Advances In Pipe Lining

Cementitious Lining Of Small Diameter Storm Drains

 Today, local, state and federal engineers In the highway departments are facing the failure of storm drains installed decades ago. The options for repair traditionally have been expensive and disruptive to traffic. There is a new method and material that has been developed to line these failing drains without disrupting the normal traffic flow. We have successfully and efficiently relined corrugated steel drain pipes to extend their life. By filling in the missing and damaged sections of the invert and lining the pipe with a 1 inch thick high strength shotcrete, soil erosion beneath the culvert and road is prevented and the life expectancy of the pipe and the roadway is extended. This is the fastest most effective, non-disruptive method to repair failing storm drains or to extend the life of newer ones. The pipe is usable 24 hours after lining.

The special proprietary add mixes we use allow this high strength shotcrete to develop a compressive strength of 6000+ psi in 7 days. Being virtually impermeable to water, having high abrasion and acid resistance coupled with the non shrink properties, makes this material ideal for lining pipes that carry large amounts of solids and/or acidic flows. 

Special designed equipment allows this material to be applied in a consistent thickness and in pipes that have many angles both vertical and horizontal.
