Time is money in industrial settings, which means you don’t have time to be down for weeks for a pipe repair. Industrial no-dig pipe repair offers efficiency that will save time, money, repairs, and a lot of hassle. A critical pipe system failure means the clock starts ticking right away. It doesn’t have to mean extensive downtime for costly excavations.
In this guide, learn more about the efficiency of no-dig pipe repair solutions in the industrial realm.
What is Industrial No-Dig Pipe Repair?
No-dig pipe repair is all about utilizing trenchless technology when a repair is made. Trenchless technology allows us to restore damaged pipelines without requiring excavation to do so. This means no digging, and far less invasion or damage because of digging.
The most common no-dig solution is CIPP, but there are additional methods available. CIPP uses a liner with resin on the exterior. It is flexible and seamless. The liner is put into the pipeline and then will inflate to fit perfectly. We then cure the resin, and it creates a hard pipe that will be like a brand-new pipe there.
Some other commonly used trenchless methods include:
- Slip lining with a smaller pipe insert
- Pipe bursting, for breaking away and replacing simultaneously
- Spot repairs for small, targeted fixes
These solutions streamline the process and make it far easier to complete repairs.
Why Industrial No-Dig Pipe Repair?
Industrial systems typically have complex layouts and high performance demands. Any downtime is money down the drain. Shutting down operations for any length of time hurts, so excavation simply isn’t a feasible option. This is where no-dig solutions really shine:
- Minimal downtime, sometimes even allowing facilities to stay operational throughout repairs
- Non-invasive with no flooring torn up, no digging, and no halting production
- Cost-effective by reducing excavation equipment, labor costs, and repairs after excavation
- Long-lasting results that last for 50+ years
Industrial Setting Applications
Not sure if this is the right fit for your facility? We can apply trenchless solutions for a variety of pipe types, locations, and needs. Here are a few examples:
- Process piping and chemical lines
- Stormwater and wastewater systems
- Cooling systems and HVAC drains
- Underground utilities and mainlines
- Vertical stacks and pipelines
It’s incredibly versatile and can handle most needs.
Understanding the Process
The process for CIPP and other similar solutions is highly customized to meet your unique needs.
Here is a look at the general process:
- Inspect and assess the pipeline with video technology to evaluate condition and plan repairs
- Clean and prepare the pipeline with high-pressure jetting systems to remove any debris or corrosion from the line
- Install the seamless flexible liner inside the pipe
- Cure the liner using the chosen method
- Complete a final inspection of repairs and test the line
