Manhole Installations

RTS Marine offers high-quality design, production, and installation services for manholes used on ships. Manholes are essential access points for maintaining various compartments and systems within the ship. Whether it’s accessing fuel tanks, cargo holds, or ballast systems, manholes must be robust, reliable, and resistant to the harsh conditions at sea. Our manhole systems are designed to meet the highest industry standards, ensuring that they provide long-lasting performance and protection.

The manhole systems designed by RTS Marine are made from durable materials that can withstand the pressures and corrosive elements encountered in maritime environments. We work with shipowners and technical managers to customize manholes based on the specific needs of the vessel. This includes considering factors such as the size, shape, and location of the manholes to ensure they provide easy access while maintaining the integrity of the ship’s structure.

One of the key benefits of our manhole systems is their resistance to corrosion. Marine environments expose ships to saltwater, humidity, and varying temperatures, all of which can cause traditional manholes to corrode over time. RTS Marine uses specialized coatings and materials to protect our manholes from rust and corrosion, ensuring they remain functional and safe throughout their lifetime. This reduces the need for frequent replacements and lowers maintenance costs for shipowners.

In addition to corrosion resistance, our manholes are designed with safety in mind. We incorporate features such as non-slip surfaces, secure locking mechanisms, and pressure-release valves to ensure that the manholes can be safely opened and accessed, even in challenging conditions. Our designs comply with international safety standards, providing peace of mind to shipowners and crew members alike.

RTS Marine offers a comprehensive range of manhole designs, including standard access covers, flush-mounted manholes, and watertight or pressure-resistant manholes for specialized compartments. Our team works closely with clients to determine the best manhole solution for their specific needs, whether it’s for a commercial vessel, a military ship, or a luxury yacht. Customization options are available to ensure that each manhole system is tailored to the vessel’s unique operational requirements.

The installation process is carried out by our experienced technicians, who ensure that each manhole is fitted securely and in accordance with the ship’s structural design. We take great care during installation to prevent any damage to the vessel’s hull or compartments, and we thoroughly test each manhole to ensure that it meets the necessary performance standards. This includes checking for watertightness, pressure resistance, and ease of access.

With RTS Marine’s manhole solutions, shipowners can expect high-quality, durable access systems that are built to last. Our dedication to quality materials, safety, and customization ensures that our manholes meet the unique needs of each vessel, providing reliable access for maintenance and repairs. Whether you need standard manholes or specialized pressure-resistant access points, RTS Marine has the expertise and experience to deliver the best solution for your ship. Trust RTS Marine to provide access systems that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
