Traditional
rehabilitation methods for manholes and pipelines involve invasive
procedures, including the destruction of existing subsurface structures
and extended service outages. They also suffer from limitations (no
mechanical bonding, shrinkage, lengthy installation, etc.) inherent
in the technologies.
There is a better way. Our Robotically Applied Spray Rehabilitation
(RASR) process takes advantage of the flexible properties of modern
polyurea/polyurethane hybrids. Applied by robots, RASR features
computer-guided precision and eliminates the shortcomings of older
technologies. Once applied, the spray lining cures rapidly (within
eight seconds), bonding with surfaces and forming a protective
shield (exceeding 500 psi in concrete and 1,500 psi in steel).
The work life of these structures can be extended by decades. The
RASR process accommodates pipe diameters of 6 inches and greater.
This revolutionary process provides savings in manpower, return-to-service
times (under a minute), future maintenance and project costs. No
other process is as efficient or cost effective.
