Precast Concrete Manholes
Precast
concrete manholes are an integral component of any modern
sewer system. A properly designed and installed precast concrete
manhole system provides superior watertight performance compared
with competing methods and materials. A typical precast concrete
manhole can be installed 500 feet deep and more, because lateral
forces act equally around the periphery, which places the
section in pure compression – the ideal state for concrete.
Precast concrete manhole sections are produced in a controlled
environment, thus exhibiting high quality and uniformity.
