Steam-Cured CIPP Lining
Steam cures the liner quickly and works well for many diameters, with shorter cure times than ambient or cool-water methods.
The details, in plain English.
Steam curing pushes steam through the inside of the installed liner, heating the resin until it hardens. It is widely used for sewer and drain pipes because steam delivers heat quickly and evenly through the liner.
A steam boiler trailer is set up near the access point, with hoses to the liner. Cure time is monitored with temperature sensors, and the steam is controlled and vented safely. The result is a hardened liner ready for reinstatement and final camera inspection.
