| Flow surface spec | Manning's n = 0.010 (smooth internal flow surface) | Houston PolyTank — Website (Applications, Industries, Accessories) |
| Install speed | Installs in 1/3 the time of a concrete manhole, no heavy lifting equipment required | Houston PolyTank — Website (Applications, Industries, Accessories) |
| Chem Proline pressure rating | 150 psi @ 68°F, sizes 20-315mm | Asahi/America — Advanced PE Industrial Piping Systems (Chem Proline / Chem Prolok / Poly-Flo) |
Concrete manholes crack and corrode under H2S gas and sulfuric-acid attack from sewage off-gassing — Houston PolyTank's own problem statement names this as the primary driver behind concrete's real ~23-year average service life in sanitary sewer service, against MagnaPlast's 100-year design basis in the same application.
Sanitary sewer collection is H2S/sulfuric-acid service whether the bid spec says so or not — a concrete manhole that lasts 23 years instead of 100 is a cost most municipal bids never price in, which is why Liberty CES defaults to HDPE MagnaPlast over concrete on wastewater collection work.
