In a world where pipelines are often complex and difficult to access, we need revolutionary pipe lining systems and technology to keep things operating as they should. Solutions such as CIPP and similar other technology provide just such an option. When compared to traditional excavation and disruptive methods, it is no wonder these are taking center stage.
Recent and continued advancements have revolutionized the industry in a way we’ve never seen before. Now, pipe repair and maintenance are far simpler and more effective than ever before.
What is Wrong with Traditional Pipe Repair?
Don’t get us wrong. There may be scenarios where traditional methods are still the best option. However, technology has made significant advancements. With the systems and technology available now, there are often better choices.
These are the downsides to traditional excavation and repair:
- Higher costs
- Massive disruption
- Negative environmental impact
- Invasive and complicated
Yet advancement has provided us with the means to make repairs and overcome many of these challenges.
The Answer? Pipe Lining Systems
Thankfully, unique systems that use a lining and technological approach make things so much easier. Popular technology like CIPP involves access through a utility hole or an access point. These scenarios require an entry to push a liner into the pipe and make repairs as needed.
It usually works something like this:
- A video inspection of the pipeline in question
- Cleaning out the pipe to prepare it for repair
- Inserting the flexible liner solution of choice
- Giving the liner’s resin time to cure and harden
- Completing a final video inspection of a job well done
The system works very well. Those liners are seamless and flexible, so they fit anywhere. When the work is complete, it’s like there is a brand-new pipe there. Curing time can also be sped up by using UV technology.
The Benefits of Pipe Lining Systems
Let’s take a look at the benefits. What makes these systems so much better than traditional repairs?
- Highly cost-effective compared to labor, excavation, and downtime. These are durable and long-lasting as well.
- Minimizing disruption and downtime caused by digging and excavation
- Rehabilitating the existing pipe provides an eco-friendly approach with less waste. Plus, you don’t have emissions from the excavation equipment
- Highly durable materials last for 50+ years
- Incredibly versatile for nearly any pipe materials or use
When you compare revolutionary methods to traditional methods, it just makes sense. Technology has provided us with many great options. Why use unnecessary digging when you can turn to modern solutions that are just as good, if not better?
Pipe Lining Systems Are the Future
Modern innovation is revolutionizing the industry because it works. With reliable and affordable choices, it’s easy to see why these are the popular options for pipeline repair needs. Technology continues to evolve and improves more every day. These systems are paving the way to a more sustainable and resilient future in the pipeline industry.
