... production of wet-cast monolithic concrete manhole bases A technology that is celebrating over 10 years of success in Europe, is now becoming increasingly popular in North America: monolithic concrete manhole bases made in only one pour with customised channel configurations are accepted state of the art when it comes to precision and component quality. Now, yet another well-known manufacturer, namely Fortier 2000 Ltée, a company based near by the eastern Canadian metropolis of Québec, reacted to the changing requirements on the market at the start of this year by commencing production of wet-cast concrete manhole bases using the Perfect production system, which has been successfully implemented all over the world. The Perfect method, which was developed by the Austrian technology developer Schlüsselbauer Technology, for the production of custom-made wet cast monolithic concrete manhole bases, impresses with its optimised use of resources and the associated sustainable and economical nature of the production process as a whole. The mono bases, which are manufactured exclusively from flowing concrete and hardened in the mould in accordance with customised channel configurations, are also characterised by their precise geometry and very good hydraulics. Thanks to the use of the newly-purchased technology, Fortier 2000 Ltée is, with immediate effect, able to supply its customers with tailormade, monolithically-produced manhole bases of very high quality.
