Our Process

  • The image depicts a close-up view of coffee beans in a slight motion blur, packed tightly together.

    Pipe System Assessment

    Corroded pipes are identified and a plan is developed to rehabilitate them with minimal access points and disruption.

  • A robotic device with six wheels and a long spear-like extension.

    Pre-Cleaning Camera Inspection

    A recorded video of the interior of the pipe helps the team assess existing conditions and verify the plan.

  • Horizontal image showing a cross-section of soil with roots and clay layers, overlaid with satellite data and scientific measurements.

    Drag Scraping

    For most pipe materials, a drag scraper is run in both directions to remove corrosion from a tuberculated pipe, restoring the original pipe diameter.

  • Cross-section of a pipeline showing water spraying from a nozzle into the pipe.

    High Pressure Water Jetting

    Depending on the age, material and condition of the pipe, it is water jetted at varying pressures to clear away any remaining scaling and dirt left on pipe walls.

  • A robotic device with four large wheels, a camera or sensor on the front, and a long thin arm extending from the back, set against a gray background.

    Post-Cleaning Camera Inspection

    A recorded video verifies the pipe is sufficiently cleaned and the surface is prepared.  If defects in the system are apparent, they can be patched in preparation for the lining process.

  • A close-up illustration of a rocket engine nozzle with a red and silver exhaust plume.

    Spin Casting Epoxy & Final Inspection

    Our state of the art robotic technology spin casts the epoxy directly onto the pipe walls. At all times we are monitoring the mix ratio and temperature of the epoxy and the speed at which the spray head is travelling through the pipe, which is how the desired thickness is achieved.  A final camera inspection verifies the results.

  • The inside of a rusty, corroded pipe or tunnel with a dark, circular opening at the end.

    Before

  • A close-up view of the inside of a cylindrical pipe or tunnel, showing its textured interior surface and a small stream of liquid flowing towards the center, creating a dark point at the far end.

    Cleaned

  • Close-up of a beige pipe or tube with a small vent or screw at the top edge, viewed from the end.
