Company Overview

The UV (Ultraviolet) technique for trenchless repairs is an innovative solution for addressing subsurface plumbing issues without the hassle of excavation.

With this technique, a flexible liner is introduced into the affected pipe through an existing access point, like a manhole. When the liner is in place, ultraviolet lamps are arranged along the full length of the liner. These UV lights produce powerful UV light that reacts with a specific catalyst in the resin.

As the UV lights activate, the resin cures quickly within a short time, establishing a new lining inside the damaged pipe. The resin attaches firmly to the walls of the existing pipe, resulting in a solid, uninterrupted, and reliable lining.

There are many benefits to UV curing for trenchless repairs:

1. Quick and efficient: The UV method is quick, lasting only a brief period, according to the length and condition of the pipe. This enables quick fixes and little disturbance to surrounding areas.

2. Strong and enduring solution: The hardened resin forms a strong lining that can increase the longevity of the pipe by many years. It resists damage from corrosion, cracks, root growth, and chemicals.

3. Minimal excavation required: Because this method is trenchless, it needs very little excavation, reducing the disruption caused by digging.
