What is the chemical resistance of plastic manholes in sewer pipelines?
Plastic manholes can withstand all chemicals which normally occur in sewers, and therefore are regarded as very durable.
- They are more durable then concrete manholes as there can be no chemical attack of biogenic sulphuric acid in the form of corrosion.
- In most EU-countries there is a trend of separation of sewer systems in black (foul) water and rain water. In practice this means that the concentration of chemicals in the sewer system will increase.
- Reviewing the standards as specified below there is no chemical attack to be expected.
