PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Engineering analysis demonstrates that professionally installed manholes with appropriate materials and infiltration protection typically extend service life by 15-25 years compared to standard installations. For municipal systems, this translates to lifecycle cost savings of approximately 60% when considering reduced maintenance, prevented infiltration, and delayed replacement needs.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of manholes do you install? We install a complete range of manhole types including precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete, fiberglass, and polymer structures. Our selection process considers soil conditions, depth requirements, anticipated loads, chemical exposure, and long-term maintenance factors to determine the optimal solution.
How do you prevent infiltration and inflow issues? Our comprehensive approach includes proper base preparation, high-quality structural materials, advanced joint sealing techniques, flexible connectors for pipe entries, and specialized interior coatings or liners as needed. For rehabilitation projects, we employ chemical grouting, structural liners, and other technologies to eliminate existing infiltration.
Can you adjust existing manholes to match new surface grades? Yes—we provide complete manhole adjustment services to accommodate road resurfacing, grade changes, and other surface modifications. Our techniques ensure proper alignment and structural integrity while maintaining watertight performance.
What causes manhole deterioration and failure? Common causes include hydrogen sulfide corrosion, infiltration/inflow issues, improper initial installation, excessive loading, freeze/thaw cycles, and age-related deterioration. Our inspection services identify these issues, allowing targeted rehabilitation before catastrophic failure occurs.
How quickly can you respond to emergency manhole repairs? We maintain dedicated emergency response teams available 24/7 throughout our service area. For critical infrastructure issues, we prioritize rapid mobilization to address structural failures, dangerous conditions, or system access emergencies. Our specialized teams are always ready to respond when you need us most.
