Sewer Lining with UV Curing Technology

Our UV Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP) lining process begins with a thorough inspection and cleaning of the existing pipe. Then, we can insert a specially manufactured liner impregnated with UV-sensitive resin into the damaged pipe. This liner is essentially a seamless tube that's custom-made to fit the exact dimensions of your existing pipe.

Once properly positioned, we can introduce UV light trains into the liner, triggering a chemical reaction that causes the resin to harden and form a new, structurally sound pipe within the old one. This "pipe within a pipe" is typically stronger than the original and can extend the life of your sewer system by 50 years or more.

When You Might Need UV Pipe Lining

Over time, pipes can develop cracks, breaks, or separations due to ground movement, root intrusion, or natural deterioration. Traditional repair methods would require extensive digging, potentially destroying landscaping, driveways, or other surface features.

UV CIPP lining eliminates these concerns by requiring minimal access points, usually through existing manholes or small access pits. This means less disruption to your property, significantly lower restoration costs, and much faster completion times – often just a day or two compared to weeks for traditional excavation methods. Additionally, the smooth interior surface of the new liner often improves flow capacity and reduces the likelihood of future blockages.

What Are the Benefits of UV Pipe Lining?

Some of the key benefits of this pipe rehabilitation method include:

• Corrosion resistance: The materials used in UV pipe lining are inherently resistant to chemical attack and corrosion. This resistance extends the service life of the rehabilitated pipe and protects against common issues that typically plague traditional pipe materials.
• Cost-efficiency: While the initial investment in UV pipe lining may seem significant, it typically costs 30-50% less than traditional dig-and-replace methods. The reduced labor requirements, minimal restoration needs, and lower equipment costs contribute to substantial overall savings, making it a financially sound choice for property owners.
• Eco-friendliness: This method significantly reduces the environmental impact compared to traditional pipe replacement. Less excavation means reduced soil disruption, lower fuel consumption from heavy equipment, and minimal material waste, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint.
• Improved flow capacity: The smooth, seamless surface of UV-cured liners enhances flow characteristics within the pipe system. This improved hydraulic capacity helps prevent future blockages and ensures optimal performance, often exceeding the flow capacity of the original pipe.
• Less maintenance: The smooth, joint-free interior of UV-cured liners reduces the likelihood of root intrusion, debris accumulation, and other common maintenance issues. This results in lower long-term maintenance costs and fewer service disruptions over the lifetime of the pipe.
• Minimal disruption: As we mentioned, this trenchless method means your property remains largely untouched, and business operations or residential activities can continue with minimal interruption during the repair process.
• More durability: UV-cured pipe liners are engineered to last 50+ years, offering exceptional structural strength and stability. The cured liner forms a fully structural new pipe within the old one, capable of handling the full range of loading conditions while maintaining its integrity.
• Quick results: The UV curing process is remarkably efficient, often completing full pipe rehabilitation within hours rather than days or weeks. The rapid curing time, combined with minimal setup and cleanup requirements, means your sewer system can be back in service the same day in many cases.

The advantages of UV pipe lining make it a superior choice for most pipe rehabilitation projects.
