Cured in place pipe (CIPP) - PIPE WITHIN A PIPE
Cured in place pipe (CIPP), also known as pipe within a pipe, is a proven, trenchless method for renewing aging and deteriorated industrial piping. CIPP uses epoxy resin-impregnated liners and an inversion process to form a new, seamless pipe within the existing, or in place pipe. The result is referred to as a pipe within a pipe.
Broken, cracked or leaking pipes are well known problems. The Cured in place pipe liner method for trenchless pipeline rehabilitation can be applied everywhere. We utilize the right equipment and a wide variety of resident liners for all conditions. Whether CIPP services are required for offset joints, frequent sharp bends up to 90 degrees and open ends, relatively straight sections, for manhole-to-manhole, or for seller manhole to control manhole sections, as well as bends up to 45 degrees, our highly trained, highly experienced professional technicians utilize the finest materials to bring case-specific solutions to your pipe needs.
The CIPP Process
EA Services Inc. technicians arrive on site ready to assess the pipeline repair requirements. We begin with pre-inspection by performing analysis and gathering data. Quality checks are performed throughout the entire process to assure the highest level of professionalism.
Our technicians proceed to calibrate the precise mixture for the resin. Extreme accuracy in calibrating the resin is essential to achieving dimensions and industry standards. For lighter jobs, we will utilize the cured in place liner gun, allowing for easy access from either tears or seller.
When the pipe is ready for renovation and the liner has been measured to the right length, the mixing procedure is started. For the liner to be impregnated with resin correctly, all air is vacuumed out of the liner first. The top end of the liner is inverted and the mixing pump set into action. The filling nozzle is inserted into the liner and the impregnation process is started. The resin mix is spread evenly throughout the liner by using the calibration rollers. The liner is then inserted into the CIPP liner gun and fastened to the attachment ring. When the inversion process is started, the impregnated liner tube is fed into the existing pipe. The curing process begins by spraying the resin evenly within the pipeline. If needed, introducing heat can speed up this process. When the liner has completely cured, the ends are cut. If there are any side connections, they can be opened quickly and simply. After the installation is complete, the result is a new pipe within a pipe without excavation.
EA Services Inc. not only offers the right materials, but also the experience, training and technical support necessary to perform the job correctly, the first time.
