Advanced Drain Lining Techniques

When pipework becomes broken or misaligned, we use a variety of drain lining methods to reinstate structural integrity:

Polyester Resin-Based Felt Liners

  • Ideal for pipes with diameters up to 600mm.
  • Suitable for straight sections of pipework.
  • Maximum run lengths:
  • 80m for 100mm and 150mm pipes.
  • 50m for 225mm and 300mm pipes.
  • 30m for larger diameter pipes.
  • Installed using an Air Inversion Chamber to ensure a perfect fit.
  • Cures to form a strong, seamless inner lining that eliminates leaks and structural weaknesses.

Epoxy Flexi Liner for Complex Pipework

    • Designed for pipes with bends and deviations.
    • Uses an elasticised woven polypropylene sock impregnated with epoxy resin.
    • Blown into the damaged pipe at approximately 1 bar of pressure.
    • Forms a strong, watertight bond to the pipe walls once cured.
    • Effectively seals fractures, misaligned joints and cracks to prevent water infiltration and odours.

    Enhanced Flow Efficiency

    • The installation of a liner slightly reduces pipe diameter, but this is outweighed by the benefit of improved flow.
    • By sealing joints and cracks, water moves through the system more efficiently.
    • The newly lined drain becomes a continuous, seamless structure, reducing the risk of future blockages.
