DESIGN FEATURES
	Custom Built : uPVC manholes can be custom built to suit individual project requirements thereby providing efficient and reduced on-site installation time and costs. High Impact strength : The manhole walls are made of uPVC material by a continuous extrusion process providing excellent impact resistance and full all round protection. This uPVC base material and structure provides total corrosion resistance thereby enhancing overall manhole life span.
Years of experience gained by Cosmoplast in developing application specific uPVC and PE pipes and fittings have helped to create a custom made uPVC manhole system that fully addresses the monitoring and control needs of the pipeline industry.
UNIQUE AND FOOLPROOF CONSTRUCTION
Cosmoplast’s uPVC manholes are made of single or multiple sections designed to suit the operational depths required. Generally manholes of depths greater than 2.0 meter will have multiple sections incorporating a base section, riser section and an access section. These base and riser sections can be assembled and sealed on site using the traditional and well-established uPVC jointing techniques.
The base section of the manhole construction is normally sealed using a welded uPVC base plate. This can then be encased with a concrete filling to ensure system balance and to counter any upthrusts encountered on site. At the same time, the concrete filling can also be shaped to easily match the individual pipe configurations and benching required at that location. In and out flow pipes can be installed anywhere around the circumference of the base unit dependent upon pipe and site configuration. These inlet and outlet pipe sections are then connected to the external lines using solvent cement, rubber ring or flanges depending upon the local system connection requirements. When the exact inlet and outlet pipe dimensions and configurations are specified beforehand, Cosmoplast can supply both manhole chambers and readymade inlet and outlet connections which exactly match onsite requirements.
