CIPP Lining Explained
CIPP is not new, but it is a modern solution. It has been around for decades. However, in recent years, it has significantly improved. Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is a tube-like liner that is inserted into the pipe and cured to adhere to the pipe. It creates a liner that is almost like a brand-new pipe inside your existing pipe.
The liner hardens, providing extensive repair to the pipeline in question. While the liner becomes like a new pipe within the pipe, it is still very thin and won’t impact the flow of the pipeline.
The top benefit of this modern repair for Texas pipelines is the ability to apply CIPP liners without digging.
The Process for CIPP Lining Application
Modern technology allows us to make repairs without digging. Updated technology like UV lighting also allows us to cure the CIPP quickly. The combination reduces your costs and your downtime for repairs. When you consider the fact that traditional plumbing repairs require digging, labor, and equipment, the difference is clear.
CIPP is a simple process but should always be handled by a trained professional. Here is how the process works:
- Complete an initial video camera inspection of the pipeline in question
- Plan for the necessary repairs to be made and prepare the pipe
- Insert CIPP through an access point or utility hole
- Place CIPP where repairs are needed and allow it to cure
- Complete a final inspection of repairs
CIPP curing time can vary depending on the damage in question and the extent of repairs. With LED UV technology, the time for curing can be sped up significantly.
When Can CIPP Be Used?
CIPP is suitable for almost any pipeline repair needs. You can even use this lining to be proactive against repairs for aging infrastructure. You can utilize the solution on any pipe material and for pipes that have different uses as well. It is even effective on curved and vertical pipelines.
CIPP cannot be used when you have a collapsed pipe or a severely corroded pipe. In these scenarios, your pipeline structure is at risk, and you will need replacement for those areas.
CIPP can handle nearly any other repair need with ease, and it lasts for more than 50 years when done right.
