Commercial pipe rehabilitation is no easy undertaking. Contractors want to do things right. As such, deciding on the right solution is key. This is where we come in. IPP Solutions manufactures products for trenchless, noninvasive pipe repairs using the SIPP and CIPP methods. We’re here to explain everything plumbers specializing in internal pipe coating systems need to know about CIPP.
What Is Sprayed-in-Place Pipelining? SIPP repairs aging pipelines with limited excavation required. The process is simple: A spray head is inserted into the pipe then, as the hose retracts, the spray head releases a layer of epoxy or polyuria onto the interior pipe walls. SIPP solutions help to:
Lessen pipe degradation
Seal pinhole leaks
Prevent future leaks
Sprayed-in-place pipe repairs feature a number of benefits for commercial and industrial plumbers. They are faster and more affordable than traditional pipeline replacements, and SIPP is completely trenchless. In addition, this method is typically warrantied, reduces the need for pipe maintenance, and increases the life of the structure’s existing pipes. It’s worth noting, though, that the spray coating is relatively thin. Some pipes may still need to be replaced down the road. But with a meticulous installation process and the right products, SIPP pipelining can be an extremely effective rehabilitation method. What Is Cured-in-Place Pipelining? CIPP generally features a pipe coating or felt liner, installed into the existing pipe and left to cure for a designated time. After the curing process, the liner will attach to the inner walls of the pipe and act as a brand-new pipeline. The curing is then completed using water, steam, and ultraviolet (UV) light. Each liner is manufactured to the owner’s exact specifications in diameters from 6 to 100 inches depending on the project. CIPP solutions also help to:
Reduce pipe degradation
Address pinhole leaks
Eliminate future leaks
What’s the difference between CIPP and SIPP? Where sprayed-in-place pipelining uses spray heads inserted into the plumbing pipe, cured-in-place pipelining typically sends the epoxy into the pipe by way of a liner before inflating it. That said, both methods can seal leaks and restore pipe function. CIPP pipelining too offers a number of benefits for commercial plumbers. It’s more cost-effective and less time-consuming than traditional pipe replacement, and it requires only the minimal removal of drywall and other finishes. CIPP is typically warrantied as well. Plus, as trenchless technology, no excavation is needed to rehabilitate the structure. With the proper installation technique, CIPP is a win-win when it comes to extending the life of your commercial, municipal, or industrial plumbing pipes.
