For more than a century, concrete has been the go-to material for manholes and wastewater infrastructure. But times have changed and the question is, why stick with outdated technology when a better alternative exists?
Lightweight, durable, and 100% watertight, polyethylene systems like the Poo Pit are quickly replacing traditional concrete across North America. Unlike concrete, polyethylene doesn’t crack, spall, or absorb water. It resists corrosion, harmful gases, and groundwater intrusion, issues that cost cities millions in repairs every year.
Traditional manholes require cranes, large crews, and hours of labor. The Poo Pit installs in as little as 15 minutes without heavy equipment. That means lower project costs, shorter timelines, and less disruption for communities.
Confined space entry is one of the most dangerous, and costly, requirements in wastewater maintenance. Polyethylene manholes eliminate this risk by enabling surface-level maintenance, reducing liability and protecting crews.
With proven performance in over 250,000 installations and approvals in cities across the world, polyethylene manholes are the future of infrastructure. Crews adopting this technology are saving on lifecycle costs, improving safety, and building smarter systems for decades to come.
