What is STAKKAbox™?

What are Network Access Chambers?

A network access chamber, manhole, pit, or vault as they are quite often referred to, forms part of the backdrop to our everyday lives. While often overlooked, they form a vital component within our cities, landscapes, and infrastructure.

The specialised nature of access chambers stems from the fact that they are usually designed to meet a particular requirement. Chambers that house cables are referred to as ‘draw pits’ due to the way in which the cables are fed through the ground between chambers. Rope and a fish tape ‘draws’ the cable along its designated path, with chambers positioned when changing direction, adding joints to extend the cable, branching off into a property or service, or if the path is too long and pulling the cables without a chamber would be too hard.

Water supplies also require regular underground access chambers to ensure that the pipes can be checked or the water turned off when necessary. This means chambers will often house water valves or meters for taking readings. One advantage of having regularly positioned access to pipes and water pressure measurements is that maintenance teams can easily identify where leaks or blockages are located.
