Performance Pipelining, Inc. can efficiently repair a section of damaged pipe with no excavation, at a price that is affordable, and that will last up to 100 years. Traditional Excavation is not very cost effective; it is disruptive for homeowners, businesses and local traffic. The environmental issues need to be looked at as well. Excavation is very messy above ground and also requires removing from the ground any excavated soil and/or pipe sections that have been contaminated with raw sewage. The spoils then need to be removed and dumped. In addition to this, the excavated hole then needs to be backfilled and restored. Final restoration must be delayed to compensate for any settling that may occur.
The packer method uses a flat sheet and is impregnated by rubbing the epoxy on the liner. Consider carefully that the resin being cured is the key ingredient. There are many types of textile tubes available such as felt, fiberglass and carbon fibers but none can argue the structural properties of the textile fibers without the resin or epoxy. Curing procedures are typically at ambient temperatures where cure times can be completely controlled using a polyester or vinylester resin. The use of epoxy is not recommended due to time versus temperature in controlling the cure. Epoxy resins will either cure very fast not allowing ample insertion time, or they will require as long as 12 hours to cure. Temperatures less than forty-degrees typically result in the liner not curing at all. The inversion process allows repair lengths of one hundred feet or more while the packer method is limited by the length of the plug which is generally about eight-feet in length. The inversion process contains the liner throughout the process protecting it from resin loss and contamination. The packer method completely exposes the liner resulting in resin loss and contamination. Once cured, the bladder is re-inverted breaking the frangible attachment while performing a mechanical lock test. The bladder and launching device is then removed from the pipe, leaving a new, smooth, structural water-tight pipe within a pipe. The packer method is simply deflated and pulled out. The bottom of the liner is typically soft due to resin loss that occurs from dragging the packer/liner through the pipe during the installation process.
