Industrial pit (manhole) systems are steel construction solutions designed to provide safe, organized and controlled access to below-floor areas in production facilities, maintenance zones, machinery areas, drainage lines and technical spaces.
Each system is custom-designed according to opening dimensions, depth, load capacity, vehicle traffic, frequency of use and operating conditions.
An industrial pit (manhole) is a structural system designed to provide controlled access to underground utilities, drainage systems, maintenance areas or other technical spaces below floor level.
Depending on project requirements, the system may include:
Helps safely secure below-floor technical areas and creates more controlled pedestrian and operational zones.
Provides suitable load-bearing solutions for areas used by forklifts, pallet trucks and service vehicles.
Helps maintain continuous and organized floor routes in production and logistics areas.
Provides controlled access to technical installations, drainage lines and below-floor equipment for inspection and maintenance.
Helps prevent parts, equipment, production waste and foreign materials from entering below-floor technical spaces.
Existing systems can be renewed, extended, reinforced or reconfigured according to changing operational requirements.
Fixed systems designed for technical areas that do not require frequent access.
Provide safe opening and closing for areas requiring regular inspection or maintenance access.
Allow large or specially shaped areas to be constructed using multiple manageable modules.
Designed with horizontally moving access systems for locations where vertical opening clearance is limited.
Used in technical areas where drainage, ventilation or liquid passage is required.
Designed with reinforced load-bearing structures for areas exposed to forklifts, vehicles or heavy equipment traffic.
Each project is individually evaluated according to pit geometry, load requirements, intended use and site conditions.
Pit dimensions, floor structure, edge supports, traffic type, technical requirements and surrounding equipment are evaluated on site.
The frame, support profiles, cover or grating modules, hinges, sliding mechanisms, locks and lifting components are determined. Technical drawings are then prepared.
Profiles, steel sheets, gratings and connection components are cut, processed, bent and welded according to project dimensions.
Paint, galvanizing or other protective coatings suitable for the operating environment are applied. Dimensions, welds, bearing surfaces and access mechanisms are inspected.
Steel structures, frames and other system components are delivered to the site, aligned and secured, and all necessary mechanism adjustments are completed.
Structural integrity, floor compatibility, cover or grating seating, locking elements and overall site suitability are inspected before the system is handed over ready for use.
Over time, existing industrial pit systems may experience deformation, corrosion, loose connections, damaged covers or gratings, and insufficient load-bearing capacity.
Following a technical assessment, the following modifications can be carried out:
Materials and surface treatments are selected according to load capacity, traffic type, drainage requirements and operating conditions.
Form the main frame and support structure. Profile sections are selected according to opening dimensions, depth and required load capacity.
Suitable for high pedestrian and equipment traffic where a closed, anti-slip surface is required.
Suitable for applications requiring drainage, ventilation and corrosion resistance.
Can be used where both anti-slip properties and liquid drainage are required.
Provides long-term corrosion protection for outdoor and humid environments.
Can be used in specialized areas requiring hygiene, frequent washing or high corrosion resistance.
Projects are not based on standard dimensions; each system is designed according to pit geometry, depth, load conditions, frequency of use and site layout.
Site survey, design, steel fabrication, surface treatment and installation are managed within an integrated process. Fixed, covered, grated, sliding and modular system options can be developed to suit existing industrial facilities.
No. Each system is custom-designed according to opening dimensions, depth, load capacity, intended use and site conditions.
Yes. Heavy-duty systems can be designed according to vehicle weight and wheel loads.
Yes. Depending on access frequency and available space, fixed, hinged, assisted, sliding or removable access systems can be used.
Yes. Hot-dip galvanizing or suitable protective coatings can be applied for outdoor operating conditions.
Yes. Supporting frames, covers, gratings, hinges, locks and anchors can be renewed, modified or reinforced.
Yes. Frame fixing, steel structure installation, cover or grating installation, mechanism adjustment and final inspections can be included within the project scope.
Industrial pit (manhole) systems can be technically assessed and engineered according to opening dimensions, depth, required load capacity and operating conditions.
