HammerHead Trenchless Lining System boosts pipe repair

14 Aug 2021 CW Team

Underground sewer lines are deteriorating, leaking, and in desperate need of repair everywhere you go in the United States. HammerHead Trenchless has a quick-fix solution.

The company's redesigned Bluelight LED cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining system is designed for laterals and small sewer pipes with diameters ranging from 3 to 10 inches.

The redesign includes a new 3-inch light head, an intuitive touchscreen interface, interchangeable reels in 131 and 164-foot lengths, and a lightweight ergonomic frame for easier manoeuvrability and portability.

The company's Bluelight technology employs a specially formulated single-part resin that cures under blue wavelength light, allowing installers to work for significantly longer periods of time between wet-out and curing. The automated curing system pulls the LED light head through the liner once installed, curing the resin at a rate of up to 5.4 feet per minute.

Bluelight systems, both original and redesigned, can navigate and repair 45- and 90-degree bends, as well as some transitions. The Bluelight system resin is styrene-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and it meets or exceeds ASTM F1216.

The most advanced light-curing system available is the newly redesigned Bluelight LED CIPP lining system for laterals and small drain pipes. By removing the time constraints of other CIPP systems, the innovative technology empowers CIPP lining professionals.

The automated curing system pulls the LED light head through the liner once it's been installed, curing the resin almost instantly – at speeds of up to 5.4 feet per minute. A 50-foot sewer line could be fully cured in under 10 minutes, rather than waiting hours for the liner to cure. The Bluelight LED lining system is a proven solution for lateral rehab, with over 2 million ft installed worldwide.
