Company Overview

The trenchless UV (Ultraviolet) method is a modern technique for fixing underground pipes without the need for excavation.

In this process, a resin-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe through a pre-existing entry, such as a cleanout. When the liner is in place, UV lights are set along the full length of the liner. The ultraviolet lamps generate powerful UV light that reacts with a unique catalyst in the resin.

As the UV lights activate, the resin hardens rapidly within a short time, establishing a new lining inside the damaged pipe. The resin bonds quickly to the sides of the damaged pipe, resulting in a strong, continuous, and durable lining.

There are many benefits to UV curing for trenchless repairs:

1. Speedy and efficient: The UV curing process is rapid, requiring minimal time, depending on the pipe's length and conditions. This allows for fast repairs and little disturbance to the nearby environment.

2. Resilient and lasting solution: The set resin results in a durable lining that can prolong the life of the pipe by several decades. It resists corrosion, cracks, root intrusions, and chemical deterioration.

3. Little to no digging needed: As this technique is trenchless, it needs very little excavation, minimizing the disturbance from excavation.
