Slip Lining
Enhancing Pipeline Capacity and Efficiency with Trenchless Technology
The Slip Lining process involves the insertion of a new pipe inside the original one, typically achieved by pulling the new liner using a winch from the upstream end. While the new liner naturally has a smaller diameter than the original, the outcome is an enhanced carrying capacity. This improvement arises from the superior quality of the new interior compared to the old surface. The new polyethylene liner comes pre-welded to the required length and is promptly drawn in right behind the pulling head.
To safeguard laterals from any potential damage during the pulling process, they are disconnected from the main pipe. Once the new pipe is successfully in place, the laterals are expertly re-connected. This trenchless technology represents an efficient and effective approach to pipeline rehabilitation, particularly when the circumstances are conducive to its application.
