Why is SIPP Better Than Pipe Replacement?
SIPP Offers Long Term Benefits.
SIPP technology offers significant long-term benefits in comparison to traditional pipe replacement. With an engineered life of 75 years, an epoxy lined pipe will last nearly as long as an entirely new pipe. After rehabilitation, you’re left with a fully plasticized non-porous interior that nothing will ever stick to or tuberculate onto again. In most cases, our water main clients double, triple or even quadruple their previous flow capacity. On average, a coated pipe has a C-Factor of between 100-110, which is maintained for the rest of the life of that pipe. A brand new pipe without epoxy will begin to experience reduced flow capacity after only a decade of service.
