Process Features
The American Pipe Lining Method:
The in-place pipe restoration process developed by American Pipe lining,
Inc. is an economical and efficient alternative to traditional pipe
system replacement. Our proprietary technology allows us to restore
aged, corroded piping systems in-place to a "better than new" condition
without the use of chemicals or mechanical devices. The epoxy coating
applied to the pipes' interior, seal and protects the system from
further deterioration and dramatically extends system life. The process
can be used on a variety of pipe material including galvanized steel,
cast/black iron, copper and lead.
The American Pipe Lining method uses heated conditioned air to move a
non-toxic abrading agent through designated pipe runs and segments. The
movement of the agent through the pipe dislodges the corrosion buildup
and transports it to an exit opening in the pipe where it is collected
in a cyclonic grit unit and secondary dust collection system. The waste
corrosion product is non-toxic and easily disposed of without any harm
to the environment. The result is a clean, rust-free polished surface
inside the pipe. Following pipe cleaning, a potable water safe,
NSF61- certified liquid epoxy is
distributed through the piping using heated controlled air flow to
facilitate optimal adhesion and curing. The coating will cure within
12-24 hours, after which time the system is re-assembled and returned to
service next day. The result is a smooth and durable finish resistant to
further corrosion and deterioration.
