Experts in trenchless sewer solutions for heritage, hospitality and housing.
Where Is CIPP Used? (Applications by Sector)
a. Gravity Sewers & Stormwater
CIPP is used for repairing sanitary sewers, storm drains, and culverts in residential and urban areas. It is suitable for both circular and non‑circular pipe shapes.
Benefits: Stops infiltration and root intrusion, and increases hydraulic flow by up to approximately 30%.
b. Pressure Lines (Water & Force Mains)
Used in potable water systems and force mains, CIPP requires pressure-rated liners capable of withstanding up to 250 psi. This method is especially useful in areas where surface excavation is restricted, such as beneath fences or paved surfaces.
c. Lateral Lines & Services
CIPP is applied to repair 2″–8″ lateral lines extending from homes or mains, with minimal disruption to yards and driveways.
d. Industrial, Commercial, Institutional
Suitable for chemical, gas, district heating, and industrial pipelines, CIPP can be applied to a wide range of diameters—up to 2.8 meters.
How It’s Done (Process Overview)
1. Inspection & Cleaning
CCTV or hydro‑jetting is used to identify blockages and assess the condition of the pipeline before lining.
2. Liner Preparation
A custom felt or fiberglass tube is impregnated with resin on-site, tailored to the specific pipe size and requirements.
3. Installation
The liner is inserted into the host pipe using either inversion or pull-in methods, typically driven by air or hydrostatic pressure.
4. Curing
The resin is cured using steam, hot water, or UV light depending on site conditions and liner type.
5. Connection & Testing
Laterals are reinstated using robotic cutters. The line is then pressure tested and quality checked per ASTM/ISO standards.
Benefits & Use Cases
- Minimal Disruption: No trenches; installed via existing access points—ideal in sensitive or urban environments.
- Structural Integrity: Fully structural liners extend pipe life by 50–100+ years.
- Hydraulic Efficiency: Smooth liners increase flow and reduce friction (approximately 30% improvement).
- Prevents Leakage & Intrusion: Acts as a robust barrier to roots and groundwater.
- Cost & Time Saving: Lower lifecycle costs than excavation; installation often completes in less than 24 hours.
- Environmentally Friendly: Reduces emissions and minimizes site disturbance.
