Culvert Repair, Rehabilitation Methods & Large Diameter Pipe Rehab

At HK Solutions Group, we can tackle large diameter pipe cleaning, culvert repairs and other specialized pipeline maintenance for large pipes. Some service providers shy away from large diameter pipes due to the high volume of water and high risk, and some don't have the equipment to handle the high flow associated with culvert pipe rehabilitation.

Our commitment to safety, our expert technicians and our specialized equipment set us apart from other culvert repair and culvert cleaning contractors. We can handle any job, no matter how big or small. Call us today at (855) 845-5326 to learn how we can customize our solutions to fit your needs.

Solutions for Large Diameter Pipe & Culvert Repair

The bigger the pipe, the bigger the issues and risks involved for unprepared contractors. HK Solutions Group technicians are experts when it comes to culvert rehabilitation methods. We understand how to approach high volume pipelines safely, and we get the job done correctly without cutting corners.

Because large diameter pipes present unique challenges, they're often the most neglected part of the storm sewer system. We encounter a lot of aging culverts and large diameter infrastructure, and we use a combination of traditional culvert rehabilitation methods and modern tactics, such as UV-cured culvert lining, in order to provide a unique, tailored approach for each project.

Culvert Cleaning Services

In order to tackle big jobs, culvert cleaning contractors need expert technicians and equipment specifically designed for large diameter pipe and culvert cleaning services. HK Solutions Group has both. Our pipe rehabilitation experts are trained to execute pipe cleaning and rehab solutions for all pipe sizes and all field conditions.

We have multiple Recycle JetVac trucks in our fleet. These trucks enable our team to use recycled water from the collection system to clean culverts and pipes. This recycled water culvert cleaning process is just one example of our commitment to environmentally-friendly solutions. This technique also represents massive cost savings for cities. HK Solutions Group saved one Midwest municipality millions of gallons of water by using this cleaning technique.

During the large diameter pipe cleaning process, we thoroughly prepare pipelines and culverts for future rehabilitation projects. Before we begin culvert pipe rehabilitation, we address issues such as root invasion and groundwater infiltration, along with collapsed pipes and offset connections.

Fold and Form Culvert Lining for Repair & Rehabilitation

HK Solutions Group uses a PVC Thermoform lining process when performing culvert rehabilitation and repair. PVC or polyethylene (PE) thermoplastic liners are installed using a heating and cooling process. Our thermoform culvert liners can be heated and cooled up to seven times without losing structural integrity. This allows technicians the freedom to make adjustments without risk to the liner. This culvert rehabilitation method is also another example of how HK can provide pipeline maintenance to the full sanitary sewer and storm water system.

The PVC thermoform large diameter pipe liner installation process begins when a custom-manufactured PVC pipe liner is heated, folded and coiled onto reels. Once it arrives at a jobsite, technicians re-heat the liner and feed it into the damaged pipe structure, where steam is then used to expand the folded liner. The expanded liner conforms to the pipe's shape and dimensions, and then it cools and hardens in place.

Installing a culvert lining with the PVC thermoform method is a cost-effective culvert rehabilitation method that eliminates the need for disruptive excavation.

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.

Stormwater Management Solutions

HK Solutions Group handles stormwater and wastewater management and rehabilitation. We can correct issues with any size pipeline or culvert, from small sewage pipes to large interceptor lines. Our large diameter pipe repair techniques are safe and effective, and we favor minimally invasive pipe restoration and trenchless manhole rehabilitation that limits community disruption.

We also strive to minimize our environmental impact by using stormwater management and repair solutions that are eco-friendly. Unlike some culvert rehabilitation methods that spew carcinogens into the air and produce toxic run-off, HK's thermoform culvert lining has a very small environmental impact and does not introduce pollutants into the surrounding area. This keeps communities safe and protects the natural landscape.

UV-Cured Pipe Liners Learn More

UV-Cured Pipe Liners

With the acquisition of Engineered Lining Systems, HK's newest large diameter pipe solution is UV-cured pipe lining. HK Solutions Group now uses the UV-cured pipe lining process as a fast and cost-effective pipeline rehabilitation method. Like traditional Cured in Place Pipe, UV-cured pipe lining is a trenchless pipeline rehab solution which limits disruptions to traffic and utilities.

Benefits of UV-Cured Pipe Liners

In comparison to other trenchless technologies, UV-cured pipe liners have proven to be cutting-edge technology. This modern pipe lining technology cures with fiberglass instead of felt and with zero water. The result is a more structural and long lasting solution compared to traditional methods such as heat curing.

Other advantages over more traditional pipeline rehabilitation techniques, include:

Fully structural rehabilitation within the existing pipeline
Design life of up to 70 years
Available for rehabilitation of pipes ranging from two up to 72 Inches in diameter
Curing in 10 minutes
Styrene-free

The UV Pipe Lining Process

The UV pipe lining process begins by placing a pipe liner layered with resin inside the failing pipe to rehabilitate from within the existing structure. Once the liner has been carefully measured and installed to reach all transition spots within the pipeline, it is inflated with air. Before curing, the crew completes a CCTV inspection of the pipeline to ensure there are no wrinkles or folds within the liner. Then, a UV light train is sent in to cure the pipe.

The UV-cured pipe lining system cures in only 10 minutes, making it the most efficient pipe lining option available. Because UV-cured liners do not use any steam or water, it does not require any heavy equipment and the process limits any risk of contaminated water discharge. Our clients also value the environment-friendly benefits of being a styrene-free and low carbon footprint solution.

This UV-cured lining method can be used for a wide variety of pipe widths, from 3 inches in diameter up to 86 inches in diameter, making this an ideal solution for large diameter pipeline rehabilitation applications. The more complex the conditions, the more evident the benefits of this liner.
