Introduction‍

10th of Ramadan City is one of Egypt’s biggest industrial areas. It helps the country grow by supporting factories and businesses. But the city had a big problem—people were stealing cast-iron manhole covers.

Why? Because metal is valuable and thieves sell it for money. When these covers go missing, it creates dangerous open holes on the streets and costs a lot of money to replace. The city needed a better solution.

‍

The Challenge‍

For years, the city struggled with stolen manhole covers. Open holes on roads made it dangerous for cars and people. Fixing them over and over took a lot of money and time.

The city needed a strong, theft-proof solution that would fit into their existing system without spending too much money on new installations.

‍

Our Smart Solution‍

Almasrya worked with city officials to create a better solution. Instead of replacing everything, we designed a special composite cover that fits inside the old cast-iron frames.

‍

Here’s why our covers are better:

• No Scrap Value: Thieves don’t want them because they can't sell them.
• Easy to Install: They fit right into the existing system, saving time and money.
• Strong and Long-Lasting: These covers can handle heavy traffic and bad weather.
• Cost-Effective: The city saves money by not replacing the whole system.

‍

The Results

In just six months, we replaced:

• 10,000 covers for smaller manholes.
• 4,000 covers for larger manholes.

‍

The benefits were clear:

• Safer Streets: No more open holes, making roads safer for everyone.
• Big Savings: The city saved money and could spend it on other important projects.
• Durability: The new covers last longer and don’t need much maintenance.

‍

Conclusion‍

Almasrya’s work in 10th of Ramadan City shows how smart engineering can solve big city problems. Our composite covers provide a safe, affordable, and lasting solution against theft.

As metal theft continues to be a problem in many cities, Almasrya is ready to help others find better, smarter solutions to keep their streets safe.
