When a developing sinkhole threatened the safety and performance of a storm manhole in Golden Valley, Minnesota, the city had to act quickly to avoid costly repairs and widespread disruption. What made rehabilitation with OBIC and Summit Infrastructure the right choice for this project?

✔️Challenging Access: Location situated among a public park, residential neighborhood, active railroad tracks & overhead power lines
✔️Cost Effective: Replacement estimated at $1.5 million, while rehab was just a fraction of that cost
✔️Faster Timeline: No excavation means repairs happen quicker
✔️Long-Term Protection: OBIC products have proven performance with critical infrastructure

Head to our blog to dive into all of the details and learn how cities and municipalities can benefit from no-dig solutions.

In certain locations, replacement isn't just cost prohibitive. It's nearly impossible. Tight corridors, ancient streets, and a dense population meant traditional dig and replace methods just wouldn't work for this project in Israel. That's why OBIC's no-dig, high-performance lining system was the obvious answer. With minimal disruption, a quick return to service, and protection designed to last decades, it's easy to see why like OBIC is catching on around the world.

Success doesn’t start with lining; it starts with preparing the surface and site correctly. 💯

On this 26,000-gallon wastewater aeration tank project in Connecticut, Precision Trenchless faced tight constraints and sensitive surroundings, requiring extra steps during preparation. Despite complex conditions, the crew created a containment system, prepped the area, applied OBIC 1000 & OBIC 1150, and installed a new steel ladder on schedule. Best of all, this tank has long-term corrosion protection and structural durability for years to come.
