Trenchless Pipe Replacement

CIPP is popular because it's less disruptive and often more cost-effective than traditional methods of pipe replacement, especially in areas where excavation is expensive or impractical. It's suitable for repairing leaks and cracks, root intrusion, and even corrosion in some types of pipes.

Here is our CIPP process works:

1. Inspection: First, the existing pipeline is inspected using a camera to identify the problem areas.

2. Cleaning: The pipe is then thoroughly cleaned, usually using hydro jetting or mechanical methods, to remove any obstructions and ensure a clean surface for the new liner.

3. Liner preparation: A felt liner, which is saturated with a special epoxy resin, is prepared according to the length and diameter of the existing pipe. This liner is the "new pipe."

4. Installation: The saturated liner is inserted into the existing pipe. It can be done from an access point and doesn't require extensive excavation. The liner is often inverted into place using water or air pressure.

5. Curing: Once in place, the liner is cured, or hardened. This can be done using hot water, steam, or sometimes ultraviolet light, depending on the type of resin used. Once the resin cures, it forms a solid, jointless new pipe within the old one.

6. Final Inspection: After the liner has fully cured, a final camera inspection is done to ensure the liner has adhered properly and is ready for use.
