As the plumbing industry continues to evolve, companies are constantly looking for new solutions to age-old problems. One of the latest innovations being promoted by NuFlow is seamless pipe-lining using CCUV technology. At the recent WWETT Show, NuFlow demonstrated the effectiveness of this technique for repairing underground pipes. Here, we take a closer look at what NuFlow’s CCUV pipe-lining is, why it is necessary, and its potential benefits to the plumbing industry.
What Is CCUV Pipe-Lining?
CCUV, or Close-Circuit Ultra-Violet, is a type of pipe-lining technology that offers several advantages over traditional methods of pipe repair. It involves the use of a specially designed liner – typically made from felt or fiberglass – which is installed into the damaged pipe. This liner is then cured in place using ultraviolet light, creating a seamless and durable barrier between the damaged pipe and the surrounding environment. The result is a pipe that feels like new and can function for years to come.
Why Is It Necessary?
For many years, the only way to repair damaged pipes was to dig them up, replace them, and then repair the surrounding area. This process was not only time-consuming and expensive, but it also caused significant disruption to buildings and roads. Furthermore, it often required the purchase land or buildings to place the construction debris.
With CCUV pipe-lining, however, the damaged pipe can be repaired from the inside, without the need for excavation. Whether due to corrosion, cracks, or root infiltration, this technology can help alleviate many of the problems associated with damaged pipe work, making it easier and more cost-effective to repair pipes while minimizing disruption to buildings and their surrounding areas.
Benefits of CCUV Pipe-Lining
The benefits of CCUV pipe-lining are numerous. One major benefit is that it is less invasive than traditional pipe repair methods. It requires less excavation, and there is less disruption to surrounding buildings or areas. This means that businesses or homeowners can get back to their daily routines more quickly, without the need for costly and time-consuming repairs.
Another benefit of CCUV pipe-lining is its durability. The cured liner is seamless and resistant to corrosion and other forms of damage. It can last for decades without needing further repair, which makes it a reliable and long-lasting solution for many of the common problems that affect underground pipes.
Finally, CCUV pipe-lining is a green solution. It reduces the cost and environmental impact associated with excavating and destroying the damaged pipe to install a new one. It also reduces the amount of energy required to produce new pipes and transport them to the site for installation.
Conclusion
CCUV pipe-lining is a reliable and cost-effective solution for repairing damaged pipes. Beyond its superior durability, it is less invasive, less expensive, and more eco-friendly than traditional pipe repair methods. By using CCUV technology, plumbing companies can help clients save money, reduce disruption, and enjoy long-lasting results.
