Discreet Manhole Covers by ACO Passavant Detego – Where Function Meets Urban Aesthetics
As cities grow and evolve, preserving their unique charm becomes more important than ever. Urban development, new infrastructure, and modern mobility concepts must blend seamlessly into the cityscape—especially in historic centers, near listed buildings, museums, churches, town halls, or tourist landmarks. In these sensitive areas, manhole covers and floor access doors should never disrupt the visual harmony.
Smart Solutions for High Design and Functional Demands
Whether it’s smoke extraction vents above underground garages in pedestrian zones, emergency exits near heritage buildings, or transformer stations in parks and gardens—these are complex challenges for landscape architects and urban planners. At ACO Passavant Detego, we make these concerns disappear—just like our covers do.
Custom Covers with Custom Surfaces
We specialize in tailor-made manhole covers and floor access solutions that meet the highest standards in both performance and design. From watertight and heavy-duty options to fire-rated and insulated models, we engineer solutions to fit your exact needs.
When surface aesthetics matter—such as in heritage zones or design-driven projects—we offer recessed covers that can be filled on-site with paving, stone, or other materials to match their surroundings. Almost any size is possible. One of our largest installations, located at Place de Metz in Luxembourg, spans 2.8 x 8.32 meters and is a prime example of seamless visual integration.
From Design to Installation – All from One Source
As a full-service provider, we don’t just deliver custom covers—we also handle installation and ongoing maintenance. With ACO Passavant Detego, you get a complete solution that’s as reliable as it is discreet.
