Manhole Repair Using Prestressed Concrete Lintels

In this video, I show you how I repair a collapsed manhole cover.
The brickwork that was supporting the frame had collapsed into the manhole and the chamber below, this was probably caused by heavy traffic going over the manhole cover so I had to strip it all back to allow for some prestressed lintels to go across the manhole and bridge the manhole, so I could set the frame back in. I used prestressed lintels to do this. A prestressed lintel means they have heightened strength by the way of steel wires which have been set to high tension, running through the middle of the lintel.
They are designed to support structural loadings above openings in internal and external masonry walls and worked perfectly for bridging over the manhole so I could set the frame back in and do the repairs.

Hi great job , we have a manhole cover fitted in a resin driveway that has started to sink and the company that installed the driveway simply don't seem interested in sorting it out. Don't suppose you are in Newcastle Upon Tyne ?

Thanks mate 👍 Yeah you got to strengthen up the manhole from underneath if you have traffic going over it sounds like they didn't if I was in the area mate i could help you out , I'm from the northeast but live down London I hope you get it sorted though mate that's a right pain 😕 Thanks for stopping by the vid and all the best mate 👍 👊
