Square Manholes
High quality Square Manholes designed for drainage, sewer, and utility systems, providing durable construction, high load capacity, and compliance with European standards for safe inspection and maintenance access.
Overview
Square Manholes are access chambers used in drainage, sewer, and underground utility systems to allow inspection, maintenance, and operational access. Their square shape offers practical installation advantages, efficient space utilization, and improved accessibility compared to traditional circular manholes.
Standards & Compliance
Square Manholes are manufactured in accordance with EN 476 and EN 752-1 standards. According to EN 752-1, a manhole is defined as a chamber with a removable cover on a drain or sewer that permits personnel entry for inspection, cleaning, and maintenance purposes.
Load Classification
- C250: Load rating up to 25 tonnes, suitable for pedestrian areas, pavements, parking areas, and light traffic zones
- D400: Heavy-duty load rating up to 40 tonnes, suitable for roads, highways, and areas exposed to heavy vehicular traffic
Applications
- Drain and sewer systems
- Inspection chambers
- Structures for overcoming height differences
- Intersection and junction chambers
