An Environmentally Sound Alternative To Underground Pipe Rehabilitation

pipepatchThe increasing rate of sanitary and storm sewer deterioration requires an efficient and cost-effective rehabilitation solution. PipePatch’s trenchless technology replaces the need for contractors to carefully dig while maneuvering around utilities to unearth the area in need of repair.

By using PipePatch’s trenchless technology methods, you are reducing the high costs associated with traditional dig methods of pipe rehabilitation. Costs such as replacing existing surfaces like sidewalks, pavement, landscape, brick pavers, sod and so on.
PipePatch’s trenchless technology also eliminates the negative impacts on the daily life and activities of people, businesses, homes and traffic in the area. Undesirable noise and environmental pollution are also eliminated with PipePatch’s trenchless technology

PipePatch® Advantages

PipePatch Resin

PipePatch utilizes a patented non-hazardous resin that is odor-less, non-flammable and cures in the presence of water. With outstanding bonding properties to most materials and resistance to 63+ chemicals and oils the PipePatch resin requires no special transport or disposal considerations.

PipePatch Liner

The key design consideration in CIPP liner installation is the ability of the cured-in-place pipe to withstand buckling. Buckling occurs due to persistent loads from ground water, soil, and live loads, which causes the pipe to creep reducing its capability to resist external pressures. The resin and lining tube type combine to determine potential buckling. There are generically two types of lining – non-reinforced and reinforced liners. PipePatch uses a fiberglass reinforced liner to avoid any potential buckling.
