APR’s Expertise in Large Pipe Repair: Handling Pipes Up to 120 Inches in Diameter

When it comes to large pipe repair, it requires expertise and knowledge to handle the task. Large-diameter pipes up to 120 inches are often resolved the same ways as other sizes of pipes. The challenge is that their size and their locations often make repairs complex. With the proper knowledge and expertise, Advanced Pipe Repair can handle almost any diameter of piping with advanced technology and skills, and we can do it all while avoiding excavation and disruptive practices.

One of the best things about technologies like CIPP is they allow access to critical piping systems, and they make repairs to even large-diameter pipes that are up to 120 inches in diameter.

Consider the Challenges of Large Pipe Repair

Large pipes function like many other pipelines, but they have some unique challenges in comparison. These large pipelines are not always easy to access. In fact, when you think about a pipeline that is large enough for a person to walk through, where would those be placed? These are the pipelines that you might find handling municipal infrastructure and buried deep beneath the ground. Or perhaps they are the pipelines for stormwater management that are beneath roads and highways. These are just two examples of their complexities.

These are some of the common challenges that require specialized expertise to handle these pipelines:

• Structural Integrity: these pipes often need higher structural requirements because they must handle much higher loads
• Access Constraints: location is certainly challenging, and these are generally in the hardest-to-reach areas
• Flow Management: while repairs are made, the flow of these lines has to be managed, whether it’s disrupted or redirected – this requires planning
• Materials: these pipelines are made with a variety of materials, and it’s important that the right materials be used for repairs to ensure longevity and performance

With the right knowledge and expertise, these challenges will not hold us back. The good news is that solutions like CIPP can handle all of these challenges and more.

APR’s Advanced Solutions for Large Pipe Repair

At Advanced Pipe Repair, we believe in investing in technology and advanced solutions to handle large pipes up to 120 diameters and more. No matter the location of the pipeline, as long as we can find an access point, we can handle the repairs with ease.

Our most common repair method is CIPP, or cured-in-place pipe. However, we also use robotics for diagnostics. Let’s look at each of these.

CIPP

CIPP is one of the best revolutionary methods available for pipeline repairs because it is reliable and there is no digging required. So for these lines that are harder to access and complex to work with, it’s a great fit. Cured-in-place pipe uses a liner that can be expanded to handle large-diameter pipes. The liner is coated in resin. We use technology to insert the liner into the pipe, inflate it, and then allow it to cure and harden to create the effect of a brand-new pipe.

Robotics

We use advanced robotic technology with live camera views to inspect pipelines so we can get clear images of their exact state at a given moment. This allows us to accurately diagnose an issue and properly plan for any repairs or rehabilitation needs. The benefit of robotics is real-time views and access to those complex and challenging pipeline locations.
