Solid Wall Pits

Yes, our standard size solid wall pits are available in sizes up to 1500x1500mm, matching our standard riser range well. When constructing deep precast pits with step irons, risers can be stacked sequentially while maintaining full alignment with the pre-installed step irons.

Yes, they can easily be core-drilled on-site to your exact height and angle requirements, making them highly adaptable for a range of uses.

The main difference is the absence of pre-formed knockouts in the pit walls. Precast solid wall pits provide a completely blank canvas for custom on-site core drilling, whereas stock pits have pre-determined knockout windows.

Yes. We manufacture and supply a comprehensive selection of load-rated access covers and grates designed to integrate seamlessly with our solid wall cabling pits.

Unlike standard pits with thin, breakable concrete knockouts, solid wall electrical pits offer uniform, continuous structural strength. This makes precast concrete solid wall pits for electrical cabling a lot more resilient against extreme lateral ground pressure.

Precast pit risers offer a simple solution for adjusting the final height of a stormwater, cabling, or trade waste pit to meet the required pit depth, saving time compared to ordering a custom height. They are ideal when you need to increase the depth of your standard size solid wall pits to align perfectly with a newly finished surface level, eliminating the need to pour extra concrete on-site.

Pit riser walls include a slight protrusion at the base, allowing them to fit snugly into the pit wall rebate when they are stacked on top of a compatible pit base.

Since heavy-duty concrete utility pits are robust and heavy, it is crucial that all products are lifted using the appropriate lifting tools and techniques to ensure safe transportation and handling. Due to the sheer weight of precast concrete products, any product failure or improper lifting equipment poses a high risk to people nearby.

SVC incorporates steel lifting anchors into our precast concrete products, which are compatible with either 1.3T, 2.5T or 5.0 lifting clutches (depending on product weight). Lifting clutches must be connected to the appropriately load-rated lifting chains. All clutches are available to purchase from SVC.

Note: Some SVC pit products may still include lifting holes, which are compatible with 1.0T lifting hooks. Customers must not use these holes to thread chains through for lifting; this is an incorrect technique and is very dangerous, as it greatly increases the risk of pit wall breakage from chain-induced stress.
