The average construction time for field built concrete manholes is 2-3 weeks plus time to pipe and finish the inside. Using precast sections might save 1 week of time.
Rovanco steel manholes can be installed in 1 day, as much as 5x’s faster to complete installation from start to finish than concrete manholes. This means steel manholes can cost as little as ½ as much as concrete manholes.
Rovanco has been building Pre-Engineered, Pre-Fabricated Steel Manholes since 1982. Our manholes are custom built so interiors can be manufactured to meet your precise needs and specifications. They arrive ready to set in place & connect to exterior piping.
