Is Our Product Structural?
One criticism our competitors bring up is that our solution is not structural, while their product is. While we do not specifically tout our solution as being structural, we would like you to look at the following demo that was put on by SpectraShield at their FL office Above you will notice a 12″ tall and 48″ diameter sample of our solution being held up one-handed by Stacy from SpectraShield without effort. Let us see you try that with a product made of Shotcrete. If you could lift it, it would be so brittle...

As you can see by the above before and after photos this manhole had water infiltration and hydrogen sulfide degradation of the concrete. Less than two hours after we started, the manhole has been cleaned and our three layer Stress Skin liner has been bonded to the manhole: stopping all water infiltration permanently, filling all voids, sealing the casting to the cone and preventing any further degradation of the concrete structure from...

SpectraShield installed by SpectraTech is a great solution to the problem of aging and deteriorating wastewater infrastructure. Wastewater collection systems contain more than 20 million manholes. Of this total, 4 million are 50 years old or older and another 5 million are 30 to 50 years old. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that approximately 50 percent of the oldest and 30 percent of the 30 to 50 year old manholes (approximately 3.5 million combined) are suffering from serious structural decay and are in...
