Industry Specialist - Proven Reputation for Problem Solving

MANHOLE BEFOREThis deteriorating manhole was part of a 42-inch diameter brick sewer main that NG was rehabilitating.
-
MANHOLE AFTERThe manhole was rehabilitated in conjunction with the sewer main rehabilitation to create a monolithic structure and add many years of life to the system.
-
BULKHEAD BEFOREOur crew made permitted confined space entry into this steel retention tank. A layer of stucco netting was installed and anchored to the sides of the tank to ensure a mechanical bond of the shotcrete to the failing bulkhead.
-
BULKHEAD AFTERA layer of 2” x 2”, 12-gauge, galvanized wire mesh was installed over the netting, then #4 half inch rebar was tied to the mesh for added strength. Finally, a nominal thickness of 6” of shotcrete was applied.
