This polyethylene maintenance shaft has now surpassed 200K+ installations worldwide, offering a lifetime exceeding 100 years with zero recorded failures. Its airtight design eliminates the need for confined-space entry, one of the highest-risk maintenance scenarios, making worker safety a top priority.
Key to its success is versatility. The Poo Pit supports up to four inlet connections at any angle and grade, without additional alignment fittings, and comes complete with pre-fabricated pipes for fast, streamlined installation. This lightweight and corrosion-resistant design cuts excavation needs and transport weight, reducing costs across the project lifecycle.
Adoption is spreading quickly. The City of Pilot Point, TX, recently installed its first Poo Pit and reported substantially lower labor costs, up to 90% less, than a traditional concrete manhole, reinforcing the solution’s economic advantage.
The Poo Pit family includes:
- Poo Pit– 12" diameter riser shaft; ideal as a direct replacement for traditional access chambers.
- Mini Pit – 24" riser; great for systems with spatial limitations.
- Smart Pit – 40" riser; allows for surface access with individuals, while maintaining full polyethylene, airtight construction—ideal for smart infrastructure applications.
Bottom Line: Poo Pit is redefining wastewater infrastructure with a product that is safer, more durable, more adaptable, and more cost-effective than traditional alternatives. Municipalities and contractors are embracing it, driven by its unmatched performance and long-term value.
