Indiana, like many other regions, faces the perennial challenge of managing rainwater during stormy weather. The tool that they use for this? Well, it’s storm drains, of course. Through the years, places like Indiana have been forced to figure out how to maintain this infrastructure. It’s certainly not an easy task. Most storm drains are hard to access. Whether it’s under-the-road drainage tunnels or massive systems underground, it’s a big task.
How do places handle the need for repairs? They turn to technology and innovation. It is time to forget digging and excavation. Instead, consider storm drain pipe lining or CIPP technology to make repairs.
Storm Drains – The Challenge
Stormwater management is one of those things most of us don’t even think about. We just let the things in place do their job, right? But what if those management systems failed? The results would likely be awful. With the systems in place, stormwater can run off the roads and surfaces and be redirected elsewhere. This is so important in areas where the water can’t soak into the ground. Or maybe it can’t soak in fast enough.
The challenge is the location and access to these systems. We can see where the stormwater goes, but there is a massive system integrated together to direct the water. That’s the challenge. If one piece of the system fails, it leads to major issues. And yet, accessing these locations for repairs or maintenance is very difficult.
CIPP Technology Saves the Day
In comes CIPP or storm drain pipe lining technology, and the issue is simplified. Suddenly what seems hopeless isn’t so hard. CIPP can be applied without digging or excavation. The professionals just need an access point or a utility hole. It’s a simple process to get the repairs made and keep the drainage systems operating at full potential.
CIPP has been around for several decades now, but the technology has continued to improve through the years. It simply uses a liner that is saturated with resin and placed into the pipe. The resin then just has to cure, and the pipe is repaired and ready for action. Overall, it takes a few hours typically to put that pipe back into work.
The Advantages of CIPP for Storm Drains
CIPP has a lot of great benefits. Let’s go over our top choices:
- Minimal disruption times thanks to quick and simple technology
- Cost-effective and long-lasting solution
- Environmentally sustainable approach
- Improve performance and longevity
Case Study: Indianapolis’ Experience
Indianapolis, Indiana embraces the possibility of CIPP to manage their storm drainage challenges. They partner with engineering firms and professional companies that can help to implement CIPP technology for local needs. With CIPP implementation, they have seen much success with rehabilitation. This has helped to reduce flooding.
One notable project involved the rehabilitation of a critical stormwater conduit in downtown Indianapolis using CIPP technology. The project received a lot of praise. It caused very little disruption, was completed ahead of schedule, and cost less than they originally anticipated.
