Who is Still Using Trench Pipe Repair?

Many professionals continue to make big bucks on trench pipe repair. There is a lot of misinformation around CIPP methods. Many people still have no clue it’s even an option. It is critical to be familiar with the available solutions to ensure you are choosing the best one for your needs.

What Is CIPP?

CIPP is cured in place pipe. It is a liner material that is slipped inside of a pipe and then cured and adhered to a pipe. The result is a long-lasting and durable solution. The liner is very slim and will not disrupt the flow of the pipe.

One of the greatest advantages of CIPP is the ability to insert the liner without extensive trenching or digging. In fact, there should be little to no digging for CIPP repairs. Instead, the materials are inserted using a utility hole or an access point. The only digging necessary is to reach these points.

Why Use Trench Pipe Repair?

Trench pipelining solutions are still used primarily because most structural managers and owners don’t know their options. Some companies refuse to use these because of the massive profits they get from digging. There is much information about CIPP that simply is not accurate as well, causing fear for some.

Truthfully speaking, there are very few scenarios where this solution would be an absolute must:

• Extensively corroded pipelines
• Collapsed infrastructure
• Diameter less than 2 inches
• No access point or utility hole access

These are the most common scenarios in which CIPP simply won’t do. In these scenarios, there is often no choice but to dig to make repairs. These are the exceptions to the rule. Otherwise, trenchless repairs are the way to go.
