Industrial Pipe Cleaning

EA Services Inc. provides pipe cleaning and tube cleaning services including high pressure cleaning, robotic pipe cleaning, and specialized large pipe cleaning for industrial, commercial and residential piping systems.

Over time, pipes can collect debris, waste, root masses, calcite deposits, and other blockages, and employing the proper pipeline cleaning techniques is critical to pipeline rehabilitation.

EA Services Inc. pipeline cleaning removes deposits of many varieties from inside industrial pipes with minimum damage to the pipe. Our specialized techniques and pipe cleaning equipment for industrial pipes and sewer and drain pipes result in increased flows, improved productivity and reduced buildup.

Pipe Cleaning Methods

EA Services Inc. employs a number of methods for our industrial pipe cleaning services, including high pressure cleaning and robotic pipe cleaning. We also specialize in large pipe cleaning for large diameter pipes.

EA Services Inc. industrial pipe cleaning services remove debris from concrete, PVC, steel, and other pipe materials. Our cleaning methods and techniques are designed to reduce downtime, maximize safety, and minimize any damage to the pipe, with time and cost savings for our clients.

For each project and jobsite, technicians carefully assess the unique conditions and challenges of the job to determine the methods and pipe cleaning equipment that will be most appropriate for successful project completion. Pipe size and material are taken into consideration in determining pipe cleaning methods, as well as the type and size of debris obstructing the pipe. For sewer and drain pipes, and especially for large pipe cleaning projects, there are additional considerations, including accessibility, surface land use, flow volume, and downtime costs and risks that also factor into the cleaning methods and equipment used. EA Services Inc. balances all of these considerations in creating a work plan tailored to the client’s needs.

Pipeline Pigging Services

Industrial Pipeline Pigging Services can both remove unwanted materials and perform internal inspections by utilizing “pigs,” any of a large range of devices used to remove unwanted substance from pipelines. This cleaning method serves a variety of industries and can be the solution to an otherwise impossible pipeline need.

High Pressure Cleaning

Standard high pressure cleaning services for industrial pipes and sewer and drain pipe cleaning utilize combination flusher and vacuum units with high flow rates for flushing and removing debris. During the high-pressure cleaning process, high-pressure water pumps and hoses with flushing head attachments clean debris from inside of the pipe, while pipe walls are pressure-cleaned as the hose is pulled through the pipe. High thrust capabilities are sometimes needed for pulling the hose long distances.

After debris is loosened from pipe walls, the water then pulls the suspended debris back to the manhole where it can be vacuumed or otherwise removed. For sewer and drain pipe cleaning, special filtering systems can remove debris from the water, with filtered water then pumped back into the sewer.

Specialized units with larger hoses, higher water output and higher pressure are also available for jobs that require it. Industrial pipe cleaning and tube cleaning typically require higher pressures and custom spray patterns (available with customizable flushing head attachments) for successful cleaning.

Specialized nozzles are also available for navigating elbows and tees, cleaning laterals, and for high thrust angles.

Robotic Pipe Cleaning

For some industrial pipe cleaning jobs, a robotic cutter is used to detach a blockage, such as a root mass or hardened calcite deposit, from the wall of a pipe. The range of movement and versatility of a robotic cutter provides an important function for difficult pipe cleaning job such as these. Robotic pipe cleaning utilizes CCTV technology and specialized reaming attachments propelled by hydraulic motors. Reaming and cutting is guided and monitored by CCTV cameras while trained field technicians assess progress. After blockages are detached from pipe walls, the debris is read to be flushed and removed.

Advantages of Industrial Pipe Cleaning

Industrial, commercial, and residential piping systems are a critically important part of the community's infrastructure. Sewer cleaning, tube cleaning, and industrial cleaning prevent blockages in pipes and contribute to pipe rehabilitation. EA Services Inc. is a proud provider of these invaluable services.
