UV-Cured CIPP Lining
Ultraviolet light cures a glass-fiber liner quickly and consistently, with tight control over the process and strong, thin-walled results.
The details, in plain English.
In UV-cured CIPP, a glass-fiber liner saturated with a light-sensitive resin is pulled into the pipe and inflated with air. A train of ultraviolet lights then travels through the liner, curing the resin as it passes. The process is quick and carefully monitored.
UV curing is well suited to many sewer and storm lines because the cure is fast and repeatable, the liner is strong for its thickness and there is no hot water or steam to manage. The method is chosen after inspection, and some conditions favor other cure methods.

Questions, answered
Is UV better than steam or hot water?
It is a different tool. UV excels for many lines, while hot water or steam suits others. We choose based on the pipe, length and conditions.
Can UV cure in wet pipes?
Flow must be controlled and the pipe prepared. We plan bypass and drying as part of the job.
