Sliplining

When an existing pipe is in need of renovation, but does not require the current internal diameter, slip lining can be used to provide an economical method of pipe rehabilitation. Slip lining is a popular technique to be used on water, gas and sewer applications, and pipe replacement materials can vary to suit the requirements of the client. It is usual these days to use polyethylene pipes whilst slip lining, due to the ease of jointing, speed of installation, and minimal weights of the base materials.
