Repair stormwater pipe leaks in walls with pipe relining<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
To carry out the project, our team first attended the building to inspect the problem and get a thorough understanding of the pipe network. While we were provided with the building\u2019s plans, we double checked the stormwater pipes by doing a drain inspection using our CCTV drain camera. Through this footage we were able to determine where the issues were in the stormwater pipes, and could then put a strategy into place to avoid any disruption to our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We then prepared the stormwater pipes using our high-pressure water jet blaster. Then using our specialty equipment, we relined the pipes using a hardy resin, to create a pipe that\u2019s often even stronger than the original. Our team sectioned off areas of the stormwater pipe network as they went, repairing the relevant section before reattaching it to the network and moving onto the next area. This meant we were able to complete the repairs while the building\u2019s stormwater drainage system was still active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even bad weather doesn\u2019t dampen our plumbing services<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The Nuflow Cairns team initially estimated that the repair work would take 4.5 weeks to complete, and we started the project in mid-April 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cairns was then hit by torrential rain, with 800mm falling over 10 days. This was problematic because to carry out the pipe relining, we needed to block off sections of the stormwater pipes. But to ensure no flooding in the building, we also needed to ensure there was adequate drainage still available through the stormwater pipe system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through careful planning and carrying out the repairs strategically, we were able to avoid any flooding, and still manage to complete the job in the planned time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the entire project, the building maintained 100% occupancy of workers, and they were all able to carry on their jobs as usual with no disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Particularly given the heavy rainfall and the risk of delay, the client was incredibly happy to have the repairs completed with minimal fuss and delivered on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After we completed the works, we again did a drain inspection using our CCTV drain camera to assess the full network of stormwater pipes and ensure the leaks were solved. We also provided this footage to both the building\u2019s plumbing hydraulic engineer and the client, to give them added peace of mind. The result was a very satisfied client, with the work being described as a \u2018high standard\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nuflow Cairns can help.
