Easi-Base addresses a long-standing problem associated with traditional methods of manhole construction. Labour intensive, in-situ practices typically taking up to 36 hours are eliminated by the fully integrated unit which can be installed and connected in a matter of minutes. The DN 1200 precast concrete base complete with channels and benching formed into a polypropylene liner is placed on a formation comprising compacted granular material. Pipe connection is made simple with connection bells cast into the base for the specific pipe in use, thus allowing the ground worker to simply push...

• An extremely fast, efficient and economical method of constructing manhole bases on site. • Accepted by main UK Water Authorities • Significant Health and Safety benefits. • An immediate watertight structure allowing for other trades to instantly follow on. • actory pre-fabrication provides quality finish to channelling and benching and enables accurate combinations and variations for entry/exit pipes. F • Connects with any type of pipe and is compatible with the new DN1200 130mm wide wall chamber ring • Maintenance of channels and benches aided by clean access for inspection. •...

Easi-Base range FP McCann supply Easi-Base in 3 main diameters: • DN1200 • DN1500 • DN1800 Pipe Sizes accommodated by FP McCann Easi-Base Range Pipe Size (mm) * (Ireland Only)

The unique DN 1200 Easi-Base utilises a polypropylene liner with prefabricated benching and channels. Pipe connection bells are pushed into the inlet and outlet points and the liner is then encased and embedded in concrete to provide its structural strength and integrity. The DN1200 Easi-Base is manufactured as a monolithic precast unit; it utilises the standard manhole tongue and groove joint and is ready for immediate use in combination with either a standard 90mm thick manhole chamber, or the new 130mm thick wide wall chamber ring. Unit weights vary between 1.5 tonnes and 2.5 tonnes...

PREDL clock system Specifying and ordering your Easi-Base unit Combinations and variants in entry pipe diameters and orientations can be chosen from the PREDL Clock diagram (opposite). When ordering it is important to remember that the ‘P’ refers to the position of the outlet leading from the manhole. All other orientations are specified as a reference from the ‘P’ position; the next reference is then given as the main channel; each inlet is then referenced firstly by largest diameter, then by numerical order. Please see the examples below. Examples • P5 is a DN1200 Easi-Base with...

DN 1500 DN 1800 Easi-Bases FP McCann produce Easi-Bases in DN1500 and DN1800 diameters to compliment our existing manhole ranges. DN1500 - DN1800 Easi-Bases are produced as monolithic units utilising standard manhole tongue and groove joints for connection with standard manhole chambers. These units are produced wholly from concrete and provide a variety of connection orientations specified using the Predl Clock System, and accommodate concrete, clay, twinwall and uPVC pipe. DN1500 and DN1800 Easi-Bases are a bespoke item manufactured to order. The following table gives the dimensions...

Eye bolts / lifting loops are supplied with each unit and when screwed into the sockets are used to lift. Used with aid of chains this system will avoid damage during handling and also negates the requirement to have...

Wide wall manhole chambers FP McCann wide wall manholes have been designed with a tongue and groove dimension to accommodate the use of bituminous sealant. An F P McCann approved sealant should be used at all times. The sealant requirement for wide wall manholes is 12mm x 120mm x 6m. When placing sealing strip into position during installation, the ends of the strips must be overlapped by a minimum of 30mm and cut at an angle of 60 degree. The cut ends must then be pressed together. Full installation guidelines can be provided upon request or found at www.fpmccann.co.uk DN 1200mm Wide Wall...
