Trenchless Installation with VCP Jacking Pipe
For some challenges, trenchless installation with VCP-J (Vitrified Clay Jacking Pipe) may actually be the economical option. Sometimes trenchless installation is specified to minimize disruption of a community’s important commercial corridor. No matter the reasons for considering it in your community, find out more about the pipe, the process, the methods that are viable in your area and what makes a successful installation.
Operations & Maintenance Services
The job isn’t done when the project is accepted. For VCP installations (expected to serve a community for well-over 100-years) it can be said it is actually just the beginning. Why is VCP acknowledged as the best option for long-term maintenance? What long-term benefits can maintenance departments realize when VCP is installed?
CCTV Inspection of Vitrified Clay Pipe
Avoid unnecessary dig-ups! Learn how CCTV Inspection of VCP differs from inspection of PVC. CCTV Inspection of pipelines continues to gain acceptance as a means of investigating the condition of all types of buried assets. The improving quality of video images makes this an important tool for both acceptance testing and inspection of pipelines that have been in service for several years. Understanding the differences between pipe materials, their construction and joints is critically important for assessing pipeline conditions.
