Maintenance Holes

Concrete maintenance holes are available in two basic shapes: circular and rectangular. Rectangular structures are discussed in our Utility Chamber and Monobox MH pages. Circular maintenance holes are available in nominal inside diameters of 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, 2400mm, 3000mm, and 3600mm. The standard depth of bury for precast maintenance holes are 10m to the base, but designs for deeper applications or different live load conditions are available. The standard riser section heights are available in 300mm increments. Each circular MH section is supplied with a single offset joint and a pre-lubricated rubber gasket.
