Slip-Lining
Location – Western PA
PROBLEM
A local water company had experienced numerous breaks/leakage in a reinforced concrete water line.
SOLUTION
HDPE pipe’s coefficient of friction and compensated flow allowed for the downsizing necessary to “slip-line” with a smaller diameter pipe.
- One continuous 2000 FT + length of HDPE pipe
- on-site “butt-fused” joints
- lexibility of HDPE pipe
IMPACT TO CUSTOMER
- Pulled into the host pipe – even through the sweeps of the original installation
- No infiltration/exfiltration in the system
