Glanville Trenchless
At Glanville Trenchless, we believe trenchless solutions are more than just a service—they represent innovation and excellence in drainage and sewer rehabilitation and repair.
Leveraging our extensive experience and deep expertise, we effectively manage a wide range of trenchless (also known as 'no dig') projects, from small-scale repairs to large infrastructure developments, serving all types of clients throughout the South West region including domestic and commercial. Our commitment to sustainable practices ensures that we maintain the integrity of wastewater networks, even in challenging and remote locations.
"No-dig" techniques involve repairing drains, pipes, and sewers without the traditional approach of digging up and replacing the entire structure. Instead, a new pipe is installed within the existing one, avoiding extensive excavation.
This approach is versatile and can be applied to various situations, from residential repairs to large-scale pipes and culverts. Thus, it provides a more cost-effective solution by reducing disruption and downtime, shortening the time spent on-site, and eliminating the need for expensive surface restoration, such as repaving tarmac or replacing paving slabs.
Opting for trenchless or "no dig" solutions in drainage and sewer repairs provides a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional open excavation methods. These techniques are particularly beneficial in the South West, where terrain can be remote and difficult to access. Trenchless technology minimises surface disruption, significantly reducing the impact on traffic, businesses, and daily activities. This method not only preserves the existing infrastructure but also enhances project efficiency, making it ideal for areas where access and environmental sensitivity are paramount.
We have cultivated strong relationships with leading no-dig technology providers worldwide to ensure we utilise the best equipment available for trenchless solutions. Our trusted suppliers, including Bluelight Lining and RSM Lining Supplies, collaborate closely with us to deliver cutting-edge UV light curing technology. This advanced equipment significantly reduces curing times compared to traditional methods, allowing us to offer faster, more efficient services to our clients. By partnering with these industry leaders, we stay at the forefront of innovation in the trenchless technology sector, providing top-quality solutions that meet the diverse needs of our projects.
Using UV technology for pipelining and patching offers significant advantages. In this method, an LED light head is passed through a resin-impregnated material that has been inverted into the damaged section of the pipe. The LED lights then cure the resin, effectively creating a new pipe within the existing one.
One of the major benefits is the substantial reduction in CO2 emissions, achieving savings of between 90% and 99% compared to traditional heat curing systems. Additionally, the newly lined pipes have a minimum life expectancy of 50 years, ensuring a long-lasting and durable solution.
Our Expertise and Approach
Our team of skilled professionals excels in assessing each project to determine the most suitable approach, always aiming to minimise disruption and uphold safety standards. We conduct thorough pre-work surveys to choose the best solutions, prioritising trenchless methods wherever possible. This focus on less invasive techniques ensures sustainability and keeps environmental and societal disruption to a minimum.
Through partnerships with industry experts and continuous investment in top-of-the-line equipment, we offer cutting-edge trenchless technology solutions. Our commitment to rigorous training ensures our teams are equipped with the latest skills and knowledge, delivering optimal results for our clients.
Sewer Rehabilitation Services
Trenchless technology encompasses a variety of methods for the installation, replacement, or rehabilitation of underground infrastructure with minimal surface disturbance.
Our main services include:
Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining
CIPP is a versatile solution involving a resin-saturated felt tube that is inverted or pulled into the damaged pipe. The tube cures in place, forming a tight-fitting, corrosion-resistant, and durable new pipe. This method can be customised with different grades, thicknesses, and resin types to address various structural issues, offering both full-length and patch liners.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting is an efficient method for replacing buried pipelines without the need for extensive excavation. By using launching and receiving pits, a bursting head is pulled through the existing pipeline, breaking it apart and simultaneously pulling in the new pipe. This method is also effective for upsizing the pipeline, depending on ground conditions.
Resin Patch Repair
For localised damage, resin patch repair provides a quick and reliable fix. This method involves placing a resin patch over the damaged section of the pipe, which is then cured in place. The process restores the pipe's functionality without the need for complete replacement, making it a cost-effective and minimally invasive solution.
Manhole Chamber Sealing
Manhole chambers can deteriorate over time due to a range of factors including age, weathering, and environmental exposure. Therefore it is essential that they remain properly sealed and refurbished to maintain their structural integrity, prevent water infiltration, and ensure the safety and proper functioning of the utility systems they access which can include sewage systems, stormwater drains, water supply, and telecommunications.
At Glanville Trenchless, we offer leak-tight, chemical-resistant solutions including refurbishing manholes and chambers specialising in leak sealing, water-stop injection systems, concrete repair systems, and protective coatings to ensure the highest quality and durability.
