Manhole Adjustment

What This Service Involves

Manhole frames that sit above or below the road surface create ride hazards and accelerate pavement damage around the casting. Our crews adjust frames and covers to finished grade, reset or replace failed castings, and restore the surrounding surface. Work is coordinated with paving and utility schedules so adjustments align with final road elevations. Completed adjustments improve ride quality and protect the structure below.

Benefits

Our Process

1) Survey casting elevations against finished grade; 2) Coordinate timing with paving and utility crews; 3) Adjust, reset, or replace frames and covers; 4) Restore the surrounding surface and verify grade

What Affects the Cost
