Brickwork for manholes

Manholes can be constructed using different materials, e.g. concrete and even plastics. However, their raising section are predominantly constructed using brickwork, even though pre-cast concrete sections are also sometimes used. In addition, historically manholes have been constructed using bricks entirely, and the practice continues to date. Bricks can be laid Read more…

Laser levels in construction

Have you ever wondered how tall structures, like the one below, stand vertically, I mean, really vertically? That is because today’s construction engineers use various levelling and distance measurement instruments to keep buildings and structures to their intended form and shape. Imagine using the tech of the olden days to Read more…

Manhole calculations

Manhole is a multi-purpose access point to underground utilities, like sewers and water supply, hence is an integral part of civil infrastructure. Depending on the underground material transport or flow design, the elevation of pipes and channels will vary throughout the network. Hence, at the access points where manholes are Read more…
