Manhole covers. When I see a manhole cover, I see a casting. A manhole cover is a well designed, extremely high quality, and safety sensitive casting. Think about it, the absolute worst thing that could happen to a manhole cover is that someone is walking over it and it fails. Manhole covers are abused day in and day out by cars and trucks driving over them and subject to all of the temperature and weather variations. Manhole covers are designed to last and last a very long time. They have to be produced so that they are within very tight tolerances so that they fit exactly in the underlying support structure so that they do not "shift".
Walking Wyatt Earp early on Saturday morning, I came across a very ornate manhole cover.
The Synchro ERP software assists all metalcasters in producing high quality castings, reducing scrap, improving throughput, increasing efficiency, and at the end of the day; making more money!
So, next time you walk across that manhole cover, think "CASTING" - think of all that went into making that casting - from the pour all the way through quality control and shipping.
Until next time, see you on down the road.
