From handwork to robot work
A custom manhole used to be handwork, with long waiting times and fewer and fewer skilled people to do it. We translated the manhole into a parametric model. You enter the dimensions and connections, the system instantly calculates the price, material needs and production file, and the robot gets to work.
- Connections exactly at the right position and angle
- Round, square, octagonal or another shape
- Cured and ready for transport after ± 1 week
Made with Robotic Additive Construction, also known as 3D concrete printing. More about 3D concrete printing
Why this manhole
Fast delivery
On site in ± 2 weeks, compared to ± 8 weeks for a traditional custom manhole.
Material where it is needed
We only print material where the structure needs it. That saves ± 20 to 30% in raw materials.
Less dependent on skilled labour
The robot takes over the heavy, time-consuming work. Custom work stays feasible, even with skilled labour in short supply.
No moulds
Every manhole can be different. No mould needs to be made or adapted.
Instant insight
While you configure, the system immediately calculates cost and material needs.
Proven in practice
Applied at the Jacob Catskade in Amsterdam with Dura Vermeer. Awarded the RIONED Innovation Award 2024.
From order to site
A fully digital line, without moulds and without waiting.
Configure
You enter dimensions, shape and connections.
Calculated automatically
Price, material needs and production file are generated instantly.
Robot-made
The robot makes the manhole in ± 20 to 60 minutes.
On site
After curing the manhole goes to site, ± 2 weeks after ordering.
