Concrete manholes require multiple steps that extend installation time. Crews must coordinate heavy equipment, including cranes and lifting rigs, to position sections weighing thousands of pounds. After placement, concrete needs time to cure properly before it can safely handle load, often resulting in multiple days per manhole. Confined space safety regulations add additional labor hours, as workers must follow strict protocols for entry, ventilation, and monitoring. These factors compound, creating delays in project schedules, traffic disruptions, and added costs for municipalities.
Any and every hour saved on installation reduced municipal disruption and cost. Quick installs minimize road closures, reduce overtime expenses and allow contractors to complete multiple projects in the time frame it used to take one. Faster deployments also improve emergency response capabilities, and cities can replace and replace compromised manholes quickly following floods/storms and other system failures.
Poo Pit’s polyethylene access chambers are engineered to drastically reduce installation time without sacrificing durability. The single-piece, lightweight chambers install in around 15 minutes, requiring minimal equipment and fewer personnel with no need for cranes or extended curing times. Additionally, crews can maintain the system with reduced confined space entry, enhancing safety and regulatory compliance at the same time.
For urban projects, faster installations mean less traffic disruption, fewer lane enclosures and more efficient crew deployment across multiple sites. The combination of quick installation, longer lifespans, and reduced maintenance needs allow municipalities to modernize their infrastructure efficiently to save time and taxpayer dollars.
Cities can’t afford bottlenecks in their infrastructure plans. By switching from concrete to Poo Pit, municipalities save time, reduce disruption, and protect taxpayer dollars. Contact us today to see how faster, smarter installations can future-proof your system.
