Silica dust, a pervasive and often invisible hazard in today’s manhole rebuilding industry, is a matter of increasing concern. Found commonly in operations involving the cutting of bricks, tiles, concrete, and some plastics, silica particles are an astonishing 100 times smaller than a grain of sand. This microscopic size means manhole rebuilding workers could be inhaling harmful silica without realizing
When you think of the utility industry, the latest virtual reality (VR) tech might not be the first thing that comes to mind.

“Road Penetrations Done Right!” Modern roadways are engineering marvels. They are subjected to the abuse of thousands of trucks and automobiles pounding over them day in and day out.

The contractors who perform road construction
Every time you pave a street the utility access points such as manholes and storm drains get adjusted to the new pavement elevation. Water valve boxes sometimes get overlooked and are not adjusted.

You are in charge of a lot of things as a municipal decision maker. Manholes might not seem like the highest priority when Mrs. Jenson is demanding the lawn at the park needs mowed before the ladies glee club has their annual picnic, and Dr. Strickland is asking why his street hasn’t been repaved in ten years.
