The unique CentriPipe system provides waterproofing, sealing, structural reinforcement, and corrosion protection for sanitary and storm culverts without trenching, while providing savings.
Cherne
(800) 321-9532, oatey.com/brands/cherne
Hercules Shutout seals and lubricates manhole covers to reduce inflow. It significantly reduces inflow at application and makes manhole maintenance easier.
Applied to manhole frames, Shoutout creates a perfect seal, enabling airtight and watertight frames and cover interfaces. Establishing a water barrier between surfaces, it reduces the likelihood of corrosion and lubricates the manhole cover, for easier and safer removal.
This unique solution is easy to apply and offers immediate benefits, with little or no training needed. It’s also job-site ready because it allows easy transportation on the road and requires no measurements or advance planning.

Spectrashield
(904) 419-4889, spectrashield.com
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.
