Standard Fiberglass Manholes

Experience...
LFM has been building quality fiberglass reinforced manholes, manhole liners, wetwells and wetwell liners since 1982. We utilize the latest in chop and filament winding equipment, therefore providing our customers with the highest quality fiberglass products on the market today.

Professional Delivery...
LFM maintains its own fleet of delivery trucks, helping to lower delivery costs considerably. Our fiberglass manholes are light-weight and can be shipped via common carrier freight lines anywhere in the continental U.S.

Protects the Environment... Economical...

Our fiberglass manholes are light-weight, greatly reducing delivery and installation costs. Due to the anti-corrosive nature of LFM's fiberglass manholes, repair and replacement costs due to corrosion are reduced as well. We build fiberglass manholes that are corrosion resistant to all sewer and waste water gases. This virtually eliminates the possibility of untreated waste water leaking into the environment. LFM is concerned about environmental safety and preservation. With our quality fiberglass manholes, the risk of environmental contamination is minimized.

Strong & Lasting Construction

Fiberglass manholes by LFM are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all ASTM D3753 standard specifications. In addition to complying with all ASTM standards, our fiberglass manholes carry an H-20 load rating. Our products are engineered to provide you with long and trouble-free service.
