CIPP lining solutions for large pipe relining projects

Repair and rehabilitation of large pipes or sewers cause complex and expensive issues for industry, commercial business and council. Digging up busy areas to replace pipes can be a costly endeavour. The last few years have seen the emergence of new CIPP relining technology which provides cost-effective, time-saving solutions to these issues.

Alphaliner GFRP UV CIPP Lining System

Aphaliner GFRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic) UV-cured pipe liner has been used to complete large, difficult projects of all kinds across the world. In 2011, the Alphaliner CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) system was used by the French city of Lille to reline a four-kilometre section of ageing sewer drain which ran along a nature reserve to a water treatment plant. The timing of the project was limited to a couple of months in the summer, so the lining needed to be fast to install and quick to cure. A pipe lining product which could cater to diameters of up to 1200 mm was also needed. The trenchless project was completed successfully using Alphaliner in the time frame with liner curing taking place at speeds of up to 40 cm per minute.

Tough pipe lining

The Alphaliner system is unique in that it contains a strong layer of wear-resistant, chemical-resistant resin (either polyester resin for council waste or vinyl ester resin for industrial waste) ideal for pipes which carry wastewater from the council and industrial areas. Aggressive sewage containing heat, acid and alkaline substances will safely pass through the relined drains. The seamless construction guarantees maximum stability and even expansion within the pipe.
