CIPP vs CCTV: Which is Right for You?
July 19, 2023
When it comes to sewer and pipeline maintenance, businesses often face the choice between CIPP (Cured-In-Place-Pipe) and CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) inspections. But which is right for you?
Murgreen Environmental Co. is a Sanitary Services and Consulting firm based in California, with a team of 20 employees from diverse backgrounds that are capable of providing quality engineering services such as condition assessment, smoke testing, flow monitoring, dye testing, pressure testing, CCTV inspections and characterization of your underground and above-ground pipelines. Our company specializes in asset management and assists agencies in devising a strategic approach for rehabilitating and replacing assets based on their condition, risk and useful life.
CIPP is a trenchless technology used to rehabilitate existing pipelines without excavation. CIPP works by inserting a felt or fiberglass liner that is saturated with thermosetting resin into the host pipe. The liner is then inflated, forcing the resin to cure against the existing pipe walls and form a jointless, monolithic pipe within the host pipe. CIPP rehabilitation can be used to repair cracks, offsets, corrosion and other defects in the existing pipe.
CCTV inspections are used to detect problems in sewer and water lines. This type of inspection is done with a camera mounted on a crawler. The camera is inserted into the sewer line and can travel for hundreds of feet at a time. The camera captures images of the inside of the pipe and records any issues that may be present. The images are recorded onto a computer and can be viewed and analyzed to determine the condition of the pipe.
Depending on your needs, either CIPP or CCTV may be the right choice for you. CIPP is a great option if you need to rehabilitate an existing pipeline without excavation, whereas CCTV is good if you want to inspect a sewer line for issues.
