What is the process for CIPP Cured in Place Pipe Lining?
CIPP is a trenchless restoration design method used to repair existing pipelines. It has become widely used in the trenchless pipeline repair industry. First, the existing pipeline is cleaned, and any blockages and intrusions are removed. Next, a polystyrene liner is inserted into the existing pipe and inflated. Once inflated and in place, the liner is heat-treated and cured. Then it will attach to the inner walls of the existing pipe and acts as the new pipeline. To sum up, the cured liner forms a seamless, tight-fitting, corrosion, and root resistant replacement pipe that can last a lifetime.
