Advanced pipe renewal without disruption

SIPP is an innovative, efficient, and long-lasting pipe rehabilitation solution that scrubs underground pipes clean and then uses a state-of-the-art, computer-controlled robotic spray to apply an internal epoxy pipe lining in situ. Once cured, the epoxy lining seals the pipe, preventing leaks and water contamination, extending the pipes’ service life, minimizing future maintenance costs, and...

Once the lining is cured, it creates an internal seal that prevents leaks and helps protect against future corrosion and biological buildup. Because the epoxy coating bonds with the pipes, it also seals cracks and protects against the formation of future infiltration. The newly applied coating, which is highly elastic, means that the lining is flexible and moves with the pipe, reducing the risk of...
