The Perfect Manhole
Manhole design and construction has remained unchanged for many years.
Specifiers, designers and contractors now have to consider various elements including build quality, speed of construction, health and safety issues and water tightness.
After an extensive research programme Milton has introduced the Perfect Manhole System, to meet the challenges of modern day construction. This Milton off-site solution comprises a precast manhole base available pre-benched in any configuration within just days of requisition, and in addition, sealed chamber rings with a thicker wall, rubber joint and sealed cover slab.
This unique system of products combine to form the Perfect Manhole designed and manufactured to last 120 years.
