Why You Need a Specified Manhole Repair Method
It is always best to plan a project before you start working.

Engineered methods are always superior to ,”shoot from the hip” methods. Engineered methods are carefully thought through by people who are trained to properly design structures. You can be sure that the method they specify is going to be as strong and durable as possible. By using a ”system”, your crews will be doing things the same every time. This leads to efficiency, safety, and skill building. You will see a tremendous increase in speed and quality when you adopt a “system” of repairing manholes.
Another benefit of adopting a system of manhole repair is worker safety. None of us want to see on the job injuries. It is the job of the employer to provide safe tools and equipment for the workforce. When you provide safe, efficient equipment and methods it improves workforce morale. When you use an engineered manhole repair method, you can easily estimate and track cost. Because you know exactly how much material and labor is going to be, cost tracking and time management is easier.
In the field, your crews will encounter different scenarios. Having an engineering specification for each of these scenarios reduces time spent by your crews trying to determine the appropriate repair protocol. All things considered, you can’t go wrong adopting a manhole repair specification and insisting your crews follow it.
