Man Entry Lining Examples
The following are a few examples of the Man-Entry lining works that we have recently undertaken.

Title: |
Cupar, Fife. Lining of 279m of 1450mm x 850mm stone culvert in Town Centre. Completed ahead of Time and with a saving on Budget |
|---|---|
| Client: | SCOTTISH WATER SOLUTIONS |
| Project: | SEWER REHABILITATION – CUPAR, FIFE |
| Value: | £200K + |
| Planned duration: | 8 weeks (Actually completed in 6½ weeks) |
The project was to rehabilitate the existing main sewer running beneath St.Catherine Street and Bonnygate in Cupar, Fife. This being the main tourist route to St.Andrews amongst other places, to say it was traffic sensitive would be a gross understatement. Previous emergency works carried out on this sewer, due to collapses in the past had brought the town to a standstill, resulting in a damaged reputation for Scottish Water.
After detailed examination by the FMS man entry survey team, we were able to put forward designs, options and solutions to rehabilitate the 279 Lm of 1450mm high x 850mm wide stone arched sewer including its 43 lateral connections and 14 side entry sewers.
Regardless of which rehabilitation technique could be employed, traffic and public disruption would be inevitable, however, with detailed planning and close liaison with all parties concerned the effect could be minimised. FMS were involved at all stages in the development of the plan, working closely with Scottish Water Solutions, Fife Roads, Fife Police, Community representatives, MP’s etc.
FMS took responsibility for the extensive and detailed Traffic Management plan, which included a major contra flow and diversion system with advanced detailed signage starting a number of miles outside Cupar itself in all directions. FMS brought on board Contraflow Ltd., a Scottish TM Specialist, to install and maintain the system for the duration of the works.
The NO DIG solution offered was to install an Insitu Sprayed Ferrocement Lining, which is a Wrc approved Type 1 structural lining system in accordance with Water Industry Specification No. 04 – 12 – 06. By incorporating precast ferrocement inverts, (FMS Patented element) the sewers existing flow could be flumed rather than overpumped, thus allowing rehabilitation to proceed in live conditions without disruption of service.

Title: |
Edith Weston Pumping Station |
|---|---|
| Client: | BARHALE CONSTRUCTION FOR ANGLIAN WATER |
| Project: | RELINING OF WET WELL |
Ferro Monk were awarded the contract to recoat the wet well at Edith Weston, which was suffering severe hydrogen sulphide attack.
Wet chambers and surfaces are traditionally difficult to deal with, but Ferro Monk were able to accomplish this challenging project thanks to their use of
Ultracoat, a sprayed epoxy resin system, with excellent characteristics for use
in damp environments.
Following initial rigorous cleaning and preparation of the wet well, the two part
100% solid structured epoxy resin was applied using patented equipment onto
the still damp surface and the work progressed.
Once spraying was completed, the asset was quickly brought back into
operation.
Developed and well-proven in the USA by Warren Environmental and more
recently in partnership with Fernco Environmental, Ferro Monk is delighted to
be the first approved partner in the UK offering a strong track record and
excellent technical capabilities in the drainage repair industry.
Key benefits of Ultracoat
Sprayable onto damp substrates: reacts and bonds well to damp surfaces.
Speed: assets can be brought into use in around two hours from application.
Chemical resistance: tolerant to high levels of sulphur dioxide, acids and
Alkalis.
High bond strength on many backgrounds including concrete, steel, brick,
fibreglass and asbestos.
Improves structural integrity: strengthens corroded / weakened structures such as tanks, chambers, manholes and culverts.
Environmentally friendly: 100% epoxy with no volatile organic compounds.
High safety values: can be applied in confined spaces, no combustion or
hazardous material risks.
Resistant to algae and bacterial growth.
Exceptional versatility: sprayed insitu, it will take the shape of the substrate.
Strong track record: in use for almost twenty years, with over 45,000
manhole chambers rehabilitated to date.
Admirable credentials: the only coating approved by the US Navy for potable
water, fuel oil and sewerage applications.
