 Betonfertigteilesysteme GmbH (BFS), from Blaubeuren in the German region of Swabia, thus introduces Capitan as a sophisticated method for producing monolithic manhole bases. The development team at BFS created in recent years, a method for the production of customizable monolithic manhole bases with an extremely smooth surface, flexible channel diameters and gradients, and variable heights of inlets, outlets and supply lines.

The Capitan system used enables low-wear production whilst reducing the time needed for the manufacturing process to minimum. A trend-setting instrument is created for the construction of underwater infrastructure with efficient flow rate. The specific conditions of each civil engineering project require tailor-made solutions. When constructing modern sewer lines, each manhole must exactly conform to the requirements on the installation site. Manhole heights and diameters, the design of the channel with its inlets and outlets, gradients and angles mostly differ from one case to another. For...
