1. A heavy duty rotary concrete mixing drum for coupling to a vehicle having a drivetrain for rotating the drum, the drum comprising: a wall defined at least partially by a first spiral wall section and a second spiral wall section, the wall having an inner surface and an outer surface and including an opening;an assembly releasably coupled to the opening, the assembly comprising: a hatch cover positionable adjacent the inner surface and having a raised region that extends through the opening from the inner surface towards the outer surface; anda panel coupled to the wall proximate the opening;wherein when the hatch cover and the panel are coupled together, the opening is substantially sealed and closed. 2. The mixing drum of claim 1, wherein the inner surface has a first contour and wherein the hatch cover has a second contour that follows the first contour and is releasably coupled to the panel by a coupling member. 3. The mixing drum of claim 2, wherein the coupling member extends through the opening. 4. The mixing drum of claim 2, wherein the coupling member is a fastener. 5. The mixing drum of claim 4, wherein the fastener is a bolt. 6. The mixing drum of claim 5, wherein the bolt extends through an aperture in one of the hatch cover and the panel. 7. The mixing drum of claim 6, wherein the bolt is coupled to the other one of the hatch cover and the panel. 8. The mixing drum of claim 7, wherein a receiving member is embedded in the other one of the hatch cover and the panel. 9. The mixing drum of claim 8, wherein the bolt is coupled to the receiving member. 10. The mixing drum of claim 9, wherein tightening the bolts draws the hatch cover toward the panel. 11. The mixing drum of claim 1, wherein the hatch cover fits within a recess in a first side of the wall. 12. The mixing drum of claim 11, wherein the hatch cover is flush with the inner surface when the hatch cover and the panel are coupled together. 13. The mixing drum of claim 1, wherein the raised region of the hatch cover is on an outer side of the hatch cover. 14. The mixing drum of claim 13, wherein the raised region extends through the opening and is flush with an outer surface of drum. 15. The mixing drum of claim 1, wherein the drum further comprises a seal coupled to the wall proximate the opening. 16. The mixing drum of claim 15, wherein the seal is between the hatch cover and the panel when the hatch cover and the panel are coupled together. 17. The mixing drum of claim 16, wherein the seal comprises a fiber reinforced composite material. 18. The mixing drum of claim 17, wherein at least a portion of the seal is coated with an elastomeric material. 19. The mixing drum of claim 15, wherein the seal substantially surrounds the opening. 20. The mixing drum of claim 15, wherein one of the hatch cover and the panel contacts the seal when the hatch cover and the panel are coupled together. 21. The mixing drum of claim 1, wherein at least one of the hatch cover and the panel comprises a fiber reinforced composite material. 22. The mixing drum of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of one of the hatch cover and the panel is at least partially coated with an elastomeric material. 23. The mixing drum of claim 22, wherein the elastomeric material comprises polyurethane. 24. The mixing drum of claim 1, wherein having the raised region extend through the opening from the inner surface towards the outer surface utilizes the weight of concrete within the mixing drum to further couple the hatch cover to the panel thereby further sealing the opening. 25. A concrete mixing drum comprising: a first molded polymeric helical wall element;a second molded polymeric helical wall element joined to the first molded polymeric helical wall element, wherein the first molded polymeric helical wall element and the second molded polymeric helical wall element form a substantially continuous common wall circumferentially extending about a longitudinal axis to form an interior of the drum, the common wall including an opening, and wherein the first helical wall element and the second helical wall element are joined along a helical seam; anda hatch disposed in the common wall, the hatch comprising: a hatch cover having a raised region that extends through the opening from the interior of the drum towards the exterior of the drum; anda panel coupled to the wall proximate the opening;wherein when the hatch cover and the panel are coupled together, the opening is substantially sealed and closed. 26. The mixing drum of claim 25, wherein the hatch cover fits within a recess in a first side of the wall. 27. The mixing drum of claim 26, wherein the hatch cover is flush with the inner surface when the hatch cover and the panel are coupled together. 28. The mixing drum of claim 25, wherein the drum further comprises a seal coupled to the wall proximate the opening. 29. The mixing drum of claim 28, wherein the seal is between the hatch cover and the panel when the hatch cover and the panel are coupled together.
