Spin Casting Pipe Repair
Spin Casting Stormwater Pipe
Spin casting is a pipe repair method that reinforces aging stormwater infrastructure. Similar to grouting, spin casting fills cracks and voids to strengthen the existing infrastructure.
Combatting Wear and Tear
Spin casting, also called centrifugally cast concrete pipe, is a great option for pipes that are not circular as oblong or elliptical shaped pipes are more difficult to line. Thickness of the casting is decided based on the depth and structural integrity of the original pipe. The pipe must be visually inspected via CCTV to decide the degree of repairs needed. The pipe is then emptied and cleaned to prepare for casting. Spin casting is used as a method of prolonging the lifespan of the pipeline. Spin casting is used in conjunction with other repair methods but is not used alone for large repairs.
The spin casting machine is pulled through the pipe at a controlled speed to allow for even coating of desired thickness along the pipe interior. The cast concrete cures in a few hours and the new pipeline is ready to convey water again. The coated pipeline is now more structurally sound and protected from corrosion.
The centrifugally cast method can be used with other infrastructure, not just pipelines.
Cleaning and repairing these catch basins ensures the site can continue regular operations and avoid any environmental liability or violations.
