A cesspool is basically just an upside down bucket with a bunch of holes drilled around the sides. Except in  cesspool  construction the sides of the bucket is made from  steel reinforced precast concrete rings. These precast rings are engineered with specific design features and are made in a few diameters.  The “rings” as we call them in our industry, are constructed from concrete and rebar.
