PVC Manholes in Gravity Sewer Systems
Manholes are vital for operating and maintaining gravity sewer systems. They provide essential access for inspection, cleaning, and repairs. Additionally, manholes control hydraulic flow at points of directional change, grade variation, or where flow channels merge. To prevent infiltration or exfiltration, manhole connections must be watertight. Benefits of PVC Manholes Watertightness: PVC manhole structures are made from pipe stock and joined via a thermoforming process, ensuring consistent, watertight seals throughout the body and at outlet stubs. Corrosion Resistance: PVC is resistant to the harsh, corrosive conditions found in sanitary sewers, enhancing durability. Lightweight: PVC manholes are significantly lighter than concrete alternatives, simplifying handling and installation. Purpose and Capabilities PVC manhole systems are designed to: Meet structural requirements for traffic-bearing applications Offer a watertight PVC structure and gasketed pipe connections Accommo...
