Five-Star Quality

Every liner we manufacture is sent to Quality Control for inspection.  Any imperfections are corrected immediately.

During inspection, our liner is marked with our company name, the size of the pipe, and a footage mark every five feet by an ink-jet printing system (left). 

After the inspection is complete, the liner is placed back in inventory for storage or sent to our Wet-out department to be impregnated with resin and shipped out immediately. 

QA/QC also inspects the resin during the impregnation process.

Samples are taken in a sequential order and cure times are recorded (with data logger and hot bath below) to ensure that the catalyst and resin mixture is consistent throughout the CIPP. 

A new addition to our QA/QC is our testing device, EJA Vantage-10 Universal Materials Tensile tester (right), made by Thwing-Albert.  It provides up to 10kN (2000lbs) of tension and compression force.  This unit is controlled via a serial interface connection between the tester and any standard PC or laptop.  With this new technology we are able to perform tests on all of our materials before shipping any CIPP.  We test ASTM standards D-790 & D-638 for fully cured pipe (uncertified) to reassure our customer of the quality of our liner.
