The most frequently asked questions are: cost, floating
concerns, installation, traffic applications and product life.
FLOTATION: All HUGE PE manholes are constructed with anti-flotation
rings. The possibility of flotation will be eliminated as long as the
back fill is compacted and the unit is properly installed. HUGE provides
installation guidelines to customers for a correct installation.

INSTALLATION: Installation is where HUGE PE manholes have an edge
over the competition. These lightweight parts can be easily installed by
two workers without any need of heavy construction equipment; reducing
the installation time, increasing safety, and cutting costs. For rapid
installation, pipe connections are made with standard water tight and
flexible fittings.
TRAFFIC APPLICATIONS: HUGE manhole cone sections are made with a
neck that can be cut to grade. In applications where traffic load is
high, a cast-iron traffic- frame and lid must be installed. HUGE
manholes have a concrete collar around the neck and lid, which allows
the surrounding area to bear the weight of the traffic loads.
PRODUCT LIFE: By using HUGE manholes, our customers are buying a
unique product package that has no equal in quality, flexibility, ease
of installation and product life. Rotationally-molded virgin PE produces
a superior product that is unequaled in the market today. It is chemical
and corrosion resistant; it is easily adaptable to site conditions and
virtually eliminates the hazards, delays and costs normally associated
with conventional manhole installation.
