Manhole Rehabilitation School
December 5-6, 2017
Houston, TX

Every manhole is unique. Therefore, manhole rehabilitation is never one-size-fits-all. The approach is systematic, beginning with a thorough condition assessment and multi-step process to extend the service life of the structure.

To combat deteriorating conditions, control I&I, and restore integrity the specifying engineer, owner and contractor have defined roles and responsibilities.

Join Avanti, Raven Lining Systems and The Strong Company for the first ever two-day intensive Manhole Rehabilitation School - specifically designed for engineers and municipalities - for hands-on tutorials and workshops over the following:

  • Consequences of Manhole I&I
  • Condition Assessment - MACP (NASSCO)
  • Grout First to Stop I&I, Cementitious Coat for Surface Prep, Epoxy Line for Structural and Corrosion Protection
  • Role of Inspectors and Engineers - ITCP (NASSCO)
  • Equipment Conveyance - Operations, Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Attendees will receive:

  • Ten (10) Professional Development Hours approved by CIGMAT
  • Customized Certificate of Completion
  • Product Manuals and USBs
  • Breakfast and lunch on both days and the first evening's meal

COST: Team learning is best! $585 for one registrant, $485 for additional registrant(s)

LODGING: Responsibility of registrant. A discounted room block has been setup at the local Holiday Inn Houston-Webster at a rate of $113/night + tax.
