It is a pretty well known fact that most of the Earth’s surface is covered by water so to say it permeates our existence is an understatement.
While this liquid is essential to our existence, it also wreaks havoc on many man-made systems it comes in contact with and in our world of petroleum, it would be classified as a super villain!
And while our industry has been reacting to the havoc water causes for more than a century to develop better ways to keep it out of refueling systems, water intrusion has INCREASED in refueling systems!

As if winters weren’t bad enough with the cold, snow and flu, now a snow plow comes along to turn your station’s manhole covers and spill lids into flying saucers or a pile of scrap. Either way, a sizable hole in the middle of your station’s lot does nobody any good.
But not to worry!
The Kennedy CompanySTOCKS a wide variety of replacement covers and we can even have them custom-made for those hard to find and/or obsolete manholes and spills. And just because you can’t find it on our site, doesn’t mean we don’t have it or can’t get it so by all means, please give us a call for those hard to find covers, lids or any of your other service station and refueling location needs!
We carry ever major brand with many sitting on our shelves. We also deal with several manufacturers capable of fabricating replacements for those very old, obsolete manholes no longer supported by the manufacturer.
Okay, so it’s not likely a plow will wipe out tank sump covers underground (that requires a special kinda cowboy behind the wheel of a plow truck!) but winters are tough on all equipment and with so many compliance laws and regulations, containment failures are not an option so check out some of the available retrofit tank sump lids currently on the market.
