Inspection to Rehabilitation: A Risk Based Approach to Managing Manhole Rehabilitation Dollars
Hillsborough County, FL Water Resources Services
Presentation Overview
• Project Background• Manhole Structural Condition Assessment• Manhole Repair Recommendation Approach• Repair Prioritization Using Risk Based
Evaluation• Review Benefits of Approach
Why Did the Approach Make Sense?
• Risk of failure was determined for every manholes• Maximizes the benefits versus costs• Simplifies evaluation of condition, risk and the extent
of rehabilitation • Provides ability to compare cost of discrete versus
comprehensive repairs for each manhole• Provides a basis for estimating bid item quantities
and construction costs
Additional Benefit
• Provides a better understanding of the financial requirements for manhole rehabilitation
• Demonstrated the financial benefits of discrete rehabilitation
• Elevated awareness of the impact of infiltration and corrosion on manhole deterioration
• Provides a repeatable process for the future

Excellent•Acceptable Condition
•Minor Defects only
Good •Minimal collapse likelihood in short-term, but
potential for future deterioration
•Defects that have not begun to deteriorate
Fair •Collapse unlikely in near future but further
deterioration likely
•Moderate defects that continue to deteriorate
Poor •Collapse likely in foreseeable future
•Severe defects that can become a 5 in the near future
Immediate Attention•Collapse or collapse imminent
•Defects requiring immediate attention

Manhole Rehabilitation Recommendations
• 1,526 manholes with a structural grade of 5 or 4 were evaluated
• Defects were identified in each manhole component• The extent of rehabilitation was determined• Provided for each Service Area:
– Rehabilitation recommendations,– Bid item quantities, and– Estimate of the most probable construction cost.
Manhole Rehabilitation Recommendations
• Two methods of repair were considered– Discrete repair of
localized manhole components
– Comprehensive, frame to invert repair and epoxy coating
Manhole Rehabilitation Recommendations
• Factors Considered– Location of defect in
manhole– Extent of defects in
manhole– Depth of manhole – Infiltration– Corrosion
Manhole Rehabilitation Recommendations
• MS Access application developed to review defects and to evaluate the extent of repair required

Manhole Rehabilitation Recommendations
• 1,373 Manholes (90%) - Comprehensive, frame to invert repair and epoxy coating recommended
• 153 Manholes (10%) - Discrete repair of localized manhole components recommended
• $381,000 cost savings realized

Initial Deliverable
• Maps indicating the location of manholes recommended for repair
• Repair recommendations, costs and bid item quantities for each of the 1,526 manholes
• Summary of repair costs and quantities for manholes located within 3 service areas
• Bid tabulations and cost estimates developed for each of the 3 service areas
Initial Deliverable
• Total estimated repair costs:– Area 1 $2,187,000– Area 2 $1,115,000– Area 3 $1,320,000
• Total Cost: $4,622,000• Prioritization – Address
grade 5 manholes then grade 4 manholes

Initial Deliverable• Issues
– Total rehabilitation cost was more than budget
– Service Area approach didn’t maximize cost/benefit
– Risk based approach must be developed
• Recommendations must consider risk across entire service area
• Must have ability to adjust scope in future years based on available funds

Refined Prioritization ApproachRisk-based Prioritization Approach
Consequence of Failure
• Information gathered from Client records, zoning, GIS• Considered the consequences of a manhole failure on
