Manholes play a critical role in urban and municipal infrastructure, providing essential access to sewerage, drainage, water supply, and utility networks. However, over time — due to soil settlement, heavy traffic, monsoon-related ground shifting or wear and tear — many of these manholes sink, tilt or protrude above the surrounding road surface. This creates a trip hazard, causes damage to vehicles, compromises drainage, and leads to safety and maintenance issues.
That’s why manhole leveling — restoring manhole frames and covers to be flush with the road or pavement surface — is not just a cosmetic fix but a crucial step in ensuring road safety, longevity of infrastructure, and optimal traffic flow.
At Velosit India, we specialise in manhole leveling product using high-performance non-shrink grouts and cementitious mortars designed for India’s climate, load conditions, and infrastructure requirements.
Q: What causes manhole covers to become misaligned or uneven?
A: Frequent causes include soil settlement, heavy traffic loads, substandard initial installation, rainwater seepage or erosion, and lack of maintenance.
Q: How long does manhole leveling last with Velosit’s solution?
A: Using our high-performance non-shrink grout / repair mortar, the leveling typically remains stable for many years — often matching the lifespan of the surrounding pavement — provided standard maintenance is followed.
Q: Can you perform leveling in monsoon or during rains?
A: We recommend leveling during dry conditions for optimal curing and bonding of grout/mortar. For projects in monsoon-prone regions, we plan scheduling accordingly for best results.
Q: Do you also supply new manhole covers/frames, or only do leveling?
A: While our core offering on this page is leveling, we collaborate with trusted manhole cover manufacturers and can facilitate supply of compatible covers/frames as needed (cast iron, RCC, composite) — especially if the old cover is damaged or substandard.
