Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/23/2015 -- A 2002 study conducted by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) found that underground infrastructure corrosion cost municipalities across the country over 22 billion dollars in that year alone. Adjusted for inflation, that amounts to nearly 50 billion dollars annually today. With more than 800,000 miles of underground water piping to protect, finding a solution to this issue is vital.

Fortunately, Sewper Cover™, a company that is leading the way in engineering and environmental solutions, has introduced a product that could save the country's sewer system from ruin. The company has recently unveiled their new non-metallic composite manhole cover replacement. These covers and rings eliminate the problem of corrosion and are the answer to the corrosion problem for municipalities everywhere.

Eric Dupre, North America's President of Sewper Cover™, stated "Municipal sewer systems all over the country face a dire issue with corrosion because of their exposure to the elements. They are in constant contact with soil, water, and other natural substances and gases that can cause significant damage over time. For sewer systems, the common iron-cast manhole cover is often the first to sustain damage from trapped gasses like hydrogen sulfide that can degrade and rust metal, leaving a mess behind. The key to long-term sustainability for most municipal sewer systems rests solely on battling the forces of nature that cause corrosive damage."

Dupre goes on to say, "Sewper Cover's™ new non-metallic, composite manhole cover replacement totally removes the problem of corrosion from the equation. The fact that the composite material can withstand harsh environments much better than cast iron means that these covers will wear longer and look better, saving municipalities tons of money. In addition, governments can customize them with their preferred logos and colors. Our new manhole cover replacements are also fast and easy to install and have zero scrap metal values, which means less worries about labor costs and theft and even more money saved."

"If local governments don't do something about the failing sewer infrastructure sooner than later, the country is going to have a massive financial disaster on its hands, not to mention having third world country issues. Fortunately, our FRP/Composite manhole covers provide everything needed to protect what is already there. When municipalities make the investment in these composite replacements, Sewper Cover™ is confident that they will see a huge return on that investment in the long run."
