SA Pipe Relining has the ability to create a ‘pipe within a pipe’
Utilising technology, commonly referred to as Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP) and Pull-In-Place (PIP), SA Pipe Relining has the ability to create a ‘pipe within a pipe’. This is achieved using specific environmentally friendly, scientifically tested epoxy resins, creating a new seamless structural strength pipe, junction or sectional repair – within the host pipe without damage to structures, floors, landscapes or causing nuisance and inconvenience.
The seamless liner is custom made from fabric that is impregnated with specific environmentally friendly two part epoxy resins and a pre inserted bladder spanning the length of the liner. The liner is inserted into the pipeline through an inspection opening or access point and is positioned in the desired location. The bladder is then inflated using compressed air, causing the liner to mould to the host pipe, filling cracks, holes and spanning over any voids in the pipeline. The liner can be custom made to length, from 1m upwards allowing small sectional repairs to be carried out or complete mains relined.
The liner will adhere to PVC, Cast Iron, Concrete Pipe, Roll Groove, Galvanised Pipe, Copper, HDPE, Poly Pipe, Zincalume, Cardboard – absolutely anything.
This particular technology’s greatest advantage is the ability to structurally epoxy reline multiple angle bends, junctions and changes in pipe size with the option of only lining the area in need of repair. This provides significant cost savings and flexibility as the need to reline entire lengths of pipe from point of entry to point of repair is not necessarily required.
