Nu Flows innovative Nu Drain system was used to rehabilitate two vertical stacks encased in concrete without causing any destruction or any disruption to residents.
Problem: Age caused a build-up of lime scale along the interior of the pipes. The pipes run vertically inside a concrete wall that runs as an exterior wall in the residential units, making them virtually inaccessible and irreplaceable. Solution: Nu Flows innovative technology was the ideal solution for this challenging project. Nu Flow Monacos skilled technicians installed the patented Nu Drain technology to rehabilitate these vertical drain lines in-place. First, the technicians cleaned the lime scale from the drain stacks using Nu Flows proprietary cutting tools. Then, while wearing safety harnesses, the technicians launched the structural liner through the access points on the buildings roof, down through the access points in the basement. The structural liner cured to form a new, seamless, pipe within a pipe. This protective liner will prevent future scale build-up, breaches and other common failures. Residents and their homes were not disrupted. As all types of commercial and residential buildings suffer from problems associated with aged pipe systems, Nu Flow is spreading its nondestructive, inexpensive and eco-friendly solutions across the world.
