PRECAST MANHOLES

offer value AND DURABILITY

W

e all drive over them, complain when their lids go missing, but seldom realise the crucial role manholes play in the construction of underground pipelines. Within this field, Rocla is a market leader, designing and manufacturing standard and customised systems. Placed at regular inter vals along the pipeline, used as a junction where stormwater pipes meet up, or where stormwater flow needs to be redirected, as well as for ventilation along sewerage systems, precast concrete manholes are still the preferred choice for infrastructure projects due to their durability (lasting up to 100 years). Assembled at site, they are quick and easy to install. Rocla’s precast concrete manhole with an interlocking joint profile, together with the application of a sealing material, makes for a simple yet effective solution. The manhole chamber sections are supplied in lengths of 1 000 mm, 500 mm and 250 mm, and are available in diameters of 750 mm, 1 000 mm, 1 250 mm, 1 500 mm, 1 800 mm and 1 950 mm. Special intermediate or larger sizes can also be designed and manufactured subject to a feasibility study, and Rocla engineers can assist in this evaluation process. Step irons can be cast into the wall of the chamber, while concrete lids are also offered as an alternative to the conventional cast-iron option.
