Having earned its place as the top Detroit Water Main Installation and Repair Contractor for underground water line breaks, GB Utilities gets the repairs done on time and under budget using a trenchless pipe renewal system, also known as CIPP.
GB Utilities’ unique benefit of employing a trenchless pipe renewal system is both time and cost-effectiveness: no expensive and disruptive excavation is required. Eliminating the need for excavations can lead to cost savings up to 40 to 50 percent.
Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is the most versatile method available for Detroit’s underground water line repair and underground gas line repair: it is the only technology that can span a size range of 4 to 96 inches in diameter; renew pipes with bends, concentric, or eccentric diameter changes, pipes with non-circular shapes (i.e., egg-shaped, and elliptical pipes), and gravity or pressure pipe. CIPP is installed in contiguous segments of up to several thousand feet, which means enhanced pipe.
GB Utilities materials for Detroit’s underground water main repair are currently specified to a minimum 50-year design life, but advances in resin technology and accelerated testing indicate that life expectancy may be much longer than 50 years for underground gas line tap-ins and water line tap-ins. GB Utilities will handle repairs to Detroit’s underground gas pipes, underground water hookup, underground water main, underground water lines, and underground water pipes with ease.
Applications for Trenchless Underground Water Main Repair
* Installation of sewer line replacement – superior to other alternatives, CIPP is preferred for toughness and durability. It provides an unmatched combination of heat, chemical, and abrasion-resistance, making it ideal for lining the resin-filled felt tube used in cured-in-place pipe.
Benefits of CIPP
* Easy on-site underground gas hookup (solvent, tape and heat)
* Sufficient low-temperature flexibility facilitates storage and installation (compared with other materials that are likely to crack)
* High melting point (~145°C/293°F) allows the use of hot water and steam across a wide range of pipe thicknesses
* Low coefficient of friction and flexibility for gas installation that allows for the lining of sharp bends (45-90°), depending on the nature of the rehabilitation project
* Accommodates the use of a winch during underground gas hookup installation
* Versatility to be used in combination with a wide range of thermosetting resin matrix systems
* Proven effectiveness in bonding well to resin-absorbent felt
