B Style Cellar Door Installation across the Finger Lakes, NY

EcoSpect installs Steelway B Style doors for new installations and replacements on low grade basement entrances throughout the Finger Lakes, including Seneca Falls, Auburn, Watkins Glen, and Geneva. Steelway is made in the USA. If you have an existing Bilco on a low grade entrance that needs replacing, the Steelway B Style is the American-made replacement we install. Each unit is custom fabricated from a 6 point measurement with a raised threshold frame that keeps surface water out at the source rather than relying solely on the door seal. Call EcoSpect at (315) 679-6351 to schedule your assessment.

Polyurethane Systems for Infrastructure Applications

Our polyurethanes are formulated to meet the needs of your individual project goals and geotechnical conditions. The polyurethane systems are generally installed by injection through 5/8” holes in the concrete or through 1/2” tubes driven to targeted weak zones. Once injected the polyurethane expands with designed reaction times and expansion rates to fill voids and lift or seal the structure.

Infrastructure Applications

Lateral Lines and Manholes

Our hydrophobic formulas are ideal for rehabilitating sewer infrastructure in a variety of challenging geo technical conditions.

Transportation Infrastructure

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles... Terrathane polyurethanes are ideal for stabilizing our critical transportation infrastructure.

Dams, Seawalls, and Levees

Our hydro phobic, environmentally inert polyurethanes help stabilize seawall, levees, and dams against water seepage and soil loss.
