You only notice manhole and wet well degradation when things go sideways—meaning dangerous corrosion, infiltration issues, or outright failures. That’s where our manhole and wet well lining and restoration services come in as your silent, trenchless savior.
We don’t dig. We don’t disrupt. Instead, we rejuvenate your aging infrastructure using high-performance coatings, structural linings, and corrosion-resistant treatments. The outcome? Systems that stay watertight, safe, and operational—without the excavation drama.
Why Restoration Makes Sense
Fully replacing manholes and wet wells is disruptive, expensive, and overkill if the structure is still salvageable. Rehabilitation offers a smarter route: fix the existing system by restoring its structure, sealing leaks, and shielding it against corrosion. You save on excavations, labor, and operational downtime—without sacrificing longevity or performance.
Lining systems—like cured-in-place liners, cementitious coatings, or high-performance polymers—rejuvenate the manhole from the inside, forming a seamless, durable surface. That means restored structural integrity, protection against harsh chemicals, and a renewed lifespan—all within hours, not days.
GCU’s Lining & Restoration Toolbox
Here’s what we bring to the underground battlefield:
- CIPM (Cured-In-Place Manhole) Liners: One-piece resin-based liners expand and cure to fit manhole walls, creating a watertight and corrosion-resistant shell. Built to resist soil and hydrostatic pressures, they’re fast, reliable, and effective.
- Polymer Coatings (Epoxy & Urethane): These 100% solids coatings bond tightly to damp surfaces, resisting chemical attacks while curing quickly—often allowing structures to return to service in a snap.
- Structural & Cementitious Liners: Fiber-reinforced mortars or cement-based systems form a new inner wall. They restore lost thickness and strength, plug cracks, and prep the surface for additional protection layers.
- Full Composite Systems: Imagine a backup combo—thick spray-on mortar topped with a solvent-free epoxy coating that bonds into a single monolithic lining. Think of it like a bulletproof suit for your manhole or wet well.
Benefits That Actually Matter
- Restores Life, Saves Money: You avoid full replacement costs and benefit from restored structure and longevity. Plus, avoiding dig-up means no traffic jams, no yard everyman, no headache.
- Prevents Inflow & Infiltration: Proper restoration seals gaps and cracks, helping stop groundwater and stormwater from compromising your system’s capacity or budget.
- Corrosion Defense: H₂S, microbes, and harsh chemicals are no match for corrosion-resistant linings. We protect your infrastructure from being eaten away from the inside out.
- Fast & Non-Disruptive: Most jobs—cleaning, lining, curing—can be done in under a day. You save time, money, and your public’s sanity.
