SLIPLINING

trenchless
pipe rehabilitation

Sliplining is one of the oldest trenchless pipe rehabilitation techniques, and remains popular to this day due to its ease and effectiveness. Spiniello has completed a wide variety of sliplining projects on sanitary sewer mains, potable water, industrial pipelines, wastewater collection systems, and more. Sliplining is an environmentally-friendly solution that minimizes pedestrian and traffic disruptions, improves flow characteristics, and eliminates risks of corrosion and leakage.

  • The sliplining process entails excavating an area adjacent to the entrance or opening of the host pipe. Sections of the smaller pipe are lowered into the excavated area and pulled through the inside of the larger host pipe.  The sections are fused together to create a uniform and consistent pipe. Once the new pipe is entirely fused together and situated in place within the host pipe, then the annular space between the new and host pipes is sealed. Materials for new pipes can include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (HDPE and HE), and more.
