NON-INVASIVE facility PIPEline inspection & RENEWAL

Progressive Pipeline Management leads the field of in-building pipe rehabilitation supporting healthcare, higher education, commercial and residential multi-story buildings, and industrial manufacturing. Trenchless pipeline inspection and renewal services require minimal demolition, excavation, and disruption. The highly effective non-destructive methods cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) and brush-in-place-pipe (BIPP) create a pipe inside a pipe that restores the pipe structure’s integrity and extends its useful life.

PPM’s expertise includes in-building piping systems (roof drains & vents, fire suppression, waste water) and underground utilities (natural gas, oil, petrochem, storm water, sewer force mains.) Our services include inspections, condition assessments, cleaning, procurement and implementation. 

In-building pipe rehabilitation is proven to reduce costs by as much as 60-70% compared to traditional methods of “remove and replace.”

CIPP & BIPP are proven to extend the useful service life of the pipe for decades.

BRUSH-IN-PLACE PIPE (BIPP) RENEWAL

The BIPP process is effective for renewing leaking vertical lines, including smaller diameter (1.25 to 8 inch) drain and branch lines. It requires specialty equipment to apply a 100 % solid epoxy onto the interior walls of the pipe, creating a protective barrier. The epoxies are both corrosion and abrasion resistant. The epoxy coating effectively extends the lifespan of the pipe.

• Bonds to many substrates

• Utilizes various types of resins

• Protects against corrosive chemicals

• Can be applied in potable water piping using NSF-61 certified, 100 percent solids epoxy.

CURED-IN-PLACE PIPE (CIPP) RENEWAL

The CIPP lining process consists of a liner pre-impregnated with epoxy resin that is inverted into the host pipe. The liner and resin harden, creating a structural, long-term ‘pipe within a pipe’ rehabilitation. Once the liner is cured, any branch line connections are reinstated using a lateral reinstatement robotic tool that cuts through the liner and seals the connection.

• In most cases, CIPP is installed without disrupting service to surrounding customers or businesses

• Seals cracks and large voids

• CIPP has a 50 year design life

• Stops root and water infiltration

• In most cases, only one access point is required

• The liner is cured with ambient or ultraviolet (UV) light
