THE PROCESS OF PIPE RELINING

FROM PLANNING TO COMPLETION WITH CONSISTENCY

– Benefits of relining

Pipe relining vs. Pipe replacement

Traditional pipe replacement is a tedious process involving excavating trenches, disposing of old pipes, and fitting new ones. It often disrupts daily activities and landscaping, sometimes even affecting traffic. In contrast, sewer pipe relining is a non-destructive technique that restores the damaged pipe from within, eliminating extensive digging. The numerous benefits of sewer relining solutions make it the go-to choice for contractors, and it is possible to perform for pretty much any type of pipe, regardless the customer have ceramic, PVC, or cast iron pipes that needs relining.

Minimal disruption

Sewer relining is conducted from the interior of the pipe, eliminating the need for digging and significantly reducing disruptions.

Quick repairs

Traditional pipe repair techniques can take days or weeks to complete. In contrast, sewer relining is often completed within hours, minimizing downtime and expediting the repair process.

Cost-effective

Excavation-based pipe repair methods can significantly increase costs. In contrast, sewer relining circumvents the need for digging, reducing labor and material costs and offering a more economical solution.

Durable repairs

The liner used in the pipe relining process forms a robust, seamless, and enduring “pipe within a pipe” inside the existing infrastructure, offering a robust and long-term solution for your clients.

FAQ

Pipe liners can be made from various materials, including epoxy resins, polyethylene, polyurethane, fiberglass, or PVC. The choice of material depends on factors such as the type of pipe, the intended use, and environmental conditions.

Pipe lining involves inserting a new liner into an existing pipe and bonding it to the inner surface. Pipe coating refers to applying a protective layer on the external or internal surface of a pipe to prevent corrosion, reduce friction, or improve flow characteristics.

Pipe liners are typically installed using a method called “cured-in-place pipe” (CIPP) relining. This involves inserting a flexible liner coated with resin into the damaged pipe, inflating it, and then curing the resin with heat or UV light. Once cured, the liner forms a new pipe within the old one.

The best material for pipe relining depends on factors such as the type of pipe, the extent of the damage, and the intended use. Epoxy resin is commonly used for its durability, adhesion, and resistance to chemicals and corrosion.

The curing time for pipe liners depends on factors such as the type of resin used, the ambient temperature, and the curing method. Typically, it takes a few hours to cure fully, but some resins may take longer.

The life expectancy of a pipe liner varies depending on factors such as the material used, the installation process, and the environment. Properly installed pipe liners can last anywhere from 25 to 50 years.

There are several types of pipe relining methods, including Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining, pull-in-place lining, pipe bursting, and slip lining. Each method has its own advantages and limitations, depending on factors such as pipe size, location, and extent of damage.

Pipe relining solution can last anywhere from 25 to 50 years, depending on factors such as the material used, the installation process, and the environment in which the pipes are located.

The procedure of relining typically involves inspecting the damaged pipe with a camera, cleaning and preparing the pipe surface, inserting a liner coated with resin, inflating the liner, and curing the resin to form a new pipe within the old one.

The most suitable material for a sewer relining depends on factors such as the type of pipe, the extent of damage, and the intended use of the pipe. Epoxy resin is commonly used for its durability, adhesion, and resistance to chemicals and corrosion.
