CURED-IN-PLACE PIPELINING
ABEL RECON offers a complete cured-in-place pipelining service utilizing a UV-light-cured lining system manufactured by Reline America, Inc. Reline America produces the Blue-Tek™ liner, a high quality pipe renewal technology. The Blue-Tek™ liner is both a glass fiber reinforced pipe (GRP) and a UV cured-in-place pipe (CIPP). This innovative liner is used to reline an existing pipeline that is structurally damaged, leaking, or one that has reached its expected lifespan.
The Blue-Tek™ liner consists of two specially formulated principle materials: glass fiber and resin. The liner strength originates with the seamless, spirally wound glass fiber tube. The resin component will be either polyester, vinylester, or an ortho based resin. All wet-out functions are performed at the factory, thus eliminating the potential for installer error due to liners impregnated at various regional locations or onsite.
ABEL RECON determined the Blue-Tek™ liner system to be the future method of cured-in-place pipelining in today's market. The seamless liner has both an exterior film and an interior film. Any possibility of premature exposure to UV light is blocked by the exterior film. Both of the film materials protect the liner from impurities, resin migration or washout, and also remove the threat of contamination on the jobsite.
