Osmose launches no-dig restoration system for underground utility structures
(UI) - Osmose Utilities Services has introduced a new composite-based restoration system designed to extend the service life of aging underground utility structures, offering electric utilities an alternative to excavation and full asset replacement.
The technology is intended for rehabilitation of underground assets such as vaults and manholes and can typically be installed in two to five days. According to the company, the system allows utilities to restore deteriorated structures while minimizing customer disruption and maintaining service continuity. In many applications, electrical equipment can remain energized during installation, reducing the need for outages.
Osmose will serve as the exclusive certified installer and program delivery partner for the restoration technology, which was developed by CFI Composites. The company said it will provide turnkey services including asset assessment, engineering integration, installation and quality assurance throughout the United States and Canada, excluding California.
The restoration system is designed to provide long-term structural performance while helping utilities defer costly replacement projects. Osmose said the technology uses fire-resistant, non-toxic materials and is backed by a 50-year warranty against cracking and spalling. The launch expands the company's portfolio of underground infrastructure life-extension solutions as utilities continue seeking cost-effective ways to manage aging assets and improve system reliability.
