1 Coming Structures > Manholes> KO Pots> Sumps> Tanks> Valve Boxes > Pump StationsYour Single Industries produces polyethylene manholes, themost trouble-free manholes for a long service is tough! It canbend and flex with variousloading conditions. Thistoughness means fewerpotential leaks and longer polyethylene man-holes are easy to pieces of equipmentcan be used to position thesemanholes. Inlets and outletsare correctly positioned dur-ing the manufacturingprocess. These inlets andoutlets are factory weldedinto place to be offers a widerange of chemical resistance to acids, bases, and many organic compounds.

Hydrogen sulfide is convertedto sulfuric acid, which attacks concrete and eventually destroys concrete manholes and pipe. Thecorrosion resistance of polyethylene and its toughness make it a natural for manholes.

4 Polyethylenemanholes remain leak-free because there is no chemical attack. The toughness of polyethyleneeliminates the chance of cracking during installation. There is no infiltration of external ground water,reducing the amount of treatment required. There is no exfiltration of sewage to the APPLICATION - Leachate Collection and TransportISCO Industries fabricates manholes and other special purpose HDPE Structures for landfills. HDPE manholes are used as cleanouts and valve boxes. They are also used in place of concrete man-holes in leachate transport chemical resistance of HDPE manholes is very important in landfill applications. Leachateattacks concrete and metal because of its acidic nature.

5 HDPE is virtually inert to most dilute acidsand garbage is added to a landfill, the loads increase and materials shift. The toughness andstrength of HDPE is important. HDPE pipe and manholes are proven in these stringent density polyethylene valve boxAPPLICATIONS4 APPLICATIONSCHEMICAL PLANTSP lants with corrosive chemicals in their under-ground pipes are experiencing the benefits ofcorrosion resistant, high-density polyethylenepipe with flanged manhole connections. As aresult, a very tight system is achieved. ISCOI ndustries manholes are engineered to fit precisely and all joints are welded to pulp and paper industry is a frequent userof HDPE pipes and manholes.

6 The effluent ismost often corrosive and may also be abrasiveas well. Since high density polyethylene pipeand manholes are corrosion and abrasionresistant, they work well for many industrialand chemical manholes can provide a low-point forthe annular space in dual containment pipingsystem. The low point sump can then bemonitored to provide leak detection or to con-tain a float switch or level sensor used as aswitch. Wellhead vaults are another common use of HDPE prefabricated manholes are avail-able from ISCO Industries. Valves, cleanouts,check valves, low-point and other leak detec-tion components are available pre-installed inthe manhole as Constructed withButt Fused Bottom and TopREMEDIATION SITESHDPE manholes have become the standard atmany remediation and clean up sites.

7 Whenhazardous fluids are being transported, thenon-corrosive, leak-free HDPE manholes canbe specified with use for HDPE manholes is valve contain-ment. The manhole prevents small leaks fromescaping into the environment and full accessprovides a maintenance advantage. Oftencleanouts are contained in these Well Head ManholeAPPLICATIONS5 APPLICATIONSSPECIAL PURPOSEHDPE manholes from ISCO Industries serve many specialized purposes. Whatever your applicationrequirements, a custom designed HDPE manhole structure could be the answer. Many hazardousand/or toxic materials-handling problems are solved by using HDPE fabricated picture below shows an HDPE knock-out pot used for condensing moisture from landfill methane is the largest component of landfill gas, moisture must be removed to burn or purifythis gas.

8 The HDPE knock out pot is used to dry the gas before it is burned in landfill flare is also removed for use in state of the art landfill gas recovery Methane Knock- Out PotAPPLICATIONS6 APPLICATIONSVALVE BOXESThe protection of valves and flow measure-ment instrumentation is another excellent useof HDPE manholes. These valve boxes alloweasy access to your valves, flow instrumenta-tion, pressure gauges, sample ports,cleanouts, and other piping system compo-nents. HDPE manholes can be fabricated asunits with all valve and instrumentation compo-nents factory installed to make on site installa-tion fast and easy. Pump stations, wet wellsand well heads are cost effective uses ofHDPE manhole Structures .

9 Since HDPE is avery tough ductile material, it is unaffected bypump vibration when properly installed. Thesestructures can also accommodate various leakdetection 1 Dual Contained Valve Operating ManholeDUAL CONTAINMENT MANHOLESDual Containment manholes provide many additional options for configuration. This bringschallenges for the design engineer. ISCO canhelp you choose the most effective configurationfor your can be used as an extended annularspace providing several leak detection configuration also provides for valve containment. Often the carrier pipe from doublewall piping will continue through the manholeitself. This allows piping system equipment,such as flow control and measurement devices,to be installed in a structure that serves as acontainment p ViewOSHA LadderCarrier WallContainment WallContainment PipeCarrier PipeSample / Pump-OutPortFlange & Backup RingMANHOLES DESIGN AND INSTALLATION STANDARDSISCO Industries recommends that HDPE man-holes be designed and installed in accordancewith ASTM F 1759-97, Standard Practice forDesign of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)Manholes for Subsurface Applications.

10 Thisstandard addresses the material, structuraldesign requirements of the manhole barrel,floor (or bottom) and standard assumes that the HDPE manholewill be installed in backfill consisting of Class Ior Class II material as defined in ASTM D2321, which has been compacted to a mini-mum of 90% standard proctor density. Thebackfill should extend feet from the perime-ter of the manhole for the full height of themanhole. This extends laterally to undisturbedsoil. Manholes should be placed on a base ofstable soil, a concrete base, or should be 12 inches in depth and have95% standard proctor density. The foundationmaterials must provide adequate bearingstrength for the manhole and downdrag used in landfills and other areaswhich experience soil settlement will requirespecial designs.
