A maintenance hole is an access point into the underground wastewater network. We use them to access, inspect and maintain the network. This helps to protect private properties by reducing the risk of blockages and ensuring the wastewater system operates safely and effectively. Most of our maintenance holes look like a round metal or concrete cover, level with the ground, as shown in the below picture. These covers lead to a larger access chamber below the ground. This allows our crews to access the network and have the working space they need while reducing the visual impact of the structure.
Maintenance holes allow us to inspect and maintain the wastewater network. In an emergency, when pipes become blocked or damaged, crews need to access the network to reduce and stop wastewater overflow and protect you and the environment. Most of our inspections and repairs to the wastewater network are done through maintenance holes but we may still need to dig to repair broken or collapsed pipes, if required.
