Frequently Asked Questions

What is manhole relining/rehabilitation?

Process of repairing damaged manholes by cleaning/preparing the interior surfaces and applying a protective lining (sprayed or mortared) to restore integrity and seal against leaks/corrosion.

How long does the coating last?

Lifespan depends on site conditions (chemical/gas exposure, groundwater, etc.), but with proper application & environmental conditions, expect many years of reliable service.

Do we need to divert flow or shut down services?

Sometimes yes, depending on the site. In many cases, partial diversion is enough; for urgent or shallow defects, minimal disruption.

How soon can you start?

Available nationwide; lead times depend on site survey, access, and severity. Usually can schedule after the initial assessment within a few days.

What deliverables do I get?

Before & after photos; full condition reports; compliance testing / watertightness outputs; warranty/details of lifespan; documentation for audits.
