When looking for a minimally invasive method to fix cracked or damaged pipe, in some situations a type of trenchless pipe replacement called pipe relining is the best process. Lining pipe is a way to rehabilitate aging pipe systems without the need for traditional removal and replacement.
Grant Duxbury, Nu Flow America regional manager, explains the process involves remotely cleaning and then lining the existing pipe from a limited number of access points. “The end result is a new pipe within a pipe, extending the life expectancy of an existing system for many years past its original design life,” he says.
