The wastewater pipes under an apartment complex in Hollywood, Florida, had to be repaired. Pipelining Technologies (PTI) rehabilitated the wastewater pipes in the building using BRAWO® SYSTEMS equipment. BRAWO® SYSTEMS provided on-site technical support for the installation of the BRAWOLINER® using the BRAWO® Magnavity SX light-curing system.
Technical details
- Pipe size: 6” pipe (DN 150)
- Length of the rehabilitated section: 68 feet
- Rehabilitation method: Installation of the seamless BRAWOLINER® textile hose, cured by light
- Difficulty: Only one access point available
- Rehabilitation time after cleaning: under 60 minutes
Project sequence
- Preparation and cleaning: The wastewater pipes to be rehabilitated were first thoroughly cleaned to ensure optimum adhesion of the liner.
