Pittsburgh Suburb Uses CIPP to Address I/I Issues

The Municipality of Penn Hills, Pa., and The Gateway Engineers Inc. recently addressed heavy inflow-and infiltration (I/I) issues of its sanitary sewer system using a ultra violet cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining system. The installer of the Reline America system was Abel Recon of Mountville, Pa., a certified installer of the patented system for Pennsylvania, and northeast Maryland, Delaware, and southern New Jersey.

The project, one of many for the municipality, was aimed at eliminating the heavy infiltration in the sanitary sewer system. The Blue-Tek lining system was a perfect fit for the issues present onsite.
