Inspection Chambers

The manhole concept has remained unchanged for more than 100 years. The basic function was to provide an access point into sewer or storm drain systems that is large enough to allow people to enter it and perform inspection and cleaning procedures manually. Due to technology advances, the need for entry into a manhole to perform routine maintenance operations has almost disappeared.

More than fifteen years ago leading European companies have introduced non-man entry sewer and storm drain network access chamber systems. During the last decade non-man entry Inspection Chambers have replaced more than 40% of traditional manholes installed in Europe. As the leader in the industry, Pipelife has developed a complete Inspection Chamber product range to follow the technological advances in both function and materials. Since historically the longterm performance of concrete, particularly in corrosive environments, has not met its expectations, the need for a polymer Inspection Chamber System has increased. PVC/PP sewer pipes have gained the major portion of the sewer and storm drain system market, so it’s natural to make the change to a polymer IC system. They provide a long lasting, cost effective alternative to concrete, and also reduce the dangers involved in human entry into confined spaces.

Pipelife IC system is designed to provide access into sewer or storm drain systems for inspection, cleaning and sampling. Inspection Chamber System allows carry out all maintenance work from the ground level. Common uses include:

    		• TV inspection access points
    		• line clean-out access
    		• interim access points in long pipe sections
    		• effluent sampling stations
    		• monitoring pits


    Designed to accommodate efficient easy entry and survey of collection systems with Closed Circuit Television (CCTV).
