Nu Drain Used to Rehabilitate Underground Clay Pipe

A Nu Flow South Africa licensee used the Nu Drain system as an alternative to a destructive, expensive and intrusive repipe. The customer and residents of a posh apartment building benefited from Nu Flows innovative pipe lining solution. Project: Rehabilitate an underground sewer main in-place using Nu Drain. Site: A luxurious, 8-story apartment building called Montreux Flats, located on Queen Victoria Street in Cape Town, South Africa. System: An earthenware sewer main that is 110mm-wide (4"wide). The pipe line is located beneath a concrete slab that is more than a meter thick. Problem: The main sewer pipe running from the building into the municipal connection had continuous blockages. The customer wanted to rehabilitate the failing pipe line but did not want any disruption to the residents. Circumvention: A traditional repipe of the pipe would take weeks of messy and noisy work, in addition to inconveniencing residents entering and leaving the property.

The Nu Drain system permitted this licensee to provide a convenient, cost-effective solution for the customer.

Solution: Water Damage Services, a Nu Flow South Africa licensee, relined the sewer pipe with the innovative Nu Drain system. Using existing access points, this Pull-in-Place technology was used to install a structural liner without having to chop through concrete slab. The end result is a new pipe-within-a-pipe that will prevent future failures, such as blockages. The job took a fraction of the time that a repipe would have taken and there wasnt any disruption to the residents.
