or many years, when
smaller drainage and
sewer pipelines have
required repair due to
deterioration and/or leakage, it
has been necessary to either
remove the old pipe and replace
it with new, or insert a lining
into the existing pipe.
Oen in the modern industry
this will require a significant
amount of equipment and site
preparation to ensure that the
installation procedure can be
undertaken safely and efficiently
with minimum disruption to the
client or those living and
working nearby. With many of
the lining systems currently
available there is also a need for
onsite or near site facilities to
impregnate inversion liners or
facilities to store impregnated
liners whilst the pipelines are
prepared.
This also applies to many
of the sprayed application
techniques that require high
pressure pumps and mixing
systems as well as specially
designed spray heads. Whilst
such liners can provide a long
term solution to the problems
of many pipelines the
circumstances surrounding the
installation can be challenging.
A new resin lining system by
Finland-based Picote could
prove to be the answer to these
issues.
