The wastewater industry has relied on precast concrete manholes for over a century, but times are changing. The Poo Pit is redefining what distributors, engineers, municipalities and contractors expect from underground infrastructure. Here’s why this shift is happening and what it means for your next project.
Faster, Easier Installs:
Concrete structures require heavy equipment, multiple crew members, and hours of labor. The Poo Pit installs in as little as 15 minutes without cranes, saving time and money.
Safer for Crews:
Traditional manholes often require confined space entry, increasing the risk of injury. Polyethylene systems eliminate that hazard with surface-level maintenance only.
100% Watertight Performance:
Groundwater infiltration and exfiltration are costly problems for municipalities. The Poo Pit’s fully sealed design prevents leaks, protecting both the environment and your budget.
Lower Lifecycle Costs:
Unlike concrete, polyethylene resists corrosion, gases, and groundwater intrusion, delivering decades of maintenance-free service.
Proven in the Field:
With over 250,000 units installed globally, polyethylene manholes aren’t just a trend, they’re the future of infrastructure.
