Documentation
Complete insulation. One less thing to worry about.
Manholes are insulated to prevent shifting and the harmful effects of freezing on surrounding structures. Concrete manholes must be insulated to:
- Prevent heaving due to the formation of a thermal bridge;
- Prevent the freezing of the equipment inside the manhole;
- Prevent soil from adhering to the manhole walls and moving its various sections;
- Reduce energy loss.
URTECH RE insulating shell:
- Provides a thermal barrier to prevent freezing of the manhole walls or inside the manhole itself;
- Is made of polyurethane foam and polyurea that perfectly fits the manhole’s shape;
- Can quickly and easily be installed in overlapping layers.
Installation is a piece of cake.
Lightweight, no cutting required or bituminous sealer application, the URTECH RE insulating shell matches perfectly, simply and quickly the shape of the manhole.
