An example we would like to highlight as an engineered, innovative solution is the “Easibase” which is an alternative to a standard concrete ring and offers reduced health & safety risk, reduced labour costs and is environmentally friendly.  The product name is the F.P.McCann Easibase. The costs savings are achieved mainly through reduced labour costs

Easi-Base addresses a long-standing problem associated with traditional methods of manhole construction which were 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.

• WRc approved and accepted by main UK Water Authorities
• Significant Health and Safety benefits.
• An immediate watertight structure allowing for other trades to instantly follow on.
• Factory pre-fabrication provides quality finish to channeling and benching and enables accurate combinations and variations for entry/exit pipes.
• 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.
• Environmental benefits include both a reduction in excavated materials and imported ready mixed concrete and mortar.
• An 80 year guaranteed system.

Features of Easi-Base:
