Nu Flow BC Rehabilitates Leading Drink Manufacturer Facility

Nu Flow Services of Vancouver had the opportunity to work in one of North Americas leading soft drink manufacturing
facilities in British Columbia. Although there were problems walking into the job, which consisted of large voids of
pipe missing due to corrosion and access in confined spaces, Nu Flow was able to meet the clients deadline and
save them money compared to the cost of shutting down production and replacing.
Customer: A world leading soft drink manufacturer located in Delta
British, Columbia, Canada.
Site: The facility is North Americas second most advanced bottling
plant. Each day the British Columbia based factory bottles popular
soft drinks and other products that are distributed worldwide.
System: 330 feet of 8 trade water lines that run from a drink
production line, to the buildings exterior PH adjustment tank and
back to the city system. The trade water lines are located throughout
production, a storage warehouse and down near the main loading
area where inventory is loaded.
Situation: Two years ago the manufacturer added a new soft drink
line in the facility during a $30 million project. It began to eat away
at the bottom of their cast steel pipes causing sand and rock to
destroy the pump motors in their PH adjustment pit and pollution
to the groundwater table.The customer chose to jet the 8 line in
preparation for Nu Flow and by doing so the entire bottom of a 170
pipe opened up and the sand below washed away. The bottom of
the host pipe was missing large sections for the entire length. In
addition to these already difficult circumstances, the end of each
pipe is located in a confined space that is difficult work around.
Solution: In this case Nu Flow BC technicians showed up on the
job with a schedule that allowed them to work 24 hours per day,
running a double shift to meet the customers two-week deadline.
Nu Flow was able to clean and prepare the pipe with access where
the floor was open midway to allow liners to be installed in both
directions. The careful planning by Nu Flow BC allowed them to
install 3 electrical duct in 10 sections that were slid into the
existing open pipe to allow the push rod access. Nu Flow BC also
used pieces of PVC to add 4 onto the confined pipes allowing
them to pull 25-foot sections of 8 liner into place.

This lining method provides the ability to line multiple 45 and 90 angles, as well as the option of lining specific
sections of pipe without lining the entire length. The Nu Drain System by Nu Flow Technologies allowed Nu Flow BC
to get the job done without causing downtime to the soft drink manufacturing plant. Once complete, a final leak test
and camera inspection is performed and the system is now a smooth, joint less pipe within the existing host pipe.
