Supporting Australia’s critical infrastructure for over 30 years

Manhole Form Hire featured in the 20th edition of the Australian Local Government Infrastructure Yearbook.

Since 1994, Manhole Form Hire has been helping civil contractors and councils deliver critical infrastructure projects with reliable in-situ concrete formwork, practical expertise and a commitment to safety.


We’re proud to be featured in the 20th edition of the Australian Local Government Infrastructure Yearbook, a publication highlighting the infrastructure, services and solutions supporting local government across Australia.


Our article, Supporting critical infrastructure projects for more than 30 years, explores how Manhole Form Hire continues to support the industry with quality equipment, practical advice and responsive service.


From drainage structures and water reticulation projects to major pump stations and large access chambers, our extensive range of certified steel forms provides versatile solutions for projects of all sizes. With branches in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast, our team works closely with customers to find the right formwork for each application and help keep projects moving.


Safety and innovation remain central to what we do. Our patented manhole scaffold system and stair access solution reflect our ongoing commitment to improving site access and helping crews work more safely and efficiently.


More than a hire company, we see ourselves as a trusted partner to the contractors and councils delivering essential infrastructure in their communities.


We invite you to read our published article to learn more about our experience, our approach and how Manhole Form Hire continues to support Australia's civil construction industry.


Thank you to our customers and industry partners for being part of our journey. We look forward to supporting the next generation of infrastructure projects.
