HOW IT WORKS
Clean and inspect
First, the pipes are cleared, inspected, and cleaned using various different pieces of equipment appropriate for the situation.
A patented liner is inserted
A liner is measured, cut, soaked in epoxy, and inserted into the pipe.
Epoxy liner cures in place
The liner is inflated and cures in place, creating a new pipe that is harder than PVC and has a life expectancy of 50+ years.
History
The secret of success
In the early 1970’s, the first cured-in-place pipe technology (CIPP) was developed in England. In the early years, the CIPP market’s primary focus was on large diameter pipes from 4” to 118” and oriented largely towards the municipal sector.
Fast Forward to the 1990’s
New technology would emerge in the CIPP market. There was a distinct void in the CIPP market, and to fill it NuFlow developed a pull-in-place method that focused on small diameter sewer and drain pipes of 2” to 12” in diameter.
NuFlow has received multiple patents for its pull-in-place structural lining process and methods, and since its inception has licensed the technology to nearly 400 companies internationally with pipe lining installations occurring on 6 continents.
NuFlow’s pull-in-place method has revolutionized the CIPP market by bringing the structural liner inside the building. While other pipe lining techniques are limited to larger pipes that run outside the building, NuFlow has been the leader in “inside infrastructure” rehabilitation.
