We apply OBIC polyurea coatings to protect and reinforce concrete and metal structures against the corrosive gases and chemicals generated by sanitary waste and industrial processes.
Common applications include manhole and lift station rehabilitation, culvert restoration, water tank coatings, large storm sewer lining, and wastewater treatment plant repairs.
These coatings can also be applied during initial construction to proactively shield new structures from harsh environmental conditions or applied to existing structures to extend their life.
Best of all, our products come with a 10-year warranty covering both materials and installation. The installation date is stamped directly into the coating, marking the start of the warranty period. In addition, our products are engineered for a 50-year design life, ensuring long-term durability and performance.
COST OF DOING NOTHING…..
The return on investment (ROI) for our solutions is significant—often difficult to quantify due to the many problems they prevent. For example, leaking groundwater into a manhole can overwhelm a city’s sewer treatment plant, leading to the release of untreated sewage into nearby rivers and streams, which causes serious environmental concerns. In addition, leaks can erode the surrounding soil and subgrade, causing pavement to sink and fail around the manhole—repairs that are both costly and disruptive.
When concrete structures inside lift stations and treatment plants become compromised, abrasive debris enters the system, leading to clogs, sewer backups, and even full plant shutdowns. These failures not only result in expensive emergency repairs but also create major service disruptions.
Our trenchless, no-dig solutions address these challenges efficiently and effectively—with little to no ground disturbance and minimal service interruption.
Consider this example: A single leaking manhole, approximately 10 feet deep, with a ½-inch constant leak near a stream, can cost a city around $8,000 per year in unnecessary water treatment costs. American Rehab Coatings can fully rehabilitate that same manhole for roughly $4,500. That means the investment pays for itself in just over six months. Over five years, doing nothing would cost the city about $40,000—nearly nine times the cost of repair.
