The first step in CIPP is identifying the problem areas of the pipe. After damages are assessed and verified, there are a few ways to address the problem.
Conventional methods dictate point repair excavations to replace damaged sections of pipe. However, standard Pipe Services opts to utilize trenchless techniques by inserting a Cured-In-Place (CIPP) patch that spans one foot past the damaged section of the pipe. CIPP is a cost-effective, efficient method which is why this process is a popular choice across the country for pipe rehabilitation. Trenchless repair methods can be performed in as little as 2 hours and typically require no bypass pumping. In addition, there are several other benefits, such as:
- Structural repair of pipe without excavating
- Meets ASTM requirements & standards
- Corrosion resistance
- No excavation required
- No by-pass pumping required
- Eliminates infiltration & root intrusion
The cost may outweigh the benefit if a pipe is diagnosed as needing multiple CIPP repairs in one section. SPS analysis is the basepoint of a maximum of 4 CIPP repairs in one line section; it is time to consider full-length lining. Our professional workforce can determine this at early stages with CCTV inspection before work is initiated. We suggest CIPP repairs in:
- 4″ to 48″ pipe diameters
- Restore crown failure
- Repair cracked pipes
- Offset and open joint repairs
- Bridging of missing pipe
Spot repairs are installed using an ambient curing resin that will cure over a period of time. The mix design from the resin dictates the time required for the repair to be performed. Each project is unique, and curing methods are presented accordingly. Short Point Repairs are an excellent candidate for emergencies or for as long as required to cover the damaged area fully.
Standard Pipe Services (SPS) implements trenchless technology for all pipe rehabilitations. Pipe rehabilitation is the repairing or replacement of the underground network of sewer and water pipelines. To quote or blog on trenchless technology:
Trenchless Technology incorporates several pipe rehabilitation methods with little to no digging and is eco-friendly. It is, as it sounds, ‘trenchless’. Trenchless technologies offer quick, cost-effective solutions for repairing or replacing pipes and manholes while featuring non-disruptive strategies.
By cost-effective, trenchless doesn’t save pennies – it is about HALF the cost of digging up lines under the pavement or surface. Before trenchless technology, you would have to replace more of your sidewalk, driveway, decorative pavers, or cobblestone. Trenchless is a considerable money saving. Most trenchless repairs take one day and a few workers. But this is not every case. Contact us today to discuss how we can help you. You may also find helpful answers in our Blog or FAQ.
