Toledo, Ohio Commits to PipePatch Trenchless Technology

Manager

City of Toledo, Division of Sewer and Drainage Service

www.ci.toledo.oh.us

I am writing in regards to one of the most innovative products the City of Toledo’s Division of Sewer and Drainage Services has used in some time, Source One Environmental's PipePatch Cured in Place Point Repair Trenchless Technology. The initial demonstration project on a newly resurfaced street saved us the expense of digging new asphalt, curb and a drive approach, as well as the expense of replacing extensive landscape in a backyard easement.

Since the initial demonstration we have committed to developing a Trenchless Pipe Patch Repair Program. Sewer and Drainage Services purchased a specially equipped vehicle, packers, kits, and we’ve trained a deployment team to make the most of the trenchless repair process. This technology saves time and money, and gives the City of Toledo, Division of Sewer and Drainage Services the ability to work smarter not harder.

PipePatch Saves The Town of Grand Island, NY $10,000

Town Engineer

The Town of Grand Island - Department of Engineering & Water Resources

The Town of Grand Island Department of Engineering and Water Resources purchased a S1E Pipe Patch unit from E. J. Prescott after seeing a demonstration in the Town of Tonawanda. We had a sewer leak in a location that was going to be very difficult to repair conventionally. We observed a "sink hole" adjacent to and under a resident's driveway. We used our sewer camera to determine that the leak was from an unused wye. The wye is on an 8" diameter VTP sanitary sewer that is approximately 13' deep. In addition, the sewer is only 6' from the edge of East River Road and there is an 8" diameter east iron water main that is located between the road and the sewer about 4' down.

The day we did the repair, we met Adam Frenzel from S1E at our WWTP at 8:00AM. We mobilized and arrived on site around 8:30. The line had been previously cleaned, so we proceeded with the repair process. Adam guided our personnel through the process which went extremely smooth. Once the repair was complete, we re-televised the line and found the repair in the perfect spot and in great condition. From start to finish, the whole process only took 4 hours.

A conventional open cut repair would have... Read more ...

Historic Area of Montgomery, OH Repaired with PipePatch

The City of Montgomery, OH

www.montgomeryohio.org

The City of Montgomery, OH was experiencing a major sinkhole in a very old and historic part of downtown on Montgomery Rd. which served as a main artery for local traffic. Upon CCTV inspection, Tele-Vac Environmental found the culprit; a 24" VCP storm sewer which tied into a 60" galvanized steel road culvert was missing the last two sections of pipe. The engineering department needed something non-invasive, yet structural to rehabilitate this massive void, and keep from having to traditionally excavate Montgomery Rd. Once the measurement was obtained, it was determined that two 24 X 48" PipePatch kits be used to structurally rehabilitate the void and allow for a contractor to put the earth back on top of the pipe that had been washed out.

From set up to tear down, the entire job took roughly six hours (as oppose to days) to get the job completed and traffic was constantly flowing throughout the duration of the two repairs. The City of Montgomery experienced tremendous cost savings, on top of avoiding negative press and public opinion from shutting down a major thoroughfare during the middle of a work week.

Assisted Living Facility is Repaired with CIPP Trenchless Technology in Brook Park, Ohio

Brook Park, OH

www.cityofbrookpark.com

In Brook Park, OH an assisted living facility was experiencing major issues with the 4" cast iron main sewer line running directly underneath the main hallway of the facility. After multiple back ups, the facility contacted a local plumber to jet and televise the sewer to see what could be done. After the line was cleaned and televised, it was discovered that the entire bottom of the main sewer was rotted and was majorly hindering flow. Due to the large amount of residents that were suffering from dementia at this facility, the traditional dig and replace methodology was not wanted due to the major disruptions it would have caused the residents during their rehabilitation sessions. In the 50 ft. of pipe that was damaged, there were six tie ins from residents bathrooms. Therefore, a full lining alternative was not a cost effective option due to the reinstating of the laterals. It was determined that the only true, trenchless solution for this particular application was PipePatch.

The 4" cast iron floor cleanouts served as the only access points to get the bladder in place. The bladder manipulated the cleanout easily, and the plumber was able to repair the 50 ft. of cast... Read more ...

PipePatch Repairs Sanitary Pipe in Worcester, Massachusetts

City of Worcester, MA

www.worcesterma.gov

We just made a nice repair of a hole we found in our sanitary pipe. It was a huge issue because 90% of the flow was going into the hole and entering our drain pipe. The infiltration was located in a section of pipe near a rail line, in the woods and down a steep hill. It would have been a big project to dig, most likely costing us a lot of money, time and man-power. By utilizing PipePatch's CIPP trenchless technology, the infiltration was quickly repaired in just a few hours.

Alpine Lake Public Utilities Co. Success with PipePatch

I wanted to express how pleased our company is with the Pipe Patch System we purchased from your company and the exemplary service we have received.

We were first introduced to this product when we were contacted by WV Rural Water Associations Jim Johnson who asked if we would be interested in a demonstration and training on Pipe Patch. Jim knew our company struggles like many do with 1&1 issues. We were introduced and t rained on the Pipe Patch System by Gregg Conklin and seeing is believing! To be able to adequately repair a sewer main without digging is nothing short of amazing.

Gregg worked hands on with our staff to show them how the Pipe Patch System worked. Three 1&1 repairs were made in two days without digging! The system is easy to use and with on-site training our staff was comfortable in using the system within those first two days.

I think after seeing the Pipe Patch System any utility or contractor could easily identify the benefits derived by owning the system. Our company realized that many benefits can be derived from a product that allows a repair to be made without digging such as the time and cost of the staff, excavation... Read more ...
