Manhole structures often have a variety of problems such as leaking, infiltration and major structural damage. We can examine the structure visually with state of the art cameras and video systems and help you find the solutions for these problems. We look for the best solution that is the most efficient one for your needs.
Manhole Scanning
Our professional can inspect your manholes to help identify any infiltration and inflow problems with a manhole inspection scan and save you high treatment costs and expensive regulatory action.
Manholes are at a higher risk for I&I than pipelines because they are subject to more surface stresses than sewer pipelines.
With this detailed data, municipalities and contractors can quickly pinpoint areas of deterioration and corrosion leading to I&I and accurately determine a rehabilitation strategy.
Rehabilitation is essential for manhole maintenance to revitalize existing structures and steer clear of disaster down the line. Damaged manholes are susceptible to inflow and infiltration issues which stem from excess ground or stormwater seeping through cracks or holes in the manhole structure.
This technique is primarily used in situations where structural cracks have formed allowing groundwater to seep into an otherwise sound manhole/chimney. Grouting fills any voids and helps to create a seal that is watertight.
Cementitious lining products are sprayed (usually with one pass) or applied by trowel. Anti-microbial additives are used because they can offer a wide range of protection against damaging pH and high levels of hydrogen sulfide.
Bottom line: The restoration and rehabilitation options that are available to restore aging and deteriorating manholes prove to be a cost-effective solution that also helps to extend the service life of the sewer line. It’s a win-win.
