Company Overview

The trenchless UV (Ultraviolet) method is a non-invasive approach for repairing sewer lines without the need for excavation.

During this method, a specially designed liner is inserted into the affected pipe through an existing access point, like a manhole. After the liner is set, ultraviolet lamps are set along the entire liner. The ultraviolet lamps produce high-intensity ultraviolet radiation that reacts with a specific catalyst in the resin.

When the UV lamps are turned on, the resin begins to set quickly within minutes, establishing a new lining inside the damaged pipe. The resin attaches firmly to the interior of the old pipe, leading to a solid, uninterrupted, and reliable lining.

There are many benefits to UV curing for trenchless repairs:

1. Quick and efficient: The curing process is swift, requiring minimal time, depending on the pipe's length and conditions. This allows for fast repairs and minimal disruption to the nearby environment.

2. Strong and enduring solution: The cured resin creates a robust lining that can increase the longevity of the pipe by many years. The lining is resistant to damage from corrosion, cracks, root growth, and chemicals.

3. Minimal excavation required: Since the UV method is trenchless, it demands minimal digging, reducing the disruption caused by digging.
