Corrugated HDPE Manhole/Catch Basin

A lightweight, economical and durable HDPE structure designed for non-roadway stormwater collection, drainage and access to storm sewer networks.

Soleno’s corrugated HDPE manhole/catch basin is designed for non-roadway stormwater collection, drainage and access to storm sewer networks. Lightweight and easy to handle, it offers an economical and durable alternative to conventional structures when the project does not require a roadway application.

Made from high-density polyethylene, the corrugated manhole/catch basin provides strong resistance to de-icing salts, abrasives, chemicals and vibration. It can be configured as a catch basin for surface runoff collection or as a manhole for network access, inspection and maintenance. Several options are available to adapt the structure to project requirements, including risers, ladders, flow regulators, special frames, grates and fittings.

Why Choose a Corrugated Manhole/Catch Basin?

An economical HDPE solution for non-roadway stormwater applications

The corrugated manhole/catch basin is a practical solution for projects that require stormwater collection, drainage or access to the network in non-roadway areas. Its lightweight HDPE construction simplifies handling and installation, while offering a durable alternative to heavier conventional structures.

Used as a catch basin, it can collect surface runoff and direct it toward the drainage or storm sewer network. Used as a manhole, it provides an access point for inspection, maintenance or pipe connections. This flexibility makes it suitable for municipal, commercial, institutional and green infrastructure projects where a non-roadway structure is required.

Because it is made from HDPE, the corrugated manhole/catch basin resists de-icing salts, abrasives, chemicals and vibration. Its available options make it possible to adapt the structure to site conditions, access needs, drainage requirements and project-specific configurations.

Common Applications

Non-Roadway Installations

The corrugated manhole/catch basin is designed for non-roadway installations where traffic loads are not the primary design requirement. It provides a lightweight, economical and durable solution for stormwater drainage, collection and network access.

Stormwater Collection

Used as a catch basin, the structure can collect surface runoff and convey stormwater toward a drainage or storm sewer network. It can be paired with a polyethylene or cast iron grate depending on the application, location and project requirements.

Storm Sewer Network Access

Used as a manhole, the corrugated structure provides an access point for inspection, maintenance or pipe connections within a storm sewer or drainage network. Its HDPE construction helps simplify installation and adaptation to the project.

Green Infrastructure and Sustainable Stormwater Management

The corrugated manhole/catch basin can be integrated into green infrastructure projects such as rain gardens, vegetated swales, retention basins or sustainable stormwater management systems. It can support collection, flow control and conveyance while fitting into strategies that aim to reduce runoff and promote infiltration.

Corrugated or Smooth Exterior Structure: Which One Should You Choose?

Comparing HDPE manholes and catch basins for roadway and non-roadway applications

The corrugated manhole/catch basin is generally selected for non-roadway applications when the project requires a lightweight, economical and durable structure.

Smooth exterior manholes or catch basins may be recommended when roadway installation is required, or when vertical soil movement caused by freeze-thaw cycles must be considered. The right choice depends on the installation area, applicable loads, soil conditions, pipe connections and stormwater network requirements.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about our corrugated manhole/catch basin

What is a corrugated manhole/catch basin?

A corrugated manhole/catch basin is an HDPE structure used for stormwater collection or access to a drainage or storm sewer network. Its corrugated exterior wall makes it a lightweight, durable and economical solution, especially for non-roadway applications.

What is a corrugated manhole/catch basin used for?

It can be used as a catch basin to collect surface runoff or as a manhole to provide access to the storm sewer network for inspection, maintenance or pipe connections.

Where should a corrugated manhole/catch basin be installed?

The corrugated manhole/catch basin is generally intended for non-roadway installations, including drainage areas, green infrastructure sites, municipal projects, commercial properties and other locations where a lightweight stormwater structure is required outside traffic areas.

What is the difference between a corrugated manhole/catch basin and a smooth exterior catch basin?

The corrugated manhole/catch basin is generally selected for non-roadway applications. A smooth exterior catch basin may be used for roadway or non-roadway applications and is especially relevant when freeze-thaw soil movement must be considered. The final choice depends on loads, location, soil conditions and project requirements.

Can the corrugated manhole/catch basin be installed in roadway applications?

The corrugated manhole/catch basin should generally be selected for non-roadway applications. For roadway applications, the appropriate smooth exterior manhole or catch basin should be evaluated with a Soleno expert.

What grate options are available?

The corrugated manhole/catch basin can be available with a polyethylene or cast iron grate depending on the application, location and project requirements.

What accessories can be added?

Several accessories can be added, including a riser, ladder, flow regulator, retention system for cast iron bell, special frames and grates, hooks or lifting eyes, special diameters and special fittings available upon request.

Can the corrugated manhole/catch basin be used in green infrastructure projects?

Yes. It can be integrated into green infrastructure projects such as rain gardens, vegetated swales, retention systems and other sustainable stormwater management applications when a non-roadway drainage or access structure is required.

How do you choose the right configuration?

The right configuration depends on whether the structure is used as a manhole or catch basin, the installation area, pipe connections, access needs, accessories, soil conditions and project requirements. For project-specific validation, it is recommended to consult a Soleno expert or fill out a fabrication form.
