Pipeline Rehabilitation: Trenchless Sewer Repair & Pipe Lining

CME Pipe Lining is a leading provider of trenchless pipeline repair services for industrial and municipal facilities. Traditional industrial sewer repair methods typically require excavation involving large construction crews and equipment interrupting your daily workflow. CME can provide convenient no-dig solutions to save time and money on sewer pipe repairs with little to no downtime or utility disruptions.

To get started with trenchless sewer repair, we recommend beginning with a pipeline inspection which allows our team to insert state-of-the-art cameras into your pipes to identify any issues. Once we know the problem, we can lay out options for trenchless pipe rehabilitation.

Our Pipeline Rehabilitation Solutions for Storm and Sanitary Sewers

For our municipal, industrial and food processing plant customers, corrosion and general wear and tear from chemical wastewater are common problems plaguing sanitary sewer and storm sewer pipes. Timely pipeline repairs are essential to keep facilities running smoothly. CME's impressive selection of pipe rehabilitation methods includes Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP), pipe point repairs and UV cured pipe liners, all of which require minimal interruption to your daily operations.

Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) Liners Learn More

Cured In Place Pipe & Epoxy Trenchless Pipe Linings

Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) is a seamless sewer pipe repair process involving complete structural rehabilitation through pipe relining instead of a pricier total pipe replacement. Pipes with cracks, holes or root intrusion are good candidates for CIPP lining, which is done with an epoxy pipe lining solution that restores the pipeline from within without having to dig or disrupt the sewer system.

To start, our team inspects the damaged pipeline through televised video and takes measurements to design a CIPP liner matching the specifications of the existing pipeline. We then thoroughly clean and remove debris, corrosion, hard deposits and soil from the pipe to create a clear surface for the epoxy to bond to.

Next, we place a high-quality felt liner impregnated with a catalyzed resin in the pipe, using steam or hot water as the curing agent to harden and form a new pipe inside the existing one in less than an hour. Finally, we conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure the liner successfully formed within the pipe. The repair is structural, so it has a 50+ year lifespan equivalent to a full replacement but doesn't disrupt your workflow and utilities or cost you a fortune.

CIPP may be used in municipal drainage, factory pipe systems, septic systems, sewer systems, waste lines, pump and sprinkler systems and irrigation systems. The liner and epoxy resin can rehabilitate portable water lines and pressurized systems such as pools, fountains and fire suppression units.

CME's highly trained technicians specialize in efficiency, providing quick turnaround times for trenchless pipe lining and sewer repair services for municipalities, industrial and railroad facilities and food processing and production facilities.

Pipe Point Repairs Learn More

Trenchless Pipe Patches & Short Liner Repairs

End-to-end pipe lining is not necessary if only a small portion of the pipe needs repaired. Pipe point repairs, also referred to as short liner repairs, target a specific segment of the pipe for a fast, effective trenchless sewer repair solution with no digging required. Our team utilizes CCTV pipeline inspection technology to identify impacted areas needing point repair within the sewer line.

This trenchless pipe patching technique has many applications, including:

Offset or cracking joints
Pipe separations
Contained pipe deterioration
Bridge transitions
Root intrusion
Block unwanted pipe laterals

Once we know the problem areas, we perform sewer spot repairs to rehabilitate the pipeline to its full functionality. Pipe point repairs reduce inflow and infiltration issues for sanitary sewers and storm sewers and provide numerous other benefits to your facility:

Our solution uses trenchless technology, so we are in and out of your facility in hours with little to no interruption to your operations.
Because we work so quickly and keep everything intact, your repair costs are dramatically reduced and no restoration fees are necessary.
Installation does not impact your sewer's functionality, so you can keep up with business as usual while we perform necessary pipe point repairs in the background.

Slip Lining Learn More

Slip Lining

Slip lining for pipeline rehabilitation, like the other trenchless rehabilitation processes, repairs leaks and restores structural stability to the existing pipeline. The slip lining process begins with inserting a carrier pipe into the larger host pipe. It is then grouted into the space between the two pipes, and both ends are sealed. The most common materials used are high-density polyethylene (HDPE), fiberglass reinforced pipe (FRP), & PVC.

UV-Cured Pipe Lining Learn More

UV Cured Pipe Liners

Quick and cutting-edge, the UV pipe lining process is our fastest trenchless sewer repair solution, strengthening the pipe from within in only 10 minutes. Similar to Cured In Place Pipe liners, UV cured pipe liners rely on resin to harden within the existing pipeline, except fiberglass is used instead of felt.

Once the liner is installed in the existing pipe, we complete a CCTV inspection of the pipeline to ensure the liner is smoothly applied to the surface area. We then use a UV light to cure the pipe in a matter of minutes. Along with an impressive turnaround time, UV sewer lining offers a multitude of other benefits:

Fully structural solution within existing pipeline
Lifespan up to 70 years
Available for rehabilitation of pipes from three to 86 inches in diameter
No steam, water or heavy equipment required, limiting risk of contaminated water discharge
Styrene-free and low carbon footprint to protect the environment
Limited disruption to workflow and utilities
Cost-effective with no digging needed to get the job done

CME's innovative UV sewer lining service is your modern solution to enforce the integrity of your pipes for years to come.
