CIPP in Offroad Area?

CIPP in Offroad Area?

CIPP in Offroad Area?

(OP)
How would a contractor CIPP a sewer line in a hard to access easement? I've seen CIPP work on the street a lot, but we have some easement areas that are rough. I can't believe the contractor could get 1 truck much less several larger trucks down our easement. Is there CIPP equipment available that can be towed or can fit in the back of a 4 x 4?

RE: CIPP in Offroad Area?

It depends on the pipe you want lined, the length of the line. You can always build a short term haul road to get equipment in. Whay kind of soiul in easement? Water table? We have lined pipe in swamps in Maryland.

RE: CIPP in Offroad Area?

In cases where accessibility is an issue, Contractors I've worked with have used something we've always called an "easement kit". It's basically a small lightweight booster unit on wheels. It's only effective up to about 200 feet from where the box truck sits which houses the CIPP liner and resin as hoses have to reach from the main truck to the easement kit, but it has greatly eased the damaging aspect of trying to either build a road to inaccessible manholes or trying to pull the truck through boggy areas with heavy equipment.
