Manhole cover, Newtownards
Manhole cover located on Mark Street in Newtownards. It is marked "Briduc". The following is adapted from a Highway Engineers magazine report found on the Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation:
"The Briduc was a lightweight cover made of ductile iron, but about four times as strong as the ordinary grey iron from which manhole covers are traditionally made. It was manufactured by Dunbro Ltd of Woolwich, London SE28, and introduced in 1973. It had a clear opening of 610mm diameter, which complied with safety recommendations for sewers. Although the opening was in excess of that normally specified for sewers in accordance with BS 497/67 the weight saving was dramatic, the cover weighing only 38 kg as against 140 kg for the normal cover weight of an ordinary 22" diameter roadway manhole cover. This weight saving allowed for easier transportation and cheaper site installation costs, safety in use, and a lower cost since less metal was used in its manufacture."
