Component range
Identify the manhole components, dimensions and connection details required.
UNDERGROUND NETWORKS
Manhole component moulds
Plan manhole production as a family of components. Rings, bases and transition pieces can have different geometry and handling needs. Share the required components with Param to define the moulds and equipment scope.

Pipes, manholes & culvert moulds
Plan around your actual product mix and existing plant. South African precast terminology includes manholes, stormwater pipes, catchpits and rectangular portal culverts. A portal culvert is a particular configuration, not a synonym for every closed box culvert. Share metric drawings and the specified product requirements.
Specify manhole sections and stormwater catchpits by their intended function. Existing joint profiles and handling equipment should be included in the mould brief.
- Product schedule, specified requirements and joint profiles
- Box or portal culvert geometry and existing mould interfaces
- Available utilities, handling, curing and installation scope

Define the equipment scope
Think beyond a single machine.
Mould configuration
Review mould and core arrangements for the proposed geometry and production method.
Handling & release
Consider component lifting, stripping and movement into the curing area.

you need to make.
These details help us understand your project and prepare a relevant equipment discussion.
Prepare your enquiry- Component list and dimensioned drawings
- Diameter, height, wall thickness and joint profiles
- Openings, steps and other cast-in features
- Reinforcement and project requirements
- Expected mix of components and handling method
Dimensions, capacity, output and supplied features are confirmed for the selected configuration in the quotation.
Questions, answered
Before you enquire.
What should I include in a manhole system enquiry?
Send a component schedule and drawings for each ring, base or transition piece required. Include joint details, openings and cast-in features so the mould scope is clear.
Are all manhole components made in the same mould?
Different geometries may require separate moulds, cores or inserts. The proposal should clearly identify which components each mould arrangement covers.
Can the system be planned alongside pipe production?
Discuss shared factory resources such as concrete supply, lifting, reinforcement preparation and curing space. Equipment compatibility needs to be checked for the specific setup.
