Benefits
The benefits of pipeline rehabilitation are many, but some of the key advantages are as follows: CIPP/GRP does not require excavation to rehabilitate a pipeline that is either leaking or structurally unsound. The liner is installed through a manhole or other existing access point. This offers a huge cost saving especially in city areas with heavy traffic and congested areas. In the case of sewer lines, lateral connections are also restored without excavation via a remote-controlled robot that drills a hole in the liner at the point of the lateral connection. CIPP/GRP has a smooth interior and no joints and is stronger than the original pipe, adding up to 70 years of additional service for existing lines. CIPP/GRP can effectively reduce infiltration and leaks in pipeline systems without digging.
