Plastic Manholes: A Revolutionary, Eco-Friendly, and Infinitely Durable Solution in the Construction Sector

---

Today's modern urbanization and infrastructure projects demand not just short-term solutions, but also **durable, eco-friendly, and long-lasting systems** that will be passed down to future generations. Facing the challenges and environmental concerns posed by traditional concrete manholes, **plastic manholes** are leading a silent revolution in the construction sector. As akpls, with years of experience and innovative production power, we are at the forefront of this transformation, offering solutions that protect nature and have an almost infinite lifespan.

akpls's special **nano™ series plastic manholes** stand out with their lightweight structure, unique leak-tightness, and environmentally conscious production. These systems are steadily becoming indispensable for all infrastructure projects, eliminating the disadvantages of concrete manholes such as difficult installation processes, heavy structure, and lack of flexibility.

Why Are Plastic Manholes Replacing Concrete?

---

Concrete manholes, due to their heavy structure, complex installation, and limited flexibility, fall short in meeting the speed and efficiency expectations of modern projects. Plastic manholes, however, overcome these challenges with their superior advantages:

  • Lightweight and Easy Installation:
    • Being **up to 80% lighter** than concrete manholes, plastic manholes revolutionize transportation and placement. They can be easily maneuvered even in confined spaces, reducing the need for heavy equipment and speeding up the installation process.
    • Installation time can be **up to 60% shorter**, leading to faster project completion and significant savings in labor costs.
  • Superior Durability and Chemical Resistance:
    • Produced from **PP (Polypropylene) Raw Material**, akpls manholes exhibit exceptional resistance to chemical and environmental effects. They do not degrade when exposed to acids, bases, corrosive substances in sewage, or harsh underground conditions.
    • Their high flexibility and impact resistance ensure their integrity even against ground movements, seismic activities, or external impacts.
  • Infinitely Durable and Environmental Protection:
    • While the lifespan of concrete manholes is generally limited to 20 years, plastic manholes offer a **much longer, almost infinite service life**. This multiplies the lifespan of infrastructure investments, creating sustainable solutions for the future.
    • Their production from **recyclable raw materials** prevents environmental pollution and helps conserve natural resources.
    • Thanks to their **completely leak-tight structure**, they do not contaminate underground water sources or soil with sewage water. This is vital for protecting the ecosystem and ensuring public health.
  • Corrosion-Free and Maintenance-Free Structure:
    • Since there are no issues with rust or rot, problems like degradation, collapse, and cracking seen in concrete manholes over time do not occur. This minimizes maintenance needs and long-term operating costs.

akpls nano™ Series: Innovative Dimensions for Future Infrastructure

---

At akpls, we combine our industry leadership in plastic manhole production with technological innovations. The **akpls nano™ series** manholes adapt to all types of projects with their variety of sizes and superior features:

  • Diameter Options: We produce in standard and large diameters such as **315 mm, 400 mm, 600 mm, 800 mm, 1000 mm**, offering complete solutions for all infrastructure networks and drainage needs.
  • Application Flexibility: Thanks to adjustable height options and various connection elements, they can be easily integrated into terrains with different depths and slopes.
  • The Injection Production Difference: Similar to our corrugated pipe fittings, we also produce our manhole fittings using the **injection molding method**. Unlike confection methods, this guarantees that the parts combine with perfect dimensional accuracy and durability, thus creating **100% leak-tight and unbreakable connections**.
