Description
Manhole Risers are used when regrading roads and repaving surfaces. Manhole risers and extension rings are a cost effective way to bring existing manhole frame covers and manhole frames and grates to grade. Manhole risers are made in cast iron, mild steel and can be also come furnished in adjustable patterns. We carry various different municipal standards and size specifications. Manhole riser installation is fast, quick and relatively easier opposed to installing a brand new manhole cover.
Manhole Extension Rings are for use on resurfacing projects to raise the elevation of the existing manhole without changing the frame. Extension Rings are easy to install, cost effective and are durable.
