CIPP Equipment and Materials

Applied Felts EnviroCure

EnviroCure from Applied Felts is a heat-cured, styrene-impermeable, polymer-coated, multilayer all-felt or felt/fiberglass hybrid fabric that vastly reduces if not eliminates styrene emissions and odor on the job site before, during and after installations while also taking away the significant cost and unpredictability of styrene-free resin systems. According to an independent study conducted by IUPUI in October 2021, it reduces on-site styrene emissions to less than 1 part per million. Job sites report no detectable odors in trucks when doors are opened, or in steam flumes or manholes. It provides a safe and less expensive option for all mainline CIPP installations, providing a solution to job site styrene emissions. 276-656-1904; www.appliedfelts.com

Excavation Equipment

Mr. Manhole Cookie Cutter 

Using the Cookie Cutter system from Mr. Manhole, the contractor simply drills a 1.25-inch-diameter hole over the affected utility using the included battery-powered drill. They then cut a 74-inch “cookie” through asphalt or concrete in minutes with the cutter that mounts on a skid loader. The operator is protected from silica via the Mr. Mister included on the cutter. The cookie is lifted directly on a waiting truck via the lifter included in the package. A round personnel protection cage is placed in the excavation and vacuum excavating begins. The protective cage slides into place as the excavation is deepened and holds adjacent fill in place. The utility is exposed and repaired as needed. The system is complete with an engineering specification that includes backfill reinstatement guaranteeing a high quality repair of the road. 833-242-2221; www.mrmanhole.com

Pipeline Rehabilitation/Lining

Aries Industries Test and Seal Grouting System

The Test and Seal Grouting System from Aries Industries reduces setup time and provides efficient hands-on control to quickly seal leaking joints. Grout — pumped to a leaking joint — flows through the leak, sealing the surrounding soil to form an impenetrable barrier. Sixty-gallon tanks and continuous-duty mixers provide high volume to seal large voids. Reels for fast deployment and retrieval, as well as high-power winches, quickly move the packer from joint to joint for high productivity. The unit’s 800 feet of color-coded hose allows for long runs. The truck comes with a bench, storage and room to work. The operator tests and seals the joints while working in the control room, where test data and the sealing process are easily viewed, recorded and logged. 800-234-7205; www.ariesindustries.com

Avanti International AV-100

AV-100 chemical grout from Avanti International is used to rehabilitate storm and sanitary sewer systems by eliminating infiltration in manholes, mainlines, joints, laterals, lateral connections, and before or after various forms of CIPP lining. It is injected after lining in the annular space between host pipe/liner, and after lateral reinstatement, which are the primary sources of infiltration. It is an ultralow viscosity, chemically reactive gel with a similar viscosity to water. It can permeate anywhere water can travel and has adjustable cure times from seconds to hours, creating an effective, long-lasting water barrier while providing soil stabilization. 800-877-2570; www.avantigrout.com

Flow-Liner Systems Neofit+Plus Expandable Pressure Pipe

Neofit+Plus Expandable Pressure Pipe from Flow-Liner Systems is a trenchless technology that creates an impenetrable barrier between drinking water and the existing host pipe. Host pipes (like lead and copper) can leach dangerous levels of toxic materials into drinking water. The Neofit+Plus EPP structural material has been scientifically proven by examining extensive hydrolysis testing, indicating it will last well over 100 years. It often only requires a single small access pit, saving yards, trees, sidewalks and floors from demolition. The speedy process allows for many installations a day and immediate return to service. 800-348-0020; www.flow-liner.com

Picote Solutions Dual-Color Epoxy Brush Coating System

The Dual-Color Epoxy Brush Coating System from Picote Solutions allows technicians to rehabilitate pipes from 1.25 to 12 inches for drains, sewers, water pipes, electrical conduits, and heat and air-conditioning ducts by brush-casting a coating. The coating resin forms a pipe inside the original pipe that is tested, safe and environmentally friendly. The new pipe is damp-proof, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant. It is ASTM- and NSF-certified (NSF/ANSI 61-5). It is a 100% solids epoxy, and the method allows for clear visual verification during the application process. Apply to small areas or all drains in multistory buildings. The system is practical and easily fits in tight places. 219-440-1404; www.picotesolutions.com

Prime Resins PR10

PR10 acrylamide from Prime Resins is a low-viscosity permeation liquid chemical grout that is injected from within the manhole, wicking into the soil outside or used to curtain-grout the exterior. A high-pressure pump injects grout through the manhole wall into the surrounding soil or is injected directly into the surrounding soil, creating an impermeable barrier. The permeation grout doesn’t expand, but rather saturates the soil immediately outside of the manhole (with a desired gel time) that permanently stabilizes the soil and prevents further groundwater penetration. 800-321-7212; www.primeresins.com

Reinstatement Cutters

CUES Currahee Cutters

Small and large Currahee Cutters from CUES are designed to reinstate wastewater service laterals, remove protruding taps, and brush-finish existing cuts. The cutters function in a range of 5.25- through 36-inch pipe, are equally effective in CIPP or fold and form liners, and can be installed on a CUES K2 truck-mounted cutter system. A 1.9 hp air motor for the small cutter line provides more power, increased productivity, and a smoother cut when operating in 6- to 12-inch relined pipe. Kits are available to retro-fit cutters for use with Kangaroo air-motors, and service kits can be purchased for regular maintenance intervals on existing motors. 800-327-7791; www.cuesinc.com

The system is distributed in the U.S. through APEX CIPP Solutions. 941-300-0441; www.apexcipp.com

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. 800-331-6653; www.hammerheadtrenchless.com

Omega Liner

Omega Liner is a high-strength GRP UV-cured liner for trenchless rehabilitation of water, wastewater and stormwater piping systems. It is constructed with ECR (corrosion-resistant) fiberglass and advanced UV resins, and uses unsaturated polyester or vinyl ester resins for environmentally conscious projects. It is offered for both circular and noncircular pipes from 6 to 66 inches, has a six-month shelf life, conforms to ASTM F-2019, and meets and exceeds ASTM F-1216. Factory training and support is available, with a small equipment footprint and increased efficiencies. 605-558-1020; www.omegauvpipe.com

Waterline Renewal Technologies LightRay LR3 LED UV

The LightRay LR3 LED UV system from Waterline Renewal Technologies is an advanced UV cast-in-place pipe technology allowing complete operator control of the casting process. It is both a push- and pull-in-place spot repair system, providing the flexibility to perform both operations by only changing the cold LED repair packer. The non-VOC resin is pre-impregnated into the high-performance fiberglass liner and shipped ready to install for no-dig pipe infrastructure repairs. Once the install site is prepped, casting times in under 10 minutes can be achieved, eliminating the risk of premature or prolonged casting times due to temperature variations. It repairs pipe diameters of 3 to 12 inches, including transitions. 847-457-1810; www.waterlinerenewal.com
