Managing infrastructure like storm drains can be complicated. Most of them rest beneath roadways, buildings, and other solid spaces. This means storm drainage can be challenging to access and even more challenging to repair. In comes CIPP lining, and suddenly we have a revolutionary approach to making repairs. This allows us to maintain massive infrastructure that was once so difficult to keep up with. With innovation like CIPP, it’s a game-changer.

Understanding CIPP Lining

CIPP lining is also known as cured in place pipe lining. It’s a trenchless solution that allows you to rehabilitate and maintain pipelines more easily. The lining materials are saturated in a resin that will adhere and harden within the existing pipe. That means you maintain or restore a pipe that is already there and strengthen it for continued use. The saturated liner is inserted into the pipe with technology. It can be inserted using a manhole or any access point. Then, it just needs time to cure before a final video inspection is completed and the storm drainage system is good to go.

Top Benefits of CIPP Lining in Storm Drainage Systems

There are many benefits to consider for the use of CIPP within a storm drainage system. Let’s take a look at a few!

Minimal Disruption

CIPP is minimally invasive and therefore causes minimal disruption. That is positive for businesses, nearby structures or roadways, and the ground around the system. When you excavate to make repairs, it is highly disruptive. You are facing significant downtime. You are also facing a major inconvenience and accommodations for heavy equipment. That’s not even considering what it does to the ground as it is dug up. With CIPP, you just need a manhole or access point.

Cost-Effective

CIPP is incredibly cost-effective. Yes, the materials may cost slightly more. However, when you compare the total costs you likely will save money. While CIPP materials are pricier than traditional piping materials, you eliminate excessive labor and heavy equipment use. In the end, you pay less for CIPP and the repairs will last for a very long time.

Structural Integrity

The structural integrity of the pipe in question is going to be strengthened. CIPP itself is also highly reliable because it’s a seamless material. This improves the integrity of the storm drainage system, strengthening it significantly. The lining becomes a protective barrier that will prevent corrosion, leaks, and other infiltration.

Versatility

One of our favorite things about CIPP lining is the fact that it can be used on anything. There are very few limitations to this repair method. It can handle a wide range of pipe materials, shapes, sizes, and uses. If your storm drainage is PVC, no problem! And if it is something like concrete or clay, that’s not a problem, either.
