Rehab Technology Spotlight: Manhole & Pipe Coatings
AP/M Permaform
For over 40 years, APM has produced high-quality products for sewer line repair and seamless manhole concrete pipe restoration. The Permaform system and resourceful solutions make it easy to replace manhole concrete pipes without having to excavate and negatively affect the structural integrity of the area.
To simply reinforce and seal the pipe liner of a brick or concrete drainpipe or sewer pipe, we carry our specialty Permacast Mortars. The unique CentriPipe system provides waterproofing, sealing, structural reinforcement, and corrosion protection for sanitary and storm culverts without trenching, while providing savings.

Cherne
Cherne Air-Loc Bladder Style Manhole Testers provide an efficient, cost-effective method of testing new, existing and rehabilitated manholes, per ASTM C 1244.
Supported by an aluminum brace, the testers seal the inside diameter of the manhole at the frame or core. The push-pin rod design enables easy depth adjustment. A remote inflation and monitoring system keeps users away from the danger zone.
These testers are available in 10 variations.

Spectrashield
SpectraGrout is a single component, hydrophilic polyurethane resin designed to repair cracks, seal around pipe penetrations, open joints and stop leaks in wastewater structures. The resin is a high-viscosity formula that reacts with water to create a dense foam, assuring that the grout will not readily flow out from the point of placement. The foam solidifies in minutes, stopping the leaks and filling the voids.
The product is available in tubes, 5-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums. For superior performance at a lower cost, try SpectraGrout.

The Strong Company
The Strong-Seal System offers engineered cementitious products, specifically designed to rehabilitate municipal concrete and masonry structures. Strong-Seal is the cost-effective solution for stopping inflow and infiltration (I&I), restoring structural integrity, and providing corrosion protection.
When spray-applied to a minimum of ½-inch thickness, the Strong-Seal fiber-reinforced monolithic liners have strengths exceeding that of the original structure. Made with Portland cement, Strong-Seal MS-2A is the most cost-effective solution. The MS-2C product provides high early strengths and added corrosion protection in mild sulfide environments.
Strong-Seal High Performance Mix is a pure-fused calcium aluminate mortar that protects against microbiologically induced corrosion in harsh sulfide conditions.
