What is CIPP Lining?
Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) is a proven trenchless rehabilitation method that creates a seamless "pipe-within-a-pipe" solution for existing pipelines. Our advanced CIPP technology rehabilitates pipes ranging from 75mm to 1500mm in diameter, providing a cost-effective alternative to complete pipe replacement.
How CIPP Works:
Our VOC-free system meets ASTM International standards and consists of a specialized liner made from a combination of felt and fiberglass materials mixed with a calibrated resin system. Once the liner is inserted and exposed to controlled air pressure, it hardens and transforms into a new, structurally sound pipe interior.
CIPP Technology Options
Traditional Steam-Cured CIPP
Best for: Standard municipal applications, longer pipe runs, cost-sensitive projects
Proven track record in municipal infrastructure
Excellent for pipes up to 1500mm diameter
Cost-effective for standard rehabilitation needs
UV-Cured CIPP (Advanced Technology)
Best for: Urban environments, tight schedules, environmentally sensitive locations
-
Faster installation and cure times - cures in minutes, not hours
-
No washout risk during the installation process
-
Higher mechanical strength than traditional steam-cured alternatives

The CIPP Installation Process
1. Infrastructure Assessment
Robotic CCTV inspection identifies specific rehabilitation needs and determines optimal liner specifications.
4. Curing Process
Steam or UV curing transforms the liner into a structurally sound, permanent pipe interior.
2. Preparation & Cleaning
High-powered cleaning systems remove debris and prepare pipe surfaces for optimal liner adhesion.
5. Quality Verification
Post-installation inspection confirms proper cure and structural integrity.
3. Liner Installation
Calibrated liner insertion using specialized equipment and controlled installation procedures.
