The Difference Between Epoxy Pipelining and Structural Pipelining

Pipelining is one of our most innovative services because it eliminates the need to excavate when making pipe repairs. Usually, only 2 access points need to be created to access the damaged pipes underground. This enables us to solve most drain line issues without tearing up your landscaping or replacing entire pipes. It’s a win win for everyone because it saves valuable time and money. Today we’re looking at two pipelining solutions offered by Perma-Liner^TM, so read on to learn more.

Epoxy Pipelining
For drain lines without damage, epoxy is a great material for preventing corrosion and leaks. With this eco-friendly method, epoxy is used to coat the inside walls of pipes. This relining is safe, durable and preserves the life of the existing piping.

Structural Pipelining
With Perma-Liner’s Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) system, a new pipe is essentially created inside the old one. A resin tube is inserted into the damaged pipe and positioned using water or air pressure. It is then cured to form a corrosion-resistant, water-tight seal. This method works best in pipes with a diameter of at least 2 inches, which would be able to accommodate the new pipe.

Can You Benefit From Pipelining?
We are always looking for ways to improve wastewater repair methods, and this one is a true home run. Wind River is proud to be one of the few companies in the New England area to offer these groundbreaking (or should we say non-groundbreaking) pipelining services. Before paying excavators to do any digging or purchasing expensive drain replacements, let our technicians determine whether you are a candidate for one of these trenchless solutions.
