The end of the World War II required rapid reconstruction of infrastructure and housing. This quickly translated into a policy of “all to the sewer” connections in wastewater treatment, regardless of the type of effluent.
Today, a new term for our wastewater collectors has emerged: combined sewer system, separate sewer system, and pseudo-separate sewer system. In terms of hydraulics, it’s also important to distinguish between gravity networks and measures to
restrict and prohibit the use of drinking water. (lifting, pumping).
Of course, off-grid sanitation continues to be a crucial method of treating effluent on private property in areas that cannot connect to a public sewer system.
To support you in public or private areas, SOVAL offers a wide range of pipes (cast iron, PVC, polypropylene, etc.), covers, and manhole covers adapted to the load classes and atmospheres impacted by H2S.
To facilitate access to your manholes and network cleaning points, we offer a wide range of covers from class B125 to D400.
Our range of Kantum Maxum manhole covers (ventilated and non-ventilated) offers round clearances of 600 and 800 mm, tailored to meet your diverse traffic requirements. What’s more, thanks to our “Easyshut” innovation, ergonomics in the workplace is our priority!
In fact, our hinge system no longer requires you to lift the cover to release its safety catch when closing. All it takes to fold down a cover weighing over 50 kg with one hand is a single lateral pressure on the side.
Finally, our wide range of square hydraulic covers can cover clear openings from 200 to 600 mm, with the addition of certain options: ¼-turn lock, EPDM identification lid.
Unfortunately, the days when two people could open a manhole cover are long gone. In addition to the potential danger of a cover collapsing at the base of a structure, opening some of the remaining traps on sanitation structures during on-call shifts often presents significant challenges.
SOVAL offers a wide range of cylinder-assisted manhole covers, complete with fall-prevention grids:
We can provide you with all of the pipes and fittings you require to drain your wastewater.
Our Duktus cast-iron sewage pipes, coupled with our Souplessur-T cast-iron fittings, are perfect for mechanical protection (shallow pipes, soil conditions). Last but not least, we also stock a wide range of PVC sewer pipes and fittings from CR4 to CR16 for your most common projects.
Looking for a durable solution to your H2S or corrosive environment problems?
Through our foundry, we can offer you a specific application of Abcite. This 400-micron-thick thermoplastic coating protects castings in the most extreme conditions (stray currents, specific PH, hydrogen sulfide, etc.).
Our century-old experience and expertise allow us to design and produce SOVAL’s cast-iron ranges in our foundry in the Haute-Marne region (France).
Before anything else, our specialists and experts are here to help you make technical decisions.
A national and international network. Our branches are all well-stocked and staffed with advisers who are experts in your networks, supported by our many years of experience.
