PIPE RELINING
Pipe Lining uses trenchless technology and requires little or no earthworks to deliver a fast and permanent solution for repairing blocked and damaged pipes. Traditionally pipes have been dug up and replaced; now Pipe Hunter offers a cleaner, cost-effective alternative without the disruption of excavation.
HOW DOES PIPE LINING WORK?
Our pipe lining technology is so flexible that it can be used to reline continuous lengths of pipe or provide short patches, reline multiple bends, boundary traps or create one-piece junction repairs. Suitable for stormwater or sewerage pipes, Pipe Hunter’s system can be applied to pipe diameters ranging from 50mm up to 225mm.
- CCTV is used to inspect and survey damaged pipes from existing access points
- Pipes are then cleaned using high pressure water jets and prepared for relining
- A liner is impregnated with epoxy resin and a deflated bladder is inserted into the liner
- The liner is then inserted into the damaged pipe
- Once in position, the bladder inflates and expands the liner to form the shape of the existing pipe
- This creates a new pipe within the damaged pipe
- The resin cures to form a permanent replacement pipe
- The bladder is then removed to allow for immediate use of the pipe
- The epoxy resin used in Pipe Hunter’s system is chemically engineered specifically for pipe lining. It has the structural properties of a PVC pipe, offering the same hardness and flexibility as PVC.
IT'S THE FAST ALTERNATIVE
The use of trenchless technology means little or no excavation work is required. This results in minimal disruption to the surrounding area and faster job completion. Pipe Hunter uses superior quality Watermark approved resins, engineered to ensure fast curing times and pipes that are ready for immediate use.
IT'S THE FLEXIBLE OPTION
Our pipe lining materials are structurally sound so they can span a range of pipe diameters, seamlessly line multiple bends and patch missing sections of pipe, all with the structural integrity of a permanent new pipe.
IT'S A SAFER CHOICE
By eliminating the need for destructive excavation, we are also eliminating the serious OH&S risks involved with operating heavy machinery and the risk of injury or death associated with deep excavation.
HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
IT'S THE COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION
Excavating the area and replacing pipes is time-consuming and expensive; using trenchless technology removes the need to dig and lowers labour costs. Pipe Hunter’s system means the job is completed quickly, cleanly and cost-effectively.
Our high-performance materials create a perfectly stable laminate layer within damaged pipes. This layer has the structural integrity of a new pipe; it can stand alone, even spanning voids in damaged pipes to create a new pipe within the old one. The result is a permanent repair to the damaged pipe, completed without excavating the surrounding area.
