Innovations in the trenchless pipe rehab sector now allow for the repair of pipes with minimal surface disruption, offering solutions that can be implemented swiftly and with significant cost savings. From structural point repair solutions that extend the life of existing pipelines to advanced LED CIPP lining systems that cure in a fraction of the time taken by traditional methods, advancements like those below signify a leap towards safer, faster and more environmentally friendly pipe rehabilitation.

CUES LOCK
CUES LOCK is a no-dig structural point repair solution. Crossbore strikes, cracks, and separated joints, just to name a few, can be repaired in as little as 30 minutes, with no digging. The gear required to install is very minimal, and on average, will pay for itself in the first one to three repairs. This saves significant time and money versus dig and replace or traditional lining, as well as improving safety for install crews by limiting exposure. The sleeve is constructed with a 316 stainless steel core, rated to 100-year service life. It is available for pipe from 6 to more than 108 inches in diameter and in 12- to 36-inch lengths. Sleeves can be installed in series to repair longer defects. It can be used with an existing CCTV system.

HammerHead Trenchless Bluelight LED
The redesigned Bluelight LED CIPP lining system for laterals and small drainpipes from HammerHead Trenchless uses a specially formulated resin that only cures under light in the blue wavelength, giving installers a significantly longer working time between liner wet-out and curing. Once installed, the automated curing system pulls the LED light head through the liner, curing the resin almost instantly — up to five times faster than other methods. Instead of waiting hours for the liner to cure, a 50-foot sewer line could be fully cured in under 10 minutes.

Pipeline Renewal Technologies SpeedyLight+
SpeedyLight+ from Pipeline Renewal Technologies is LED-based UV light-curing technology for trenchless pipe rehab that requires less time and energy and is less disruptive to communities and businesses. Closures are minimal and work is able to be completed without having to relocate occupants. LED UV cure eliminates safety risks such as the wrong mixing of resins or dealing with boiler systems. There are no working time considerations, as you turn the light on and off any time you want to stop or start the cure. Interchangeable camera heads show operators what’s happening underground, giving them the ability to control the speed and accuracy of the cure. It cures felt or GFRP liner and can cure 90-degree bends in lines down to 2 inches, as well as transitions and verticals.

Warrior Trenchless Solutions Thermoform Thermoform from Warrior Trenchless Solutions is a PVC-alloy structural pipe lining system designed for the trenchless rehabilitation of failing sewer and culvert pipes. It is an environmentally friendly, styrene-free thermoplastic. There are no harmful emissions, and it does not rely on any chemical reaction during installation. Factory-controlled production with rigorous material testing ensures a consistent quality product that conforms to and exceeds the expected standards. The material is highly flexible, allowing it to expand and fit tightly to the host pipe, including changes in shape and dimensions. It is produced in sizes ranging from 4 to 36 inches in diameter, and the wall thickness can be varied according to the application. All installers must be accredited and audited to ensure the highest quality work possible.
