Containment Solutions Web Page


Manholes, Rehabilitation Manholes, Wetwells: CSI Fiberglass Flowtite® Products Are All Backed by an Exclusive 20-year Structural and Corrosion Warranty

Were developed over 25 years ago.

  • Thousands have been installed
    • In different types of soil and
    • In a variety of sewer conditions.
  • They resist the effects of hydrogen sulfide corrosion.
  • Minimize the amount of inflow/infiltration to the treatment system.
  • Are economical.
  • Are proven effective.

Flowtite® Fiberglass Rehabilitation Manholes
Standard Features:
  • Made of non-corroding fiberglass.
  • Made to be installed WITHIN an existing concrete, brick, or precast manhole.
  • Provides a structural barrier.
  • Resists the attack of hydrogen sulfide.
  • Provides a long-term and cost effective solution to manhole rehabilitation.
  • Withstands H-20 traffic loads.
     

The Flowtite rehabilitation manhole is a structural unit, as well as a watertight, corrosion-resistant liner.

Water Tight Construction:

  • Monolithic - made in one integral piece - up to 25 feet in height.
  • Design prevents infiltration an exfiltration.
  • No sidewall joints, seams, or sections to let groundwater in or wastewater out.
  • Virtually leakproof answer to deteriorated brick or concrete manholes.
     

Lightweight, Strong and Durable:

  • Lightweight to permit fast, easy rehabilitation of deteriorated manholes means minimum disruption of street traffic.
  • Rehab can often be accomplished without sewage bypassing or diversion.
  • Liners are engineered to withstand a 16,000 pound vertical dynamic load (AASHTO H-20).
     

Unlike coating and gunite methods of relining, no extensive surface preparation of deteriorated interior surface areas is required to restore structural integrity.

Corrosion Resistance:

  • Highly corrosion resistant.
  • Proven resistant to the following conditions such as:
    • Variety of chemical solutions.
    • Salt water.
    • Corrosive soil conditions.
    • Sewer gases (such as hydrogen sulfide).
    • Stray electrical currents which can destroy steel-reinforced concrete in a few years.
  • Economic alternative.
  • Long performance life.
     

Size Availability:

  • Manufactured as one integral piece.
  • Available in one-foot increments in heights from 3 feet to 25 feet.
  • Inside diameters can range from 42" to 72" in six-inch increments.
  • Liners in other diameters can be made upon request .
  • Can be provided without cone if requested.
     

Specification Compliance:

  • Flowtite rehabilitation manholes meet all requirements of ASTM specification D3753 for glass fiber-reinforced polyester manholes.
  • The rehabilitation manhole is a complete structural unit which can be used as a manhole were local code requirements permit.

 


Flowtite® Fiberglass Wetwells (or Lift Stations)
 

At this highly corrosive point in a wastewater system, Flowtite Fiberglass Wetwells put an end to worry about corrosion as well as inflow infiltration.

Standard Features:

  • Suitable for use in storm, industrial and sanitary sewers.
  • Monolithic – one piece construction.
  • No sidewall joints, sections or seams to let ground water in or waste out.
  • Easy to install.
  • Easier inspection.
  • Economical.
  • Highly resistant to corrosion.
  • Long lasting performance.

Corrosion Resistant:

  • Inert to corrosion.
  • Virtually impervious to waste water conditions.
  • Proven resistant to a variety of chemical solutions such as:
    • Salt water.
    • Corrosive soil conditions.
    • Sewer gases (such as hydrogen sulfide).
    • Stray electrical currents which can destroy steel-reinforced concrete in a few years.
  • Approved for use in more than 400 chemical environments.
  • Unlike concrete, fiberglass is unaffected by hydrogen sulfide.
  • Long lasting performance.
  • Suitable within a temperature range of 40°F to150°F.

Easy Installation:

  • Light weight, one-piece construction.
  • Easier handling.
  • Lighter footings, smaller excavation.
  • Unloads and installs faster with light equipment.
  • Less likelihood of uneven settlement.
  • Eliminates time-consuming concrete forms or multiple precast sections.
  • Only minor grouting required.
  • One-step installation on depths from 3' to 25'.
  • Ordering flexibility.
  • Meets every wetwell dimensional and performance specification.

Size and Option Availability:

  • Diameters ranging from 42" up to 120".
  • One-foot depth increments from 3' to 25'.
  • Greater depths can be custom fabricated.
  • Watertight tops.
  • Watertight bottoms.
  • Various piping connections.
  • Contact your CSI representative for more information.
