Slip Lining Pipe Repair
Introduction to Slip Lining
Slip lining is a type of non-invasive or trenchless pipe repair where a new pipe is inserted into the existing, failing pipe. This method uses high-density polyethylene (HDPE), or similar material that is rigid, that can add strength to the extremely damaged, structurally compromised pipe.
The Slip Lining Process
Slip lining is a method of pipe repair most appropriate for extensively damaged pipe. The new rigid pipe must closely fit the diameter of the existing pipe to ensure the capacity of the pipeline is not reduced significantly. Because the new pipe will be smaller, slip lining is most often used in large diameter pipe where capacity can be reduced.
To begin the repairs, the pipe must be inspected, via CCTV, and cleaned, via industrial vacuumation and jetting. Slip lining adds structural integrity to failing pipe and is chosen for repairs with long continuous sections
Slip lining is not ideal for pipeline with bends as the new pipe is not malleable. Slip lining is also not ideal for pipelines with lateral connections as the new pipe is continuous and would cover the connections.
Cleaning and repairing these catch basins ensures the site can continue regular operations and avoid any environmental liability or violations.

Industrial vacuumation and jetting trucks are multi-functional vehicles used for cleaning underground infrastructure. By using both suction and high-pressure water, these trucks are ideal for non-invasive maintenance.
