Aging infrastructure and changing conditions can lead to difficult decisions for utility provides and municipal services operators. You might be pleasantly surprised to learn that a variety of options now exist for extending the life of aging manholes, in many cases even if inflow and/or infiltration (I&I)has occurred.

infraStruct employs a wide-variety of trenchless products and techniques to address and repair manhole defects to meet all budgets. Every job begins with a thorough, detailed and honest assessment of the situation. From there we will propose one or more options, together with a complete and thorough estimate of the work to be done.

What is Polyurea?

Polyurea is a type of elastomer that is derived from the reaction product of an isocyanate component and a synthetic resin blend component through step-growth polymerization. The isocyanate can be aromatic or aliphatic in nature. It can be monomer, polymer, or any variant reaction of isocyanates, quasi-prepolymer or a prepolymer. The prepolymer, or quasi-prepolymer, can be made of an amine-terminated polymer resin, or a hydroxyl-terminated polymer resin.

The resin blend may be made up of amine-terminated polymer resins, and/or amine-terminated chain extenders. The amine-terminated polymer resins do not have any intentional hydroxyl moieties. Any hydroxyls are the result of incomplete conversion to the amine-terminated polymer resins. The resin blend may also contain additives or non-primary components. These additives may contain hydroxyls, such as pre-dispersed pigments in a polyol carrier. Normally, the resin blend does not contain a catalyst(s).
