Altrad Generation's Manhole Shutters are modular steel formwork systems designed for casting concrete surrounds directly on site around precast manhole rings. Covering diameters from 675mm to 3000mm and available in 900mm and 1800mm heights, the system accommodates the full range of standard manhole and chamber sizes used in sewer, drainage, and civil engineering groundworks.
The modular design uses three panel sizes (A, B, and C variants) that combine to form the required diameter and height configuration. Panel weights range from 6kg to 55kg, making them manageable for site teams to handle and assemble quickly without heavy lifting equipment. The reusable steel construction delivers consistent, accurate concrete surrounds on repeat projects.
Manhole Shutters are compatible with Altrad Generation Manhole Safety Platforms and are available for hire and purchase from branches across the UK and Ireland.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are manhole shutters used for?
A: Manhole Shutters are used to form the concrete surround cast directly on site around precast manhole rings. The modular steel panels create the correct shape and dimensions for the concrete pour, producing a consistent, structurally sound surround for sewer, drainage, and civil engineering applications.
Q: What diameter range do Altrad Generation Manhole Shutters cover?
A: Manhole Shutters cover diameters from 675mm to 3000mm, accommodating the full range of standard precast manhole ring sizes used across UK groundworks. Contact your nearest branch for guidance on the correct configuration for your specific ring size.
Q: What heights are available?
A: Manhole Shutters are available in two heights: 900mm and 1800mm. Multiple shutter heights can be combined where a greater concrete surround height is required.
Q: How are manhole shutters assembled on site?
A: The shutters use three modular panel sizes (A, B, and C) that combine to form the required diameter and height configuration. The modular design allows fast assembly and disassembly on site without specialist equipment.
Q: Are manhole shutters available for hire?
