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.

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.

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