You want your contracting company to prevent excavation and unnecessary spending for your clients. During anexpansion project at the San Diego Airport, a general contractor was instructed to renovate the existing drain main.
The contractor chose Nu Flows unique, in-place pipe lining solution, which was approximately 50% of the cost of a
traditional repipe. Nu Flows innovative technology helped the contractor meet its deadline to complete the project
and stay within budget.
Project: Rehabilitate the existing drain main to a better-than-new state using the Pull-in-Place Nu Drain system.
Customer: The contracting company who was in charge of building the San Diego International Airports new
terminal.
Site: Below the San Diego International Airports existing Terminal 2 West, located in San Diego, California. The
airlines operations ofces are located in the area.
System: The 6"-wide drain main that is located several
feet below slab. The main line is 280 feet to one
cleanout and 220 feet to another cleanout.
Problem: The contractor, while building a new airline
terminal, was instructed to renovate the drain main back
to its original condition and tie the new drain branches
into it. This project had to be completed within a tight
deadline and moving the nearby operations ofces for
a live airport was not feasible.
Circumvention: The contracting company did not
choose a repipe because they understood the amountof time, expense and mess associated with an
excavation.
Solution: In-place pipe lining was the only way to
rehabilitate the underground pipe line without having to
relocate the airline operations ofces, as well as being
the only time-efcient solution. Nu Flows skilled drain
technicians used three existing access points (two
cleanouts and an ejection pit) to clean the underground
main and then pull the Nu Drain structural liner through
it. An internal bladder was inated, pushing the epoxy-
soaked felt liner around the interior of the pipe. After itcured, a new, seamless, protective pipe-within-a-pipe
was created. This innovative process was completed
without any destruction to the building, nor any disruption
to airline operations or workers. The customer was
extremely impressed with the technicians performance
and plans to use Nu Flow in future projects.
Nu Flow was less money, no digging and
dramatically quicker than a repipe.The customer was impressed with our
solution and plans to use Nu Flow in the
near future.
