  • Method and apparatus for coating interior surfaces
    Patent number: 5385752
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for coating an interior surface in which a spinning vaned plate is used to apply a low-water-content mortar-like substance to an interior surface, such as a manhole, wetwell or similar structure. A tank containing the mortar-like substance is positioned above the vaned plate, and a valve is located between the tank and the vaned plate for controlling the flow of mortar-like substance from the tank to the spinning vaned plate. An agitating element such as a vibrator head is associated with the tank for inducing the mortar-like substance to flow freely. The apparatus may be lowered into a structure, and the mortar-like substance applied to the interior walls without a worker having to enter the structure.
