NuFlow Indy was called to investigate the sewer line problems of a large powertrain manufacturing facility in Monticello, Indiana. Our investigation began with a camera inspection to diagnose the pipes’ problems and provide a solution. Here are some details about this manufacturing pipe repair project:

The Problem

450’ of 4-inch and 6-inch cast-iron sewage pipes were failing. These pipes ran directly underneath all of the stationary machinery used to manufacture the powertrain parts in the plant. To replace the pipes, the facility manager would have to authorize weeks of time off for the workers, and downtime for the facility. This would also require expensive disassembly and removal of the machinery to make way for the excavation equipment

The Solution

Using existing access points, we were able to repair all 450’ of pipe using our pull-in-place pipe relining technology while keeping the business fully operational.
