GEOPOLYMER LINING

SPRAY LINING FOR
FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS
Spiniello rehabilitates aging and deteriorating pipes by applying geopolymer material to provide a structurally improved lining. The application material covers and protects the pipe surface by filling in voids, cracks, and other defects while also restoring joints. Geopolymer spray lining extends the life of the host pipe by 50+ years while also providing corrosion resistance and eliminating infiltration. Spiniello has installed geopolymer spray lining to rehabilitate large diameter pipes in sanitary and storm sewer systems ranging from 36-inches to 240-inches in diameter.

Geopolymer concrete is used on various rehabilitation projects as a viable alternative to traditional Portland concrete or cement. With minimally-processed natural materials and industrial byproducts, it provides enhanced durability against traditional crack and crumble issues in concrete. Geopolymer cures quicker than Portland concrete and obtains most of its strength within 24 hours.

BENEFITS
-
Higher compressive and flexural strength than that of ordinary concrete. The properties of geopolymer also provide for a rapid strength gain and cures very quickly, making this technology an excellent option for efficiency and production builds.
-
Internal bypass or limited bypass setup time which allows systems to be reinstated faster. Flows can usually be put back on the pipe within a few hours depending on conditions.
-
By mechanical sled or handheld depending on specific site conditions.
-
Geopolymer can remain stable at extreme high or cold temperatures. Excessive heat can reduce the stability of conventional concrete causing it to spall or have layers break off. Geopolymer is also resistant to freezing and will not crack.
-
Geopolymer has a strong chemical resistance. Acids, toxic waste, and salt water will not have an effect on geopolymer. Corrosion will not likely occur with this material unlike Portland cement.
-
The use of reinforcement of WWM or steel rebar is not needed unless called for in the engineering design dependent on the existing pipe condition.
