How Do Modular Ramps Keep Manholes Accessible?

Published on Thursday 30th October 2025

Modular ramps keep manholes accessible through dedicated hatch sections that are incorporated into the ramp design and installed directly above the manholes. This allows for quick and convenient access whenever required, without disrupting the overall layout. In contrast, concrete ramps cannot be built over manholes, making maintenance difficult, time-consuming, and costly.

How do you determine where to place hatch sections?

Manhole locations are identified during the site survey using our RapidScanner. These data points are then incorporated into both the 3D model and 2D plan produced by our in-house design team, ensuring the ramp layout accommodates existing services.

Estimates can be returned within 24hrs if there is clear information given, including project address, drawings, photos and contact details.

What role does the 3D ramp drawing play?

The 3D ramp drawing provides a realistic visual of the proposed ramp, including hatch sections. It helps guide client discussions, simplifies the planning process, and ensures everyone can see how the ramp fits with the site.

How quickly can I get the final drawings?

We aim to deliver final drawings within 24 hours of receiving the survey notes, helping projects stay on schedule.

Why is including hatch sections beneficial?

Hatch sections make it easy to plan ramps around manholes, ensuring that service points remain fully accessible. They provide flexibility in design, allowing sections to be swapped or repositioned without affecting the overall ramp layout, saving time and avoiding costly modifications.
