UV Relining: Fast, Durable Pipe Rehabilitation Without Digging

At Nuflow Brisbane South, we specialise in advanced trenchless repair solutions for all kinds of underground pipe systems. One of the most effective technologies we offer to construction companies, industrial property owners and local authorities is UV relining – also known as UV cured pipe relining.

UV relining is a no-dig pipe rehabilitation method that restores structurally damaged pipes without excavation. Instead of removing and replacing existing infrastructure, we work through the pipe’s existing access points to install a fibreglass-reinforced liner inside the pipe and cure it using ultraviolet light. This creates an industrial-strength new, jointless pipe within the old one.

How UV Lining Differs from Other Pipe Relining Techniques

Other pipe relining methods aim to fix pipes without digging, but UV lining does things a little differently compared to traditional ambient (room temperature) or steam-cured systems.

With UV cured pipe relining, liners are factory-impregnated under controlled conditions. This ensures consistent resin saturation and quality before installation.

Curing is then activated using ultraviolet light rather than heat or time-based chemical reactions. This provides greater control over curing speed, wall thickness and final structural strength, making UV relining a great choice for:

  • Large-diameter pipes
  • Long pipe runs
  • Varying pipe shapes, including circle, box culvert, ovoid, and taper cross-section
  • Drainage systems including sewerage and stormwater
  • High-load commercial or industrial environments
  • Trade Waste

Compared to other relining techniques, UV lining delivers faster installation, more predictable results, and a highly engineered outcome designed for long-term asset performance.

How UV Cured Pipe Relining Works

We start with a thorough pipe cleaning and a CCTV drain inspection to identify the issue and decide on the best solution. If UV pipe relining is deemed suitable, a pre-impregnated glass fibre liner is then inserted into the pipe and expanded to fit perfectly. Using specialised UV light trains, the liner is cured in place, forming a strong, corrosion-resistant pipe that meets strict structural standards.

Because curing is controlled and instantaneous, UV cured pipe relining is one of the fastest Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) methods available, significantly reducing downtime for commercial and industrial sites.

Why UV Relining Is Ideal for Commercial & Infrastructure Projects

UV relining offers major advantages, including:

  • Minimal disruption – No excavation means reduced impact on traffic, tenants and operations
  • Speed – Faster curing compared to traditional resin methods
  • Structural strength – Fibreglass liners deliver high load-bearing performance
  • Versatility – Suitable for DN150 to DN1600 pipes, including sewer, stormwater and trade waste systems
  • Longevity – Designed for decades of service life when engineered to Australian standards – which is why we offer a 50-year warranty on our work

The liners we use at Nuflow are manufactured by IMPREG, a global leader in UV CIPP technology, and are certified to international and Australian standards, including AS/NZS 2566.1 and ISO specifications.

A Smarter, More Sustainable Solution

UV relining also comes with environmental benefits. It has a much smaller carbon footprint than traditional dig-and-replace methods. Less machinery, less waste, and energy-efficient curing make it an excellent choice for councils and asset managers aiming for sustainable infrastructure renewal.
