Company Overview

The UV (Ultraviolet) technique for trenchless repairs is an innovative solution for fixing underground pipes without the hassle of excavation.

During this method, a flexible liner is inserted into the affected pipe through an existing access point, for example, a cleanout. Once the liner is positioned, UV lights are set along the entire liner. The ultraviolet lamps produce high-intensity ultraviolet radiation that reacts with a specialized catalyst in the resin.

Once the UV lights are switched on, the resin begins to set quickly within a few moments, creating a new pipe within the old one. The resin adheres swiftly to the walls of the existing pipe, leading to a seamless, jointless, and structurally sound lining.

UV curing offers numerous benefits for trenchless repairs:

1. Fast and effective: 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 area around the repair site.

2. Resilient and lasting solution: The cured resin creates a robust lining that can prolong the life of the pipe by many years. It resists issues like corrosion, cracking, root invasion, and chemical damage.

3. Little to no digging needed: Since the UV method is trenchless, it needs very little excavation, minimizing the disturbance from excavation.
