Applications

Manholes & chambers are auxiliary elements in water and wastewater systems that allow access and maintenance of underground structures. Chambers usually accommodate very expensive equipment. Therefore, proper design and protection of new manholes and chambers can extend the service life of these structures and lower the operation cost over the lifespan of the asset.  TCI protective coatings have been applied in new construction aimed at protecting these chambers and manholes that support these linear systems.

Existing manholes and chambers naturally age and may exhibit severe deterioration at which point need rehabilitation, upgrades, repairs, or sometimes complete renewal. TCI products are formulated to provide the best protection barrier as well as structural strength to your concrete (precast or cast-in-place), brick, or masonry manholes & chambers.

Damp substrate or leaking cracks in existing manholes or chambers are not obstacles for proper application of TCI products. TCI has the right product for you. Extremely high bond strength to existing concrete surfaces is one of our high-end goals, allowing TCI products to be applied on damp/moist substrates.  .  TCI can also continue to cure under water allowing flexibility in difficult rehabilitation projects where the asset cannot be out of service for long periods of time.

Whether you have a new project for manholes & chambers, or repairing/rehabilitating existing ones, consult TCI technicians to discuss what products are most suitable for your needs.
