CIPP Miller Pipeline Corporation's MPC ToughTube™ is a cured-in-place pipe which is generically known in the marketplace as CIPP. While CIPP is the most widely used rehabilitation technology for relining pipelines in the world today, it does not mean that other technologies such as Miller's EX Method are not equally effective in providing a semi-structural liner designed to reduce or eliminate infiltration and inflow in deteriorated pipelines. Nonetheless, due to the wide range of pipe sizes and wall thicknesses, CIPP enjoys an excellent reputation and is widely accepted. ToughTube™ is constructed of the highest quality and this quality is maintained all along the process from tube manufacturing to final installation. The tube itself is an engineered, nonwoven polyester needle-punch material which is specifically designed for excellent bonding with chemical resistant resin systems. The needle-punch felt is coated with a clear geo-membrane that allows for the resin to be encapsulated within the felt layers to ensure non-contamination of the resin. Many different resin selections are available including polyesters, vinylesters and epoxies, all of which are formulated by the most experienced manufacturers in the world. ToughTube™ is installed in accordance with ASTM F-1216 and all other relevant standards applicable to the installation of CIPP in wastewater and storm water systems. The lining process is accomplished by either inverting or pulling the tube into the host pipe made of virtually any material. Almost always, ToughTube™ is installed from one manhole to another so the process is completely trenchless which significantly reduces surface congestion and is generally less expensive compared to typical "open cut" methods. Each installation method has its specific application depending on a variety of circumstances. Once the resin impregnated tube has been fully installed, it is cured using circulation hot water or steam. During the cure process, the tube is held tightly against the host pipe by internal pressure. After the tube has cured into a monolithic structure, the laterals are robotically reopened. The finished product molds to the host pipe and leakage at pipe joints and cracks are eliminated. Due to the smooth interior surface of the liner, flow in the line is often enhanced. Today, many alternatives are available for sewer rehabilitation. Selecting the best alternative and selecting the best professional contractor - with the knowledge of system conditions and the ability to self perform in every major aspect of the project - will have a lot to do with the final results. That is why Miller Pipeline's customers have come to rely on our experienced personnel, having an admirable list of core capabilities, to provide appropriate recommendations and deliver the best products and technologies available in the marketplace today because there is no "silver bullet" in the rehabilitation matrix of available technologies.
