GEOPOLYMER LINING
SPRAY LINING FOR
FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS
Spiniello Companies installs Geopolymer spray lining to rehabilitate large diameter pipes of 36-inches to 240-inches for sanitary and storm sewer systems.
-
Based on specific calculations, Spiniello crews can rehabilitate aging and deteriorating pipes by applying geopolymer material and structural thicknesses. 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 providing corrosion resistance and eliminating infiltration.
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 will cure quicker than Portland concrete and obtain most of its strength within 24 hours.

geopolymer lining
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.
