concrete manhole base sections.

The foundations for the precast concrete production of Haba-Beton Johann Bartlechner KG in the Saxon town of Großsteinberg were laid in 1993. The production facility has continuously been expanded and further developed since then. For about half a year, it is now possible to manufacture individual concrete manhole base sections by means of the Perfect System of Schlüsselbauer.

The product range manufactured at this premises includes pipes (round and egg-shaped pipes), manhole components, jacking pipes, cones, custom-made com-
ponents (e.g. elbows, foot rest rings, cover slabs), small sewage plants, storage reservoirs or even drainage shafts.

The first factory building installed here in the course of establishing this production site is almost three hundred meters long and accommodates various manufacturing stations for pipes, cones, and manhole components. In the adjacent second building are also several stations of various suppliers available for the manufacturing...
