The Smart Pit: When Personnel Access is Mandatory
The Smart Pit is the largest of the Quickstream product line, with a riser section diameter of 40”. The lower half of the body geometry is the same as The Poo Pit™ but the upper half of the body expands outwards to connect to the 100% polyethylene construction riser section. There is an integrated standing platform inside the body cavity that allows personnel to safely stand above the sewer flow during confined entry events.
At grade there are two finishing options for The Smart Pit™: there is a cone-like lid for the structure that reduces to a 24” opening, similar to concrete manhole cone sections, or there is a custom concrete ring that allows the 40” riser section to be carried up to grade and uses a standard concrete flat top lid. Both options are designed to use a standard cast iron frame and cover.
Every Smart Pit™ is air tested prior to leaving the factory to ensure sure that all seams are watertight.
