Methods for Pipeline Inspection
As urban infrastructure ages, many cities face a common challenge: how to effectively maintain and extend the service life of old drainage pipelines. Traditional repair methods often require extensive excavation, cause significant disruption, and may not guarantee long-term durability. Enter UV-cured pipe lining, an innovative trenchless technology that offers a simple, efficient, and controllable solution to pipeline rehabilitation.
At Easy Sight, we specialize in cutting-edge UV pipe lining solutions, featuring our flagship product, the ZY-86 UV-curing liner. Designed with precision and tested to rigorous standards, this liner is helping municipalities and industries worldwide revitalize their aging pipelines with minimal downtime and lasting results.
To effectively extend the lifespan of aging drainage pipelines, it's essential to understand why these pipelines fail over time. Common factors include:
Corrosion and chemical degradation from wastewater and environmental exposure.
Cracks and fractures caused by ground movement or material fatigue.
Infiltration and exfiltration leading to leakage and contamination.
Root intrusion and sediment build-up reducing flow capacity.
Traditional repair often involves disruptive excavation and replacement, but these methods may only address symptoms temporarily. A more sustainable approach focuses on strengthening the existing pipe structure and sealing leaks without interrupting service — which is where UV pipe lining excels.
UV-cured pipe lining (also known as UV-CIPP, Cured-In-Place Pipe technology) involves inserting a flexible liner impregnated with resin into a damaged pipeline. This liner is then exposed to ultraviolet light, which quickly cures the resin, transforming the liner into a hard, durable pipe within the existing pipeline. This process repairs cracks, leaks, and structural weaknesses without the need for excavation or pipe replacement.
Why Choose Easy Sight's ZY-86 UV-Curing Liner? While the market offers various UV-cured liners, not all deliver the same level of reliability and performance:
Comprehensive Product Design: The multi-layer construction of the ZY-86 liner enhances mechanical strength, prevents seepage, and resists UV degradation.
Wide Applicability: Suitable for multiple pipeline shapes and diameters, the liner is customizable to meet diverse project needs.
Quality Assurance: Manufactured under strict industry standards in Easy Sight's own production base, every liner undergoes thorough inspections to guarantee high quality.
Durability Certified by TÜV Rheinland: Our liner has proven performance through 10,000 hours of mechanical testing, ensuring long-term structural stability.
Convenient Storage Options: ZY-86 liners can be stored for 90 days at room temperature (-5 to 30°C) in dark, ventilated environments or for 180 days in constant-temperature cold storage (5 to 18°C), offering logistical flexibility.
These factors combine to make Easy Sight's ZY-86 liner a dependable choice for infrastructure managers aiming to enhance pipeline longevity with minimal hassle.
Extending drainage pipeline lifespan doesn't stop at lining installation. To fully benefit from UV pipe lining, consider these best practices:
Thorough Pipeline Inspection Before Repair: Use CCTV or sonar inspection tools to accurately assess defects and select the appropriate liner specification.
Customizing Liner Thickness and Diameter: Easy Sight's ZY-86 liner can be tailored to specific project needs, ensuring an optimal fit and strength.
Proper Storage and Handling: Store liners under recommended conditions (90 days at room temperature in dark, ventilated spaces or 180 days in cold storage) to maintain material quality.
Regular Post-Repair Monitoring: Conduct periodic inspections to catch any emerging issues early, ensuring the liner's long-term effectiveness.
By combining these strategies with Easy Sight's quality-controlled products and simple, efficient UV curing technology, pipeline operators can maximize the longevity of their drainage infrastructure.
