Fast ROI and better overall profitability in the long run.

Ability to purchase a manhole form to fit perfectly to project specifications and measurements – can be useful to both commercial and industrial projects. Optimise the amount of concrete you need for the pour.

Buying offers the ability to customise your manhole form rather than succumb to the generic hire measurements and design. Purchase forms that suit processes and work practices.

Avoid hire company penalty charges and arguments over damaged or dirty forms. You decide the serviceable condition of your forms.

Purchasing new manhole forms allows the customer to know the service history of their forms and be confident of the quality of the final poured concrete product.

No work delays waiting for your hired manhole form, your equipment is your responsibility and ready on site when you need it.

Less administration time having to deal with booking, co-ordinating and paying for form work hire.

Advantages of Hiring Manhole Forms

Below is a list of advantages of hiring rather than buying manhole forms:-

No need to store your manhole forms when not in use.

If it is a one-off use, then hiring manhole forms is the best option if that size is available to hire.

Hiring means someone else has the responsibility to deliver manhole forms to your work site.

Single hire cost (e.g. one week only) allows for multiple pours and can be cost-effective if you can setup and pour with minimal wait time.

There can be increased safety due to the hire company having insurance and safety regulations that cover the use and transportation of the forms.

If you decide that at this stage that hiring manhole forms is best for you, please do remember TNN Engineering should you require any custom formwork in the future.

I have used TNN Engineering over a period of 5+ years, and always found them to deliver high quality products, on time and on budget. I have always found Tin and the sales team to be responsive to my needs, answer questions where necessary and follow up with me when further clarity on a drawing or specification is required.TNN Engineering is my go to when I need machining or fabrication for a competitive cost, whilst still meeting my high standards of quality and repeat-ability.

From the initial meeting to discuss my job, to the end when picking up the completed task, the staff at TNN where always friendly, and willing to discuss options and solutions to my engineering problems. At all times the team kept up good communications, and kept me informed as to the progress of my job. The job itself, and quality of workmanship is far superior than others in their field. I could not have asked for a more structurally engineered product. Can't recommend the team at TNN enough, thank you !!

Tin & Le from TNN Engineering are truly masters at what they do. Take one look at the workshop and you know this team has their house in order. Reliable, trustworthy and in it for the long game. If you choose to partner up with them for an engineering or metal fabrication project you won't be sorry.

I have been fortunate enough to have engaged the team at TNN Engineering for multiple projects over the past few years, ranging from machined aluminium and plastic components, through to complete fabricated assemblies. Each project has been completed to a high standard with outstanding professionalism and workmanship. They completed the work in a reliable, timely manner despite the variations in work required for each project. I'd happily engage TNN Engineering again in the future & would highly recommend TNN to anyone seeking machining and general fabrication for their project needs.
