Even the best installations need regular checkups. The Poo Pit system makes inspection simple, safe, and efficient all without the confined-space entry that traditional manholes require.
A Safer Way to Inspect
Unlike concrete manholes that demand climbing down ladders and dealing with confined-space hazards, the Poo Pit’s 12-inch surface riser allows crews to inspect from above. This design reduces risk and keeps operations compliant with safety regulations.
Camera Inspection 101
The smooth internal wall and streamlined flow path of the Poo Pit make it ideal for camera inspections. Here’s how to get the best results:
- Access from the Surface: Remove the cover and insert your inspection camera through the riser stub.
- Check Flow Lines: Run the camera through inlet and outlet lines to verify proper slope and connection.
- Look for Infiltration: Examine joints and seals for groundwater intrusion.
- Capture Visual Data: Record clear video or still images for maintenance documentation.
Because the Poo Pit’s interior is seamless and corrosion-resistant, images are cleaner, and any debris or buildup is easier to identify.
Routine Inspection Checklist
- Inspect riser cover and seal integrity.
- Confirm no surface settlement or cracks around the access area.
- Verify that inlets and outlets are debris-free.
- Record inspection date and findings for asset management.
The ROI of Routine Maintenance
Regular inspections reduce emergency repairs, extend system life, and prove compliance during audits. Combined with the Poo Pit’s 100-year lifespan and sealed design, routine camera checks ensure peak performance for decades without ever stepping underground.
Now that’s what the Poo Pit’s all about, especially when it comes to disrupting the status quo.
