Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is a trenchless method of inserting a resin-coated lining that replaces previously existing underground pipelines. The process involves inserting the lining into the old pipeline and inflating it with compressed air. This process can be used to:
- Repair a damaged section of pipe and seal leaks or cracks.
- Replace a pipeline.
- Prevent future damage or address structural issues in a pipeline.
This process is effective in repairing or replacing underground pipelines because it does not require the need to dig up a large surface to access the underground piping. This trenchless method eliminates the need to excavate landscaping, sidewalks, roads, and any other surfaces above pipelines.
CIPP applications require a heavy use of compressed air. Reliable systems such as Vanair’s PTO Shaft Driven Underdeck Systems provide up to 425 CFM and mount beneath your vehicle’s chassis. These systems are effective for trenchless applications, such as CIPP, as a compact and rugged system for the job.
