Lowering Costs and Stabilizing Pipes Decreasing the total amount of I/I in your wastewater system is equal to increasing your total system capacity. Michels uses chemical grout to seal systems and fill void areas around the structure. The results? Elimination of excess water Lower overall water treatment costs Reduced sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) Pipe Stabilization Elimination of sinkholes, shifting, broken pipes and collapses Holistic Approach: Michels addresses all four points of possible I/I entry: Mainlines, laterals, lateral connections and manholes. Using both the injection and packer methods, we can seal pipes and structures from 6 inches to 108 inches in diameter. Certified Technicians: Our experienced grouters have achieved the 300-level Certified Grouting Technician recognition for the application of AV-100 and acrylamide grouts through Avanti International. CIPP and Grout Work Together: Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining extends the structural integrity of the pipe system while grouting seals the lateral connections and utility manhole interface. In combination, these trenchless technologies renew the pipe system and provide a proven, watertight solution. Michels crews perform both services.

Holistic Approach: Michels addresses all four points of possible I/I entry: Mainlines, laterals, lateral connections and manholes. Using both the injection and packer methods, we can seal pipes and structures from 6 inches to 108 inches in diameter.

Certified Technicians: Our experienced grouters have achieved the 300-level Certified Grouting Technician recognition for the application of AV-100 and acrylamide grouts through Avanti International.

CIPP and Grout Work Together: Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining extends the structural integrity of the pipe system while grouting seals the lateral connections and utility manhole interface. In combination, these trenchless technologies renew the pipe system and provide a proven, watertight solution. Michels crews perform both services.
