The JV100 Standard Manhole Box from Altrad Generation is a four-sided excavation protection system designed for the safe installation of pre-cast manholes, chambers, and tanks. The four-sided configuration encloses the working area on all sides, giving operatives complete protection from ground movement during the installation process.

The system works to a maximum depth of 5500mm and is available in five sizes to match a wide range of manhole configurations. Installed using the Dig and Push method, the box can be extended with additional extension boxes for greater depth.
