NYSEARCH & Cornell University tested the longevity and extreme capabilities of
cured-in-place lined pipe

NYSEARCH/Northeast Gas Association (NGA) completed a two-year CIPL research and development project in 2015 with support from National Grid, PECO Energy, Public Service Electric and Gas and Con Edison that included funding support from PHMSA. The project was in collaboration with Cornell’s independent pipeline infrastructure experts.

““The body of CIPL installations, research and performance history, when examined and compared to traditional pipeline replacement methods, demonstrate that CIPL can provide substantial pipeline renewal and is a viable option to conventional replacement methods for cast-iron and steel distribution pipelines.””
— David Merte - NYSEARCH/Northeast Gas Association

The 30-inch turnkey project in Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal challenged what we thought was possible. There were several times we wondered, can it be done? There was nothing conventional about this project. The drawings showed a pipe configuration I had never seen.

UV CIPP RENEWS 36-INCH STORM DRAIN AFTER OTHERS FAIL
UV CIPP, Drainage pipe leak, Drain Leak repair

After a previously installed liner failed, UV CIPP proved an ideal solution to rehabilitate a leaking 36-inch storm drain under a heavily trafficked road at a manufacturing facility in New Jersey. Interestingly, the leaking stormwater drainpipe had been lined a few years prior.

Steel gas mains come in a variety of specifics requiring a slightly different approach for reconditioning. A heightened level of awareness needs to be addressed in these three areas before the lining process begins.
