Eliminates Root Intrusion
Step 1 – Liner Wet Out
A tube comprised of multiple layers of poly-textile with a water-tight barrier membrane is carefully measured and cut to length.
Prepared resin is weighed and a pre-calculated amount is poured into the dry tube.
Vacuum is applied to the end of the tube while it is fed through calibrated roller equipment to ensure uniform saturation of the material with resin.
Step 2 – Installation
There are several methods for installing liner into pipe. In most cases, the resin-saturated tube is loaded into a pressure drum outfitted with an inversion nozzle.
As air pressure is added to the drum, the liner inverts, like reversing a sock, dispensing the liner into the pipe.
The inversion places the wet resin that was previously inside of the tube in contact with the pipe wall.
Step 3 – Curing
The installed liner is held in place by maintaining the internal pressure.
Depending upon the resin system utilized, the newly installed liner is cured using ambient chemistry, applied heat, or ultra-violet light.
As liner cures, it bonds with the pipe wall and hardens to form a PVC-like pipe within the host pipe.
Step 4 – Reinstatement
Once the liner is fully cured, any branch lines or service connections that have been covered over by the liner must be opened up again.
Champion utilizes state-of-the-art robotic tooling to cut away obstructing liner material and reinstate service connections.
After reinstatement, the restored pipe is ready to be returned to service.
