Extending the Lifespan of Storm Drainage Systems with CIPP

Storm drainage systems have huge responsibilities. These storm drains are vital infrastructure for managing rainwater, preventing flooding, and directing excess water where it needs to go. The challenge is that these systems are often hard to access and repair.

All too often, they are left to deteriorate from age, corrosion, or even structural challenges. But that doesn’t have to be the case. With solutions like CIPP, the lifespan of these systems can be significantly improved.

CIPP for Storm Drains

CIPP, or cured in place pipe, is a revolutionary approach to managing storm drainage upkeep. Whether it’s a matter of repairing leaks and cracks or simply being proactive in preventing these issues, CIPP can help.

This trenchless rehabilitation method repairs existing pipelines using a seamless liner. No extensive excavation that tears up roads or causes major disruption is necessary. The liner is saturated with a resinous material. This flexible liner is placed into the large-diameter pipeline or storm drainage system.

From there, the liner cures and creates a strong and sturdy inner pipe that adheres seamlessly to the pipes in place.

Cost-Effective Lifespan Extension

The CIPP liner will extend the lifespan of that pipeline for 50+ years. It rehabilitates the existing pipeline, which is another benefit. Since you don’t need heavy equipment and machinery, it’s an affordable solution.

CIPP materials are placed using technology and robotics. In the end, when you consider the reduction of labor and trenching as well as the extended lifespan, you’re saving substantial expenses. Plus, this can be installed and cured quickly, which leads to minimal disruption or downtime.

Durability

CIPP creates a brand-new pipe within the existing pipe there. That new pipe does not impact the flow rates of the pipeline. When the resin cures, it creates a strong material that is resistant to corrosion and wear. The barrier puts a protective layer on the pipes in question.

From harsh conditions to chemical exposure and even fluctuating temperatures, CIPP can handle it all. It’s durable and long-lasting, rather than just being a band-aid fix.

Minimal Disruption

Imagine the disruption of repairing or replacing most storm drains. They are often beneath roads, parking garages, and buildings. Not only do places have to shut down, but the ground must be torn up as well.

Thanks to CIPP, you reduce this disruption on all accounts. It’s non-invasive in every way. Most places can go on with business, and CIPP won’t tear up the environment around the drainage pipelines.

Environmentally Friendly

When you use it correctly, CIPP is environmentally friendly. A professional with proper training knows how to effectively handle the materials. They understand exactly what to do for safe use and handling.

When you eliminate the need for heavy machinery and equipment, this alone is far more eco-friendly. Plus, you rehabilitate the existing pipeline rather than wasting those materials. You reduce your carbon footprint in many ways here.
