Vat C97 was inspected on 12/8/03
after 5 months exposure to 10%
H2SO4. So far, there is no color
change or evidence of any problems.
The test will be completed in about 7

The Solution That Works
DIRECT-TO-AGGREGATE
BONDING
Direct-To-Aggregate Advantages
• Cement is the “weakest link” of
manhole materials. Smooth with
cement minimally in joints &
larger holes.
• Direct-To-Aggregate bonding
is the strongest, most reliable
design. Like sandblasting, it
increases surface area and
increases pull-off strength.
Bonding To Aggregate
•
•
•
•
•
•
Aggregate Does Not Corrode
Perfect Adhesion Surface
Deeply Anchored
3-D Encapsulated Aggregate
Atomic-Level Chemical Adhesion
Perfect Bond & Seal
Insures that minor cleaning issues do not impact 50 year service life
Design & Benefits
• Bonded Beam Design
• Flexural Modulus Driven
• Adhesion Is Greater Than
Strength of Substrate
Groundwater
• Cannot Peel
• Cannot Blister
• Cannot Buckle

Fact: The minimum force to pull off
one square inch of embedded
aggregate is 200 psi or 462 feet of
hydrostatic head.
Mechanical Benefits
•

•
•
Impact Tolerant
Aggregate Protects Substrate
Scratches & Nicks Rarely Reach Cement
Aggregate Acts As Corrosion Restrictor
Any Damage Easily Field Repairable

SIMPLE and Reliable!
* Direct To Aggregate
How Does Ambient Cure Epoxy
Improve Long-Term Performance?
Thermal coefficient of expansion and
contraction causes heat cured materials to
contract during cool down. Ambient cure
epoxy stays physically “tuned” to the
substrate for maximum adhesion and a
50-year life expectancy.
No annulus for an H2S penetration path.

Joints & Seams OK
Permanently stops infiltration at rings, seals & moving joints. One step process
Significant Design Points
50-Year Designs are the most economical, reliable
rehabilitation solutions.
Third Party testing combined with an ASTM design
insures that liners perform throughout their 50-year
design life.
Direct To Aggregate bonding is the strongest, best longterm solution for a conservative 50-year design life.
Cost/Benefit Advantages
Mobilization Costs remain the same as for most
other methods. Only material costs change, and for
only a small percentage increase you get solid
protection
50-Year Design provides reliable assurance of
performance
Lowest Lifetime Maintenance Cost
Preserves System Investment
