Pressure Lining for Water & Gas Pipes
Pressure pipelines are critical infrastructure, but when ageing or damaged water and gas mains require rehabilitation, traditional excavation and replacement can create significant disruption, cost and logistical challenges.
Arch Services provides specialist pressure pipe lining solutions for the trenchless rehabilitation of water and gas pipelines. Using advanced no-dig technology, specialist lining systems and modern UV curing equipment, we can rehabilitate suitable pipelines from within the existing pipe, reducing the need for extensive excavation and conventional open-cut replacement.
As specialists in no-dig pipeline rehabilitation, we continue to invest in advanced equipment, materials and specialist training to expand the range of complex infrastructure projects we can undertake. From pressurised water mains to gas pipelines, our experienced team can provide a technically led approach tailored to the condition, application and requirements of each pipeline.
​
Specialist Pressure Pipe Rehabilitation
Repairing a pressurised pipeline presents different challenges to rehabilitating a conventional gravity sewer. Water and gas pipelines must withstand internal operating pressures, placing specific demands on the materials, installation process and structural performance of the finished lining system. Specialist pressure pipe rehabilitation therefore requires the correct combination of liner technology, installation equipment, preparation and trained operatives.
Arch Services brings together these capabilities to provide a modern alternative to conventional pipeline replacement. Where pressure lining is suitable, the existing pipeline can be rehabilitated internally to create a durable new lining system within the host pipe. This can significantly reduce the amount of excavation required while extending the serviceable life of existing infrastructure.
Our approach is particularly suited to projects where reducing surface disruption, excavation and reinstatement is a priority.
​
What Is Pressure Pipe Lining?
Pressure pipe lining is a trenchless rehabilitation technique used to renew existing pipelines from within. Rather than excavating along the full length of a damaged or deteriorating water or gas main, the existing pipe is used as the pathway for installing a specialist liner.
Depending on the system and project requirements, the pipeline is first inspected, cleaned and prepared before the liner is introduced into the host pipe. The liner is positioned against the internal pipe wall and cured to create a new structural lining system within the existing pipeline.
Advanced UV-CIPP systems use ultraviolet light to control the curing process. Specialist UV equipment travels through the installed liner, curing the resin and transforming the flexible liner into a strong, permanent pipe structure. The result is effectively a new pipe installed within the existing pipeline, without the extensive excavation normally associated with full-length replacement.
​
Pressure Lining for Water Mains
Water mains form an essential part of the UK's infrastructure, and deterioration can lead to leakage, reduced performance and increasing maintenance requirements. Arch Services provides specialist trenchless solutions for the rehabilitation of suitable pressurised water pipelines.
Pressure lining allows sections of existing water infrastructure to be renewed internally, providing an alternative to excavating and replacing the complete pipeline. This can be particularly valuable beneath roads, developed sites and other locations where extensive excavation would create significant disruption.
Specialist lining systems developed for water infrastructure are engineered specifically for the demands of pressurised pipelines. For potable water applications, the materials and finished lining system must also meet the relevant requirements associated with drinking water infrastructure.
By combining specialist pressure lining materials with advanced installation and UV curing technology, Arch Services can provide an efficient, technically robust approach to water main rehabilitation.
Whether supporting planned infrastructure renewal or addressing deteriorating pipeline assets, our team can assess the project requirements and determine an appropriate trenchless rehabilitation solution.
​
Pressure Lining for Gas Mains
Gas pipeline rehabilitation demands specialist knowledge, controlled installation processes and lining technology designed specifically for pressurised gas infrastructure. Arch Services is expanding its specialist no-dig capabilities to support the rehabilitation of suitable gas pipelines using advanced pressure lining technology.
Rather than relying solely on conventional excavation and replacement, trenchless lining allows suitable existing pipelines to be rehabilitated internally. This can considerably reduce the amount of excavation and reinstatement required across a project.
For gas infrastructure running beneath highways, commercial sites, developed areas or other sensitive locations, reducing excavation can provide substantial operational benefits. Specialist gas lining systems are designed around the demanding performance requirements of gas networks, providing a structural rehabilitation solution installed within the existing host pipe.
Combined with careful pipeline preparation, specialist equipment and trained installation teams, this gives asset owners and contractors another option when considering how ageing gas infrastructure can be renewed.
​
Why Choose Trenchless Pressure Lining?
Traditional pipeline replacement can require extensive excavation along the route of a water or gas main. This can mean road closures, traffic management, disruption to surrounding properties, substantial reinstatement work and complex site logistics.
​
Pressure lining approaches the problem differently by rehabilitating suitable pipelines internally, the amount of excavation required can be significantly reduced. Access can often be concentrated around strategic installation points rather than opening the ground along the entire pipeline route.
​
Depending on the pipeline and project, the benefits can include:
-
Reduced excavation and reinstatement
-
Less disruption to roads, businesses and surrounding infrastructure
-
Faster rehabilitation programmes in suitable applications
-
Reduced requirement for conventional open-cut replacement
-
Structural rehabilitation of existing pipeline assets
-
Access to pipelines in challenging or heavily developed locations
-
Extended service life for existing infrastructure
-
Reduced overall impact on the surrounding site​​
​​
The suitability of pressure lining depends on factors including pipe material, diameter, condition, operating pressure, access and the intended application.
That's why Arch Services takes a technically led approach. We assess the requirements of the individual pipeline before recommending the most appropriate rehabilitation method.
​
Advanced Pressure Lining Technology
The quality of a trenchless rehabilitation project depends on much more than the liner itself.
Successful pressure pipe rehabilitation requires specialist materials, precise installation, controlled curing and equipment capable of monitoring the process throughout the project.
Arch Services continues to invest in advanced trenchless technology to provide these capabilities in-house.
Our expanding rehabilitation capabilities incorporate specialist UV curing technology from ProKASRO alongside advanced lining systems and materials developed for demanding pipeline applications.
UV curing provides a controlled method of curing compatible CIPP liners after installation. Specialist UV light equipment travels through the liner while the curing process is monitored, allowing the liner to harden into its final structural form within the existing pipeline.
Investment in specialist equipment is supported by manufacturer-led training, technical knowledge and the practical experience of our no-dig rehabilitation teams.
For our clients, that means access to an increasingly comprehensive range of specialist trenchless solutions from a contractor focused on investing in the technology required for modern pipeline rehabilitation.
​
A Complete No-Dig Pipeline Rehabilitation Service
Pressure lining is one part of Arch Services' wider trenchless rehabilitation capability. Before a pipeline can be successfully lined, its internal condition must be understood and the pipe must be properly prepared. Following installation, additional specialist works may also be required.
Our wider capabilities include commercial CCTV surveying, high-pressure water jetting, pipeline cleaning, UV-CIPP rehabilitation and robotic cutting, allowing multiple stages of the rehabilitation process to be delivered by an experienced specialist drainage team.
Robotic cutting technology can be used to carry out precise work within pipelines remotely, including removing certain obstructions and preparing pipework for rehabilitation. Following lining works, robotic systems can also be used where appropriate to accurately reopen lateral connections without conventional excavation.
Bringing these technologies together allows Arch Services to approach pipeline rehabilitation as a complete process rather than an isolated repair. From the initial investigation and preparation through to specialist lining and post-installation works, our objective is to identify an effective solution while minimising unnecessary excavation and disruption.
