If the round manhole form you’re looking to use suddenly requires a short notice variation to accommodate multiple pipes adjacent to each other, don’t despair. Perhaps your digger has uncovered inlets that are spread a little far apart. But you won’t have to worry about long wait times as you organise a correct fit. You can rely on elongated forms (also known as extended forms) to fully accommodate the configuration of pipes into your manhole, and instantly get your project back on track.

It's paramount that your manhole form fits exactly to the correct size you need, whether you’re creating a manhole for sewage, stormwater, or any hardware. For various types of manhole functions and sizes, elongated forms can slot in wherever you need them. The greatest part about using elongated forms on your project is that they can be adapted to meet your measurement specifications with fast adjustments and minimal preparation. Because we value flexibility, Manhole Form Hire offers elongated forms all across Australia.
When using manhole forms for a range of varied applications, you may find that one size does not suit all. In these moments where you’re scrambling to find a way to refit your forms, extended forms will prove extremely useful. Extended forms are longer versions of your average round manhole form and serve to customise your existing form size to exactly what you need, meaning you can get back to work without any project delays.
It’s important that any manholes you’re pouring suit the correct size and accessibility required for their service. If you’re pouring a standard round manhole and realise that you need to change the shape or size of your forms to an extended form, you should reconnect panels correctly so the edges of the panels remain flush against one another. Ensure that you don’t split the forms at the keys, as key edges are angled and must connect with like panels. If you’re looking to utilise elongated forms for your project, Manhole Form Hire offers these extension panels for your convenience.
Still confused? Here’s an explanation video that walks you through the process and includes visual representations of how to complete every step, as well as exactly where you should avoid splitting.
If you’re wondering how to use elongated forms for your projects, here’s a step-by-step walk through:
If you’re looking to expand or extend your manhole forms and you are tight on time, extended forms are the perfect tool to safeguard your project pipeline. Don’t waste time worrying about resizing your forms and going back and forth to find the right fit, utilise the malleable functionality of elongated forms and bypass all the hassle.
