Perfect Manhole System / 1800mm After the successful introduction of the 1200mm and 1500mm perfect manhole system, CPM has developed an 1800mm sealed manhole that can be used for precast concrete pipes up to 900mm diameter. The system includes a cast-in base and incorporates the concrete butt pipes into the chamber base and pipe channel; this only leaves the benching to be completed on site. By leaving the benching out of the base element, the weight of the unit is reduced to between 5.0 and 5.5 tonnes depending upon the configuration. Deeper manholes are accommodated by using a reducing slab...

CPM Perfect Installation Guide Introduction This guide offers advice on how to install the CPM Perfect Manhole system incorporating a load bearing elastomeric seal known as a ‘sealed manhole’ system. The system provides a manhole whereby all joints and connections have elastomeric seals enabling a watertight manhole to be constructed quickly and easily with the minimum of site work. Manholes are consequently installed in a similar manner to pipes requiring a different technique to traditional manhole construction. The wall thickness being over 125mm means that the installed manhole does not require...
