When cracked, corroded or collapsing pipes threaten your property, don’t dig – reline!
Pipe rehabilitation offers a highly effective, no-dig alternative to traditional plumbing repairs for commercial, industrial and residential sites.
But what exactly is pipe rehabilitation?
In simple terms, it refers to restoring the structural integrity and function of existing pipes without having to replace them. It can also be referred to as pipe relining or re-sleeving.
At Nuflow Ipswich, we specialise in trenchless pipe rehabilitation. Utilising existing access points, a CCTV drain inspection allows us to identify the problem, and come up with a strategy to fix it. Our trenchless technology means no digging up roads, driveways, or landscaped areas – just smart, efficient solutions that save time, money, and stress!
What are the Common Pipe Rehabilitation Methods?
If we detect a blockage in your pipes or drains, we may use hydro jets to deliver high volume, high pressure water to blast it out. Sometimes this is enough to solve the issue, but if damage is identified – that’s when pipe relining may be required.
Common pipe rehabilitation techniques we may use include:
- CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) rehabilitation – which involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe via pull-in-place methodology, then curing it to create a brand-new pipe within the old one.
- SIPP (Sprayed-In-Place Pipe) rehabilitation – similar to CIPP, but the resin is sprayed in. This offers a faster application for short sections and can be a good option for restoring pipe integrity when major structural reinforcement (that CIPP offers) is not required.
- Brush coating pipes– For tough to access pipes – such as in highrise buildings – we can utilise dual rotating brushes connected to a specialised coating pump to distribute a 100% solid epoxy resin throughout the pipe’s interior.
Trenchless Pipe Rehabilitation in the Real World
Our expert team recently worked on a major trade waste drainage upgrade in the Ipswich area. We installed over 250 metres of Nuflow HTAR (High Temp Acid Resistant) resin liners ranging from 100mm to 225mm – all without excavation. This CIPP rehabilitation allowed the site to avoid costly shutdowns while delivering a long-lasting fix.
In another case, we completed a sewer pipe rehabilitation using UV-cured liners in a busy shopping centre. With pipes as large as 375mm in diameter, this trenchless system was ideal for accommodating various pipe shapes and sizes, helping the centre stay open with minimal disruption to trade.
Why Go Trenchless?
Trenchless pipe rehabilitation offers major advantages, particularly for commercial and industrial environments where downtime isn’t an option. Facilities like food processing plants, hospitals, schools, and shopping centres rely on uninterrupted service. Excavation-based repairs can mean days – or even weeks – of lost productivity.
That’s why our pipe rehabilitation solutions are trusted by plumbers, strata managers, and major construction companies.
