Billings, Montana

Billings faces a unique set of wastewater challenges with harsh winters, freezing temperatures, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. These circumstances can put significant stress on traditional concrete manholes, often leading to costly repairs and maintenance delays. The Poo Pit offers a solution designed to withstand these conditions and protect both infrastructure and workers.

Constructed from durable polyethylene, the Poo Pit is impervious to corrosion and freeze damage, with an expected lifespan of 100 years, roughly three times longer than conventional concrete manholes. This durability ensures fewer repairs over time, saving municipalities both labor and material costs.

Installation is fast and efficient. Each Poo Pit unit can be set in about 15 minutes, requiring minimal equipment and reducing labor exposure in harsh weather. The Poo Pit’s advantages, long lifespan, resistance to freeze-thaw damage, rapid installation, cost savings, and safer maintenance, translate directly to the city’s environment and infrastructure needs.

By adopting the Poo Pit, the city has protected its aging infrastructure, reduced costs, and kept maintenance crews safe, even through the most extreme winter conditions.
