For Clear Drains North West, innovation continues to pave the way for tackling even the most complex challenges. One such instance that recently dealt with is the CCTV survey and subsequent liner installation in a particularly challenging environment. The project not only highlighted the skills of our team but also showcased the remarkable capabilities of modern drainage technology.
Defective Pipework
In a world where excavation and replacement of defective pipework can be a costly and disruptive affair, alternative solutions have become the need of the hour. This is where cutting-edge techniques like CCTV surveys and liner installations come into play, offering a minimally invasive yet effective way to rehabilitate drainage systems. In this blog post, we dive deep into a recent case that perfectly exemplifies how these techniques can turn a seemingly impossible scenario into a success story.
The Challenge: Defective Pipework Under an Extension
The project in question revolved around a property that was plagued by defective pipework lurking beneath a crucial extension. The extent of the defect rendered traditional excavation methods unviable due to the potential disruption to the extension and surrounding areas. Here’s where our expertise and innovation came into play.
CCTV Survey: Illuminating the Path Forward
The first step in addressing any drainage issue is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the problem at hand. In this case, we employed Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) survey technology to conduct a thorough inspection of the pipework. The survey not only confirmed the presence of defects but also provided a detailed visual assessment of the overall condition of the drainage system.
One of the key challenges highlighted by the CCTV survey was the presence of tight bends that posed an obstacle to the liner installation process. These bends necessitated a meticulous approach to ensure the liner would seamlessly navigate through the twists and turns of the pipework.
Liner Installation: Navigating Tight Bends with Precision
Armed with the insights gained from the CCTV survey, our team embarked on the liner installation process. The primary goal was to restore the functionality of the drainage system while minimising disruption to the property and its occupants. Despite the challenges posed by the tight bends, our experienced team approached the task with precision and determination.
The liner installation process was bolstered by the utilization of the IMS comfort DN 100-225mm cutter, a cutting-edge tool that facilitated smooth and tidy connection cut outs. This innovative equipment played a pivotal role in ensuring that the liner seamlessly integrated with the existing system, thus enhancing its overall efficiency.
A Triumph for Innovation and Expertise
The culmination of meticulous planning, advanced technology, and expert execution resulted in a triumph for all parties involved. The client’s requirement for a non-invasive solution was met with resounding success, eliminating the need for disruptive excavation. The defective pipework that had once posed a significant challenge was now seamlessly rehabilitated, breathing new life into the drainage system.
Looking Ahead: Collaboration and Partnership
As proponents of collaboration and knowledge sharing, we extend an invitation to drainage-related companies and other entities seeking partnerships with a reliable and experienced sub-contractor. Our success story stands as a testament to the remarkable outcomes that can be achieved through partnership and innovation.
