The Easy Riser provides proves more cost-efficient than manhole excavation, without the need for below grade adjustments on a simple overlay. It reduces storm water infiltration and prevents rainwater from having to be treated at the plant, resulting in improved water quality in streams, rivers and lakes. An average savings in materials and labor of $500 per manhole are realized in manhole excavating and reconstruction costs. The system design extends the life of the manhole structure and surrounding road surface, potentially saving thousands in construction costs over the life of the product.
