UV Cured Pipe Relining: Efficient and Non-Invasive Pipe Restoration
UV light-cured relining is a type of trenchless pipe repair method that involves curing a liner with ultraviolet (UV) light. Like CIPP, it is a minimally invasive method of rehabilitating pipelines without requiring extensive excavation.
With UV light-cured relining, a liner made of materials such as fiberglass or polyester is inserted into the damaged pipeline. Once the liner is in place, UV light is used to cure the liner and bond it to the interior of the existing pipe. This process creates a new, seamless pipeline inside the existing one.
UV light-cured relining has several advantages over other pipe rehabilitation methods. It is fast and efficient, with curing times as short as 1 metre per 2 minutes. The liner material is also resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and other types of damage, which can prolong the life of the pipeline.
UV Cured Relining is Ideal For:
This system is ideal for any shape pipe, horizontal or vertical including Box Culverts, Circular and Oviform sewers and stormwater drains under transport infrastructure. As well as Sewer manholes and Pump Station chambers, sites with short working windows such as airports and shopping centres.
TECHNOLOGY
UV-cured CIPP liners are different to other CIPP lining systems as they are impregnated with a resin that only sets under ultraviolet light. Where our hot water cured CIPP liners are prepared in our lining factory in Marleston SA, UV-cured liners are prepared by the manufacturer to required engineering standards and delivered to us with the resign impregnated in the liner. UV cured liners have a long shelf-life, provided that are not exposed to UV light.
THE BENEFITS
Most of all, UV-cured CIPP lining is fast – Curing times can be as little as 1 metre every 2 minutes.
UV-cured CIPP lining offers high-strength reinforcement, without reducing the diameter of the host pipe. It maintains a high flow capacity – in fact, super smooth liners can increase flow capacity, particularly in concrete and/ or deformed pipes.
