A New Age Of Pipe Repair

Before CIPP, replacing or repairing pipes was a long, expensive, and disruptive job. But today, things have improved a lot! The result is not only stronger and more durable but also better for the environment. Perma-liner™ Industries offers a reliable solution, and we're excited to bring you the best products and services in the field. Since 1999, we've provided a unique method that almost completely avoids digging up and replacing pipes. Our patented CIPP Lining System is a true all-in-one solution.

Here's how it works: The CIPP, or Cured-in-Place Pipelining System, happens inside your existing pipe—a pipe within a pipe. Using high-definition, closed-circuit cameras, we inspect the pipe to find any damage and decide the best way to fix it. We measure the old pipe carefully so we can cut a liner that fits perfectly. This liner is soaked in a special resin that will harden and create a new pipe inside the old one. Using air pressure, the liner is pushed inside the pipe. Then, with the help of specialized tools, the curing process begins, taking just a few hours instead of days. Finally, we use the camera one more time to check that everything meets our quality standards. And that's it! One job, done right the first time.

Perma-Lateral Systems

The Perma-Lateral™ small diameter inversion system is the best-selling system in North America designed to rehabilitate pipes ranging in diameter from 2 inch to 8 inch. Perma-Lateral™ liners can be installed through clean-outs or open cut pipes, with only a single access point required and can rehabilitate up to 150 feet in a single installation. The liner itself can be cured ambiently in 3 hours or heat cured in as little as 20 minutes! The Perma-Lateral™ ambient cure resin can be custom formulated to meet any installer's needs and for all working temperatures for a 3 hour cure time. Heat, through the use of Perma-Liner's Stinger steam unit, can also be added ensuring a speedy cure.

Perma-Lateral Tear Away

As the name… Cured-In-Place-Pipe implies, this is a process that takes place within the actual pipes themselves, and in the vast majority of cases, requires little or no extensive and costly excavation.

Here's how the CIPP (Cured-In-Place-Pipe) or Pipe Within A Pipe process works:

The pipeline designated for repair is investigated with closed circuit high definition cameras to assess the damage and determine the condition of the pipe for the best method of rehabilitation.
Before CIPP technology, this type of repair could only be performed by excavating the area above the pipe. This is a highly disruptive process, which thanks to Perma-Liner's C-I-P-P Patented Lining systems, dig and replace has been virtually eliminated.
Measurements are taken with a sewer camera of the cleanout stack pipe, desired liner starting point and desired liner stopping point.
Our patented Scrim liner material and calibration tube is then marked and cut job site specific.
The liner material is inserted into the calibration tube to the desired pre-marked spot where the liner will be bonded to the calibration tubing using a special plastic bonding adhesive.
The liner material is then saturated with a proprietary blend of 100% solids epoxy resin that will ultimately form the new pipe inside of the damaged pipe.
Next, the calibration tube and saturated liner are loaded into the Perma-Lateral™ Inversion drum and the drum is positioned over the cleanout. The calibration tube and liner material are then introduced into the damaged pipe by using air pressure to invert both materials down the length of the repair.
Once the liner and calibration tube have completely inverted, the calibration tube is inflated to its desired holding pressure and will act as a bladder pressing the resin saturated liner against the host pipe for a designated amount of time. During this period, the chemical reaction will take place causing the liner to cure to its hardened state.
The calibration tube is removed by winding the material directly back into the inversion machine, leaving no mess, or waste. A post video is then taken for final inspection.
The result is a permanent, C-I-P-P lined repair that is stronger, longer lasting and more durable than the damaged and deteriorated pipe prior to being lined.

And all of this is achieved in a fraction of the time it would take to run a traditional dig and replace operation making Cured-In-Place-Pipe lining truly a time and money saving, as well as environmentally-friendly repair process.
