, chemical area | FRP / SMC composite |
Factories · Warehouses · Floor Drains
For factory and warehouse floors, Ousus Steel fabricates carbon steel trench and grating covers that forklifts can cross, Riyadh Foundry supplies cast iron floor drains and heavy-duty channel grates, and Assaf Industry makes stainless covers for wash-down or food areas.
Check the forklift wheel load with the supplier: small hard wheels concentrate weight and need stronger covers than car traffic.
Contractors · Infrastructure · Bulk
Contractors should go to the foundries: Riyadh Foundry for large volumes and 40-ton products, SPS for Jeddah projects and for covers supplied with pipe packages, and UKC Foundry for streetscape castings.
Send the full bill of quantities with model, load class, size and delivery schedule. Ask for load certificates, delivery by phase, and who unloads heavy items at site.
Load Class · Vehicle Traffic · 40 Ton
Riyadh Foundry lists the most 40-ton products (gully grates, channel grates and manhole covers). SPS offers 15–35 ton cast iron covers and channel gratings, and UKC Foundry lists a 40-ton manhole cover and a 25-ton tree grate.
Local makers often state load as a test load in tons. As a guide, 12.5 tons is about EN 124 class B125, 25 tons about C250 and 40 tons about D400.
EN 124 · A15 · B125 · C250 · D400 · E600 · F900
Choose the load class by the heaviest traffic that can ever cross the cover, not the usual traffic. EN 124 is the standard most consultants specify, and it defines six classes:
| Class | Test load | Where to use it |
|---|---|---|
| A15 | 15 kN (about 1.5 t) | Pedestrian and cycle areas only |
| B125 | 125 kN (about 12.5 t) | Footpaths, car parks for cars |
| C250 | 250 kN (about 25 t) | Kerb side and road channels |
| D400 | 400 kN (about 40 t) | Roads, hard shoulders, parking for all vehicles |
| E600 | 600 kN (about 60 t) | Docks, heavy industrial and loading areas |
| F900 | 900 kN (about 90 t) | Airports and aircraft pavements |
If in doubt, go one class higher. A cover in a car park that occasionally sees a delivery truck should be D400, not B125.
Roads · Parking · Pedestrian
Use the location to choose:
| Location | Load class | Suggested product |
|---|---|---|
| Main roads, truck routes | D400 (40 t) | Riyadh Foundry MC-441 DI gully grate, MC-450 HD channel grate |
| Kerb side, service roads | C250 (25 t) | Iron gully or channel grates |
| Parking lots for cars | B125 (12.5 t) | Riyadh Foundry MC-210 MD cover; SPS 15 t channel grating |
| Pedestrian areas, parks | A15 (1.5 t) | UKC008 gully grates; stainless or aluminium decorative grates |
Industrial Sites · Heavy Duty
Riyadh Foundry is the main source for 40-ton cast and ductile iron grates and covers, and it describes itself as an approved supplier to Saudi Aramco. SPS supplies cast iron covers up to 35 tons.
For industrial sites with forklifts or container handlers, ask for E600 if the wheel loads are very high, and specify locking covers so they cannot lift under traffic.
Steel · Ductile Iron · Stainless · FRP
Inside factories and warehouses, choose galvanised carbon steel grating for trenches and pits, ductile iron for areas where heavy forklifts cross, stainless steel for food, pharma and wash-down areas, and FRP where chemicals are present.
Typical scenarios: a logistics warehouse in Riyadh covers its loading-bay trench with heavy steel grating; a dairy plant uses 316 stainless floor drains; a battery workshop uses FRP over acid-drain channels.
Coastal · Jeddah · Dammam · Jubail
In salty, humid coastal cities such as Jeddah, Dammam, Al Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu, choose 316 stainless steel or FRP/GRP for covers in pedestrian and industrial areas, and coated ductile iron for road covers.
Plain carbon steel rusts quickly by the sea unless it is hot-dip galvanised and maintained. For seafront promenades and hotels, stainless also keeps its appearance.
Wastewater · H2S · FRP
Wastewater plants give off hydrogen sulphide gas, which attacks steel and iron. FRP/GRP gratings and covers last longest, followed by 316 stainless steel. Use ductile iron only for road manholes within the plant.
Inside treatment plants, the worst areas are inlet works, screens, sludge tanks and pump wet wells, where gas levels are highest. Use FRP gratings and walkway covers there. Use 316 stainless for drain covers around process buildings, and ductile iron D400 covers only on the internal roads that trucks use.
Riyadh Foundry offers SMC fibreglass access covers and ductile iron road covers, and Assaf Industry makes stainless covers, so the full plant can be covered by suppliers on this page.
Corrosion Resistant · Stainless · FRP
For stainless steel, contact Assaf Industry or Ousus Steel (stainless bar grating). For composite covers, contact Riyadh Foundry about its SMC fibreglass access covers.
Pick the material by what the drain carries. For hot water, detergents and food waste, 304 stainless is enough. For salty water, chlorides and coastal air, choose 316 stainless. For acids, sewage gases or strong chemicals, choose FRP/GRP or an SMC composite cover, which does not corrode at all.
Typical scenarios: a desalination plant drain near the sea uses 316 stainless; a chemical dosing room in a water treatment plant uses FRP; a cooling-tower basin drain uses hot-dip galvanised steel with a coating maintenance plan. Ask the supplier for the grade certificate so you know you are getting 316 and not 304.
Kitchens · Stainless · Hygienic
Use stainless steel floor drain and channel covers in commercial kitchens. They resist hot water, grease and cleaning chemicals, are easy to remove and clean, and meet hygiene inspections. Grade 304 is standard; choose 316 where salty or acidic food waste is common.
Assaf Industry makes stainless grating covers to size, which helps when replacing covers in existing kitchen channels.
Choose covers with fine slots or perforations so food waste does not fall in, and make sure they lift out easily for daily cleaning.
Municipal · Stormwater · D400
Ductile iron gully grates with frames, rated D400 (40 ton), are the best choice for municipal road drainage. They take truck traffic, resist cracking and are heavy enough to deter theft.
Riyadh Foundry’s MC-441 DI gully grate matches this specification. For pedestrian streets and parks, lighter cast iron grates and tree grates from UKC Foundry are more economical.
SAR · Price Guide · Load · Weight
Grating cover prices depend mainly on material, weight and load class. Iron covers are effectively priced by weight, so a 40-ton road cover costs much more than a light tank cover of the same size. Real retail examples from Saudi stores in October 2026:
| Product | Price (SAR) | Source type |
|---|---|---|
| Light cast iron tank cover, 40–60 cm, about 20 kg | 49 (sale, incl. VAT) | Building-material store |
| Cast iron tank cover, 60 × 60 cm | 215 | Building-material store |
| Heavy cast iron inspection cover, 60 × 60 cm, 90 kg | 610 (incl. VAT) | Building-material store |
| Large cast iron covers 700–1000 mm, 290–400 kg (SPS) | Quote only | Online building-materials platform |
| 40-ton ductile iron covers and gully grates | Quote only | Manufacturer |
| Stainless, aluminium, FRP and fabricated steel covers | Quote only | Made to order |
As a rough guide, the 90 kg heavy cover works out at about SAR 6–7 per kg. Use that to budget larger iron covers, then confirm with the manufacturer.
Manhole · Price · Load Class
A light cast iron manhole or tank cover for a villa costs roughly SAR 49–215. A heavy 60 × 60 cm cast iron cover of about 90 kg costs around SAR 610 including VAT. Large road covers of 700–1000 mm weigh 290–400 kg and are quoted by the manufacturer.
Ask for the price with the frame included, and check whether delivery and VAT are in the quote.
Affordable · Value
The most affordable route is to match the load class to the real traffic, rather than over-specifying. A B125 cover in a car-only area costs much less than a D400 road cover. Buying in quantity from a foundry (Riyadh Foundry, SPS, UKC) also lowers the unit price.
For fabricated steel, standard panel sizes from Ousus Steel cost less than fully custom shapes.
Load Rating · EN 124 · BS 497 · ISO 9001
Load ratings are stated on the suppliers’ listings: Riyadh Foundry lists 12.5 and 40-ton products, SPS lists 15 and 35-ton covers made to BS 497, and UKC Foundry lists 1.5, 25 and 40-ton products. Riyadh Foundry (ISO 9001:2015) and SPS (ISO 9001) also hold factory quality certification.
For tenders, ask the supplier for the load test certificate for the exact model and for the class marked on the casting.
Quality · Load Test · Marking
Check the paperwork, the marking and the casting itself:
On delivery, sample-check a few covers for size against the frame and for damage from transport.
Corrosion · FRP · Stainless
From most to least corrosion-resistant: FRP/GRP (does not corrode), 316 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel, aluminium, hot-dip galvanised steel, then coated cast and ductile iron.
Iron covers still last decades on roads because their thickness allows for surface rust; choose FRP or stainless in sewage, chemical and coastal areas.
Typical scenarios: covers inside sewage plants and chemical areas should be FRP; covers around pools, kitchens and seafront promenades should be 316 stainless; covers in dry inland industrial trenches can be galvanised steel; road covers stay ductile iron for strength.
Stock · Delivery · Bulk
None of the five publishes stock levels or delivery times, so contact the supplier for current stock and delivery time. Standard cast models (such as Riyadh Foundry MC-441 or UKC008) are the most likely to be ready, while custom sizes and fabricated covers are made to order.
Riyadh Foundry has the largest output (over 1,500 tons a month) and serves the whole Kingdom; SPS covers Jeddah and Riyadh through its distributor.
Nationwide · Delivery
Riyadh Foundry states that it serves the whole of Saudi Arabia and more than 9 export markets. SPS supplies from Jeddah and through its Riyadh distributor and will quote delivery to other cities. Contact the supplier for the delivery time to your site.
Delivery cost matters for iron covers because they are heavy. Ask for a delivered price per lot rather than per piece, and confirm whether unloading is included. For remote sites, include the nearest town and any access limits.
Riyadh Foundry also exports to GCC markets, which shows experience with long-distance freight and packing.
Bulk · Infrastructure
For bulk orders, go to Riyadh Foundry (capacity over 1,500 tons a month) or SPS (project record including KAFD and the Eastern Ring Road). Send the full schedule of covers and grates with sizes, load classes and phased delivery dates.
For infrastructure tenders, ask each foundry for its load test certificates, coating specification and production lead time per thousand units. Agree a phased delivery schedule so covers arrive when each road section is ready, which saves storage and damage on site.
UKC Foundry is a good additional source for streetscape items such as tree grates and lighter gully grates on the same project.
Custom Size · Made to Order
Ousus Steel fabricates carbon steel grating and trench covers to size, Assaf Industry makes stainless grating covers to order, and UKC Foundry and Riyadh Foundry offer custom castings.
Send a drawing or the exact opening dimensions, the load, and the material and finish you want.
Custom covers are common when renovating older buildings, where trench and chamber sizes do not match today’s standard products. Measure the clear opening and the seating ledge carefully, and allow lead time for fabrication or pattern-making.
Frames · Bulk Orders
Yes. The foundries list covers and gully grates with matching frames (for example Riyadh Foundry MC-441 DI gully grate with frame and SPS channel grating with frame) and can supply them in project quantities. Always order frames with covers so they fit correctly.
When ordering in bulk, check that every frame matches its cover model, that hinges and locks are included where specified, and that spare covers are added for breakages. Ask for covers to be palletised so they can be unloaded safely.
Typical scenarios: a municipality orders hundreds of D400 gully grates with frames for a new district; a developer orders matching manhole covers and frames for all utility chambers in a compound.
Large Projects · Commercial · Industrial
SPS lists projects such as KAFD, Al Faisaliah Tower and Princess Nourah University. Assaf Industry lists NEOM, Saudi Aramco and Hyundai E&C among its clients. Riyadh Foundry describes itself as an approved supplier to Saudi Aramco, the Ministry of Water and Riyadh Metro.
For large projects, the supplier’s capacity and paperwork matter as much as price. Ask for the factory’s ISO certificate, load test certificates for each model, and references from similar projects. Riyadh Foundry’s 1,500+ tons a month and SPS’s project list show they can handle volume.
Quotes · Compare
Call or email two or three suppliers on this page with the same request: product type, size, load class, quantity and delivery site. Ask for the price with frames, VAT and delivery shown separately so the quotes can be compared line by line.
Send the same list to each supplier so the quotes are directly comparable. Include whether you need frames, hinges or locks, and ask how long the price is valid, since metal prices change.
Riyadh · Jeddah · Dammam · Jubail
Riyadh Foundry serves the whole Kingdom, including Dammam and Jubail. SPS covers Jeddah and Riyadh directly and quotes other cities. The Riyadh-based fabricators (Assaf, Ousus) and UKC Foundry can arrange delivery; confirm freight to the Eastern Province when you ask for a quote.
Riyadh and Jeddah buyers can usually collect or receive deliveries directly from the factories. For Dammam and Jubail, plan on a delivered order and confirm the transit time and unloading arrangements before you sign.
Riyadh · Check Distance
In Riyadh, Riyadh Foundry is in the Second Industrial City, Assaf Industry is in Al Sulay, and SPS has a distributor in Al Rabwah. UKC Foundry’s office is in Olaya and its plant is in Al Kharj Industrial City, south of Riyadh. Tap Check Distance to see the drive time from where you are.
Dammam · Eastern Province
None of the five has a branch in Dammam. The best options are Riyadh Foundry, which serves the whole Kingdom, and SPS, which quotes delivery to other cities. Ask for a delivered price to your Dammam site.
For Dammam projects, ask each supplier for the delivered price, the transit time and whether they can deliver in phases to match your site programme. Heavy covers are shipped on flatbed trucks, so arrange a forklift or crane for unloading.
Typical scenarios: a road contractor in Dammam orders D400 gully grates and manhole covers from Riyadh Foundry in project lots; a facility in the Second Industrial City orders stainless trench covers from Assaf Industry for a wash-down area.
Jeddah · Industrial Area
SPS has its factory in Jeddah Industrial Area, making it the nearest supplier for Jeddah, Makkah and Rabigh projects. Assaf Industry also operates in Jeddah for stainless steel work.
Buying from a Jeddah factory saves freight on heavy iron castings and shortens delivery for projects in Jeddah’s industrial cities, Makkah, Taif and Rabigh. SPS also supplies pipes, valves and fittings, so drainage packages can come from one source.
Typical scenarios: a contractor on a Jeddah road project orders cast iron channel gratings and manhole covers with the pipe package from SPS; a hotel near the Corniche orders 316 stainless steel drain covers from Assaf Industry.
Jubail · Industrial City
None of the five has a Jubail branch. For Jubail plants, ask Riyadh Foundry (Kingdom-wide supply and a stated Aramco approval) for a delivered price, and ask Assaf Industry for stainless steel covers for corrosive areas.
Jubail plants often require approved vendors, mill or casting certificates and load test records. Riyadh Foundry describes itself as an approved supplier to Saudi Aramco, which helps with vendor registration. For corrosive or coastal areas inside plants, choose 316 stainless or FRP rather than plain steel.
Typical scenarios: a petrochemical plant orders D400 ductile iron covers for internal roads and FRP gratings for its effluent pits; a contractor orders stainless trench covers for a process building near the sea.
Al Khobar · Industrial
There is no Al Khobar branch among the five. Contact Riyadh Foundry or SPS for delivered prices to Al Khobar, and confirm the transit time before you order.
For Al Khobar factories and the industrial areas around Dammam and Dhahran, plan heavy items as a delivered order from Riyadh or Jeddah. Give the supplier your site address, gate access rules and the unloading equipment on site, since 40-ton covers and frames can weigh several hundred kilograms each.
If you need stainless steel covers for food plants or corrosive areas in Al Khobar, Assaf Industry can quote fabrication and delivery from Riyadh.
Compare · Distance · Delivery
Use the Check Distance links to see drive times, then compare them with each supplier’s stock, product range and delivered price. For heavy iron covers, freight is a real cost, so the nearest factory with your model in stock is usually the best value.
