Sewerage, drainage, and electrical utilities: these are all vital underground systems in our homes and businesses, and each one of them needs its own manhole for easy access and maintenance. Manholes can come in all shapes, sizes, and uses for your underground networks or utilities, but why use custom manhole forms to build them?

Well, there are a number of reasons why using custom manhole forms will be a benefit for your underground manhole systems, which we’ll explore in greater detail here.

Manholes are primarily used for one of 6 reasons:

1. Sewer access

Whether you have an emergency and need immediate sewer access, or if you just have to perform routine maintenance, an access chamber is critical. They'll give you a fast and easy route from the surface to the sewers each time you need it.

2. Inspection chambers 

Inspection chambers give people a safe and secure way to get to utilities or gas lines. For areas like Logan and Ipswich or Wollongong, manhole lids create a seamless and solid divider between the street and the utility or gas lines. They give you a space to pop in and perform routine inspections to make sure the lines function as they should and that there are no weak points.

3. Routine maintenance 

A maintenance hole is something you want to have no matter what you're trying to access, from sewers to utilities to gas lines. Our manhole form hire allows you to build your maintenance holes quickly and easily in Port Macquarie, Gold Coast or Ballina quickly and safely.

4. Safety 

Manhole covers are solid enough to walk and drive over. They also create a barrier that keeps the population out of areas like the sewer or away from utility lines where they're not supposed to be. Our manhole form hire offers manhole covers that fit securely to your manhole form.

5. New construction

If you're out in Canberra or Toowoomba and you need to construct new sewer or utility lines, access chambers are a must have. These chambers will allow your workers to get to the sewer or utility lines to finish the construction and inspect them to ensure they're in top shape.

 6. Cleaning and debris removal 

Sewers will eventually have clogs or problems that must be cleared out to ensure that the sewer is working properly. A manhole gives you an access point to get into the sewers, find the problem, and bring any debris back out.
