Manholes

Manhole risers with the NPCA Certified Plant logo painted on them are stacked in a product yard.

Precast concrete manholes are an integral component of any modern sewer system. Manhole sections are produced in a controlled environment, thus exhibiting high quality and uniformity. A properly designed and installed precast concrete manhole system provides superior watertight performance and will provide the long-term solution you need.
