Insituform® CIPP (Cured-in-Place Pipe) for Sanitary and Storm Sewer Repair

A pioneer in cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology, Insituform® has installed over 15,000 miles of CIPP worldwide. The Insituform® CIPP process is suited for sewer repair and can be used to rehabilitate sanitary sewers, storm sewers and force mains. Insituform® CIPP is a jointless pipe-within-a-pipe with the capability to rehabilitate pipes ranging in diameter from 6 to 96 inches and to negotiate bends. Insituform® CIPP addresses your top concerns:

• Infiltration reduction
Water entering your sewer system through holes, breaks and joint failures can significantly tax your treatment facilities, especially during storm events. Insituform® CIPP can significantly reduce this infiltration and eliminate leakage from your system. In dry climates, tree and plant roots find the sewer system an attractive source of water and nutrients. Entering through pipe defects, roots create blockages and overflows. Insituform® Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) contains your flow within the pipe while keeping external water and roots out. We can help you avoid the large capital cost of expanding treatment facilities and the environmental problems caused by sewer overflows.

• Structural integrity
Insituform CIPP restores structural integrity to your damaged sewer pipes. The design models used, independent test results and 35 years of service all confirm that Insituform® CIPP is a structural product with a 100-year design life.

• Increased flow capacity
Insituform® CIPP provides the least cross-sectional reduction of all methods used to rehabilitate pipes. Despite the cross-sectional reduction, the smooth, jointless interior of our product typically improves flow capacity. There are no joints that can separate over time. The smooth interior also provides excellent abrasion resistance.

• Affordability
The CIPP process from Insituform® is usually less expensive than conventional methods of sewer repair, even for everyday problems. When you consider the lost business revenues, traffic congestion and social costs associated with other methods, your savings are immeasurable with CIPP.

• Installation® flexibility
Insituform® offers flexibility in both the method of installation and the cure process. Insituform® CIPP can be inverted with either air or water, or pulled into place. The cure can be done with steam or hot water. All processes are consistent with nationally recognized standards and Insituform®’s own ISO-certified quality control program. Since each job is unique, we can apply the most cost effective, technically optimal solution to solve your pipeline rehabilitation problem.
