Manholes play an important role in city and rural infrastructure by redirecting sewer lines and other wastewater to treatment plants or other such facilities. Workers can investigate problems along the line and make repairs or perform maintenance at these junction points.
Manholes used to have flat bases in the not-too-distant past. As wastewater entered, the base filled up until it reached the height of the openings that carried it down the line. This meant that debris in the line could become entangled on the opening’s edge, slowly accumulating and causing obstructions to the flow.
There was a solution: send someone down with a bucket of concrete to hand-carve channels that directed wastewater or sewage directly to the outgoing pipe. This reduced the opening’s bottom edge, resulting in fewer snags and improved flow of wastewater and sewage.
These channels were an improvement over the monobase manholes, but they still had flaws. While the channels were “custom-built” for each line coming in or going out, alignment is nearly impossible. This meant that material could still become trapped where the channel and manhole met, albeit at a much lower rate.
The manually created channels were also poured into position. This means that the mixture, weather conditions, and sufficient time to strengthen must all be ideal for the best results. Unfortunately, because working inside a manhole wasn’t ideal, these hand-made channels frequently needed to be re-cast or repaired over time.

The Ideal Solution
The Perfect Base was created by improving on the idea of creating channels, as well as adding more strength and requiring less maintenance. These manhole bases improved flow, reduced the number of blockages, and made sewer and wastewater lines more efficient by adhering to exact specifications.
Manholes are built to specific dimensions in India, and around the world. A manhole base form can be created and used during the construction of a manhole by entering these dimensions into a computer. In addition to the size of the manhole, pipe openings will be created.

The Benefits of Precast Concrete Perfect Bases
Your sewer system is built to last a century with precast concrete bases. As a result, there will be fewer repairs, replacements, and other service calls. Manholes are lasting longer as concrete technology advances. Microbial induced corrosion can also be combated with additives, making the manhole even more durable.
Because precast concrete is an environmentally friendly material, cities that require “green” infrastructure will welcome it. You can be confident when bidding on a project that requires this designation when you use Arto Precast. We received SMaRT certification within a few months of opening in September of 2019.
Arto Precast considered everything when designing our precast facility. We can recycle or reuse wastewater and materials in a controlled environment. Because of its durability, concrete is an environmentally friendly product. We even select our partners based on their location and environmental commitment.
