With a broad range of cable pits available, it’s vital to look at their intended application from all angles. Planning and designing cable pits requires consideration of a number of factors.

These include how and where the pit will be used, what it will contain, the levels of security required, how much and what type of traffic will be passing over it.

“Often, when those things aren’t considered in the early stage of the planning process, that’s when things can go wrong,” said Greg Facey, Market Segment Manager, for ACO, a family owned, Australian manufacturer based in Sydney.

Facey was speaking during the recent EA Thought Leaders webinar, Service enclosures, the integration of accessible cable chambers beneath pavements.
