Water-meter shafts

All plastic water-meter shafts represent modern and economic replacements of older concrete shafts. They are designed to equip underground water meters and fittings to the underground utilities.

Water-meter shafts are produced of chemically stable and durable polypropylene able to resist any external influences and effects caused by aggressive water.

Water-meter shafts do not necessitate any maintenance and achieve incomparably longer working life than concrete shafts.
They are leakproof and owing to their low weight they are easy to install and handle (machineless mounting). It is possible to stiffen water-meter shafts to sustain the pressure of the soil when embedded in it. If observing installation guidelines, they may be installed anywhere in the terrain (green spaces, communications, pavements etc.).

Water-meter shafts usually come in cylindrical shape. If required, it is possible to produce angular – shaped shafts or non – standard sized shafts (in harmony with the valid legislature). Standard water-meter shafts are equipped with climbing irons and standardized inspection entrance of 600 mm diameter. Water pipe transfer is generally located 10 to 20 cm from the shaft’s bottom. The shaft’s elevation, inner diameter and transfer directions and numbers of respective pipings may be adjusted as required.

Advantages of plastic water-meter shafts:
• long life (incomparably longer than concrete shafts)
• easy service
• fast and easy installation (machineless mounting)
• low construction costs
• 100% leakproof (pursuant to the Slovak Technical Norm 75 0905)
• tailor – made shafts (as required)
• aesthetic design
