Pipe Lining
What is Pipe Lining?
Pipe Lining uses trenchless technology and requires little or no earthworks
to deliver a fast and permanent solution for repairing blocked and damaged
pipes. Traditionally pipes have been dug up and replaced; now Pipe Hunter
offers a cleaner, cost effective alternative without the disruption of
excavation.
Our pipe lining technology is so flexible that it can be used to reline
continuous lengths of pipe or provide short patches, reline multiple bends,
boundary traps or create one-piece junction repairs. Suitable for storm
water or sewerage pipes, Pipe Hunter’s system can be applied to pipe
diameters ranging from 40mm up to 300mm.
-
CCTV is used to inspect
and survey damaged pipes from existing access points
-
Pipes are then cleaned
using high pressure water jets and prepared for relining
-
A liner is impregnated
with epoxy resin and a deflated bladder is inserted into the liner
-
The liner is then
inserted into the damaged pipe
-
Once in position, the
bladder inflates and expands the liner to form the shape of the existing
pipe
-
This creates a new
pipe within the damaged pipe
-
The resin cures to form
a permanent replacement pipe
-
The bladder is then
removed to allow for immediate use of the pipe
The epoxy resin used in Pipe Hunter’s system is chemically engineered
specifically for pipe lining. It has the structural properties of a PVC
pipe, offering the same hardness and flexibility as PVC.
It’s the fast alternative
The use of trenchless technology means little or no excavation work is
required. This results in minimal disruption to the surrounding area and
faster job completion.
Pipe Hunter uses superior quality resins, engineered, manufactured and
tested in Germany to ensure fast curing times and pipes that are ready for
immediate use.
It’s the flexible option
Our pipe lining materials are structurally sound so they can span a range of
pipe diameters, seamlessly line multiple bends and patch missing sections of
pipe, all with the structural integrity of a permanent new pipe.
It’s a safer choice
By eliminating the need for destructive excavation, we are also eliminating
the serious OH&S risks involved with operating heavy machinery and the risk
of injury or death associated with deep excavation.
High quality materials and workmanship
Pipe Hunter only uses high quality, chemical resistant
liners and styrene-free, non-toxic resins in our pipe lining process. Our
high performance materials are engineered, manufactured and tested in
Germany using world’s best practice and are ISO 9001 certified. All workmanship is
guaranteed for 6 years*. [View Quality Certification – ISO

*Workmanship guarantee is provided by the
Plumbing Industry Commission on jobs exceeding $750 in value.
It’s the cost effective solution
Excavating the area and replacing pipes is time consuming and expensive;
using trenchless technology removes the need to dig and lowers labour costs.
Pipe Hunter’s system means the job is completed quickly, cleanly and cost
effectively.
The combination of trenchless technology, years of experience and superior
quality materials allow Pipe Hunter to provide long-term pipe lining
solutions with minimal disruption to landscaping and paved areas.
Our high performance materials create a perfectly stable laminate layer
within damaged pipes. This layer has the structural integrity of a new pipe;
it can stand alone, even spanning voids in damaged pipes to create a new
pipe within the old one. The result is a permanent repair to the damaged
pipe, completed without excavating the surrounding area.
