Buried Pipe Rehabilitation

When the problem is underground — and already developed

In buried pipelines, problems rarely appear immediately. When symptoms show — ground settlement, leaks or recurring blockages — the issue has usually been evolving for some time.

And there is a pattern we see often: especially in clay pipes, there are settlements, misalignments and loss of watertightness over several meters.

This is exactly where CIPP rehabilitation becomes relevant.

What we typically find during inspections

With CCTV inspection, it is very common to identify:

  • pipe settlement (offset joints)

  • open joints with infiltration

  • cracks and material loss

  • root intrusion

  • deformation along the pipeline

In most cases, it’s not a single defect — it’s the overall evolution of the pipe over time.

How CIPP rehabilitation works

The process involves installing a structural fiberglass liner impregnated with resin inside the pipe, which is then cured in place.

After curing, a new continuous pipe is formed inside the existing one.

In practical terms, this allows:

  • restoring structural strength

  • eliminating leaks

  • stabilizing degraded areas

  • improving flow performance

All of this without excavation along the pipeline.

About settlement — important to understand

It’s important to be clear: CIPP does not correct the original pipe alignment.

The liner follows the existing geometry.

What it does is:

  • seal the pipe

  • reinforce the structure

  • improve hydraulic behavior

But offsets may still promote deposits over time, depending on severity.

That’s why every case requires proper technical evaluation.

When CIPP is the right solution

This approach is recommended when:

  • damage extends over several meters

  • leaks are recurring

  • excavation is difficult or highly disruptive

  • a structural solution is needed without digging

In cases of full collapse, local intervention may be required first.

Practical advantages

In real conditions, this approach allows:

  • avoiding large-scale excavation

  • reducing intervention time

  • minimizing disruption to surfaces and surroundings

  • executing the work in a controlled way

Especially relevant in urban areas, condominiums and locations with limited access.

A technical solution — not a default one

Every buried pipeline is different. That’s why we always start with CCTV inspection and real assessment before recommending any solution.

CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) is a method where a structural liner is installed inside the existing pipe, creating a new pipe within the old one. It is typically used when there is structural damage along several meters, not just a localized issue.

Yes, when properly applied, CIPP is considered a long-term structural solution. It restores the pipe’s integrity and can significantly extend its service life without the need for full replacement.

No. CIPP follows the existing shape of the pipe and does not correct alignment issues or level differences. However, it seals the pipe, reinforces its structure, and improves hydraulic performance.

CIPP is the preferred option when the problem is not isolated — for example, when there are multiple defects, infiltration points, or structural degradation along the pipe. In these cases, localized repairs may not be sufficient.

In most cases, yes. CIPP is designed to minimize or eliminate the need for excavation. However, in situations with total collapse or severe blockage, limited access or preparatory work may be required before lining.

Through CCTV inspection and technical evaluation. This allows us to assess the condition of the pipe and determine whether CIPP is appropriate or if another approach should be considered.
