A constructed precast concrete manhole is a strong, durable structure with its own inherent strength and does not require a concrete surround.

Polypropylene coated mild steel double steps to BS EN 13101 are fitted to manhole sections when required. Stainless steel steps available upon request.

Note:
  1. DN 900 and DN 1050 are the only slabs in which a 600x600 access complies with the European Standard
  2. All slabs detailed are Type 2
  3. Weights available on request as they are dependant on the access size
  4. Non standard slabs and accesses can be designed and supplied to order
  5. DN 3660 cover slab is supplied in 3 sections
  6. DN 4000 cover slabs can be supplied in 2 or 3 sections dependant on the opening required
  7. All accesses have 75 x 75 corner chamfers
  8. All cover slabs are "heavy duty" and are suitable for use in main roads

Reducing Slabs

Standard reducing slabs are available and supplied to suit the various chamber sections, from DN 1050 to DN 3000, and have a 900, 1050 or 1200mm diameter circular access. DN 3660 and 4000 reducing slabs are also available but are not covered by the European Standard.

Landing Slabs

Landing slabs to suit DN 1500 chamber section and above can be supplied with a 900mm circular access.

Preformed Chambers

Reducing construction time and resources required on site is a continual challenge and opportunity to manufacturers and distributors. JDP strive to be involved in the latest advances in new and existing materials and technologies which offer engineers solutions.

Preformed chambers provide a sealed system for waste water management in manhole construction, replacing the need for the groundworker to form on site. Can also be used for surface water.

Preformed Manholes

  • Creates an immediate watertight structure
  • Clean access for inspection, reduces maintenance and running costs
  • Accommodates all combinations and variations in entry / exit pipes
  • Reduced labour activity in manhole, improves safety
  • Eliminates material wastage associated with in-situ method
  • Eliminates effects of poor site practice and weather conditions
  • HDPE version can be made bespoke to full chamber height for a complete off site solution
  • Concrete version accepts manhole rings to create chamber

Preformed Catchpits

This chamber provides a sealed sump manhole which can be connected with adaptors to uPVC, twinwall, clay, ductile iron and concrete pipes.

  • Creates an immediate watertight structure
  • Limited wet trades required in manhole construction
  • Accommodates all types of pipes used in manhole construction
  • Reduced labour activity in manhole
  • Eliminates material wastage associated with in-situ method
  • HDPE version can be made bespoke to full chamber height for a complete off site solution
  • Concrete version accepts manhole rings to create chamber
