Ask the Professor? Question: What is the technical envelope for Resiline 320? Response: Resiline 320 has an 8-hour recoat window and a 60-minute return to service, without the need for flushing with gallons of clean water. A Resiline 320 liner, ranging from 1 to 14mm in thickness, can be applied to pipes with diameters from 6 to 42 inches, allowing for same-day or next-day return to service. Resiline 320 offers outstanding short and long-term mechanical properties, enabling quick construction of AWWA CLASS I to IV liners with minimal public and business disruption, and without needing a temporary water bypass. To select the appropriate AWWA liner class, owners or engineers must define performance requirements, assess the host pipe's deterioration, and identify potential failure modes, such as corrosion holes or ring fractures. For water quality and asset life extension, an AWWA CLASS I to III Resiline 320 liner is a cost-effective choice. If the host pipe exhibits minimal external and/or internal corrosion and breaks, then a CLASS I to III Resiline 320 would be a highly cost-effective option. Hosts pipes that are leaking and severely corroded (steel and thin-walled ductile iron) or have a high annual ring break history (i.e., Cast and Asbestos Cement) may require a CLASS IV liner or replacement of the main. Since most pipes in a water main network will not meet these Class IV requirements, significant cost, time, and public disruption savings can be achieved by installing a Resiline 320 Class II or III liner. Contact SIPP Americas to learn more about our high-quality resins and cost-effective pipe rehabilitation solutions, including the potential use of Resiline 320 for your upcoming projects. We are also seeking additional qualified applicators who are committed to effectively addressing leaks and enhancing the longevity of water pipes.  

We have completed a project investigating the levels of asbestos fibres in drinking water that had passed through asbestos cement (AC) pipes. In response to the recommendations from a 2021 report by the World Health Organisation, ASSEA partnered with the research team from Deakin University to undertake this project. Drinking water from a location in regional Victoria was examined, and it was revealed that asbestos fibres were not detected in any of the water samples. In consultation with our working group, we may examine the water from AC pipes in other locations for the presence of asbestos fibres in the future. Read more - https://lnkd.in/gkn9mfNz

At SIPP Americas public safety is Number 1. Below are the reason why we use Resiline 320 to rehabilitate potable watermains. 1) Potable Water Certified/Approved: NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 UK Drinking Water Inspectorate Reg 31 (4)(a) British Standard 6920: 2014 /WRAS approved as Site Applied Material Australia and New Zealand 4020:2018 Singapore SS375 2) BPA, VOC, PFOS, PFOA and Pre-Fluorinated substance free. 3) Moisture intolerance, crucial for drinking water pipe rehabilitation. 4) The material has high in-service wet strength. Therefore, it maintains its structural integrity by not absorbing water over time - with no protective coating layer. 5) Demonstrates superior adhesion to the host pipe, with minimal shrinkage due to the low cure exotherm. 6) The service can resume following a 60-minute curing period without the necessity of water flushing. This approach conserves clean potable water, reduces waste production, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and minimizes both project costs and duration, thereby reducing disruptions to the public and businesses.  7) Same-day return to service is achievable without the need for constructing and maintaining a disruptive and costly temporary bypass water system.

Amid all the buzz about artificial intelligence and robotics, we’re excited to introduce you to our own little marvel: a 'wheeled wonder with a spray can' that’s transforming how we reline our water mains! Resiline 320 is innovative technology that zips through water pipes, spraying a quick-curing lining that extends their life and reduces bursts and leaks.  This means our customers get reliable, world-class water at their tap every day. And unlike the traditional way to reline a pipe – digging it out of the ground - it's quick and minimally disruptive, taking just a few days instead of weeks and sparing streets, footpaths and nature strips from major excavations.  We're excited about the potential of this clever little robot re-liner!

All done over in the USA, 2km of 450mm (18”) diameter Potable water pipeline coated with a 6mm thick lining of #Resiline320 The problem The Steel reinforced concrete pipe was never commissioned from new due to internal defects on the pipe wall. Equipment used One of our SR1000 SIPP lining rigs with some of our latest innovations: * AVOS * Non contact flow meters * “Smart check” weight check system Lining material Resiline 320 a NSF approved high quality lining with a verifiable 50 year design life, losing little of its strength over its design life. Solution * Pipe was scrapped * Pipe was flushed * Defects were addressed * Pipe was lined with a 6mm thick semi-structural layer of 320. Lining lengths Lining lengths up to 165m between excavations were achieved. Our thanks to our USA partner who worked professionally and competently throughout the whole process, proving joint ventures can work well when all parties work as a team, well done to all. #schurbph #pipecoating #pipelinecoating #innovation #SIPP #SR1000 #SR2000 #SR3000
