“Toby Bungs” are suitable for most small pavement ironworks and have been have been certified and approved for use by major water and utilities companies, local authorities, highway operators and port authorities for water, telecommunications, power and similar services access covers. 

“Toby Bungs” come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit a variety of ironwork and surface boxes. These products offer high lateral strength, compression and sheer resistance and meet all relevant international material and quality standards.

There are also larger sizes of SHIMPAC® TEMPORARY SAFETY INSPECTION COVERS as temporary coverings for chambers during roadworks, to protect them from detritus entering chambers, gullies and pipes before final surrounding surface materials are laid.
