PIMCAST provides waterproofing, sealing, structural reinforcement and corrosion prevention for sanitary and storm sewer culverts. Centrifugally-cast concrete pipe (CCCP) successfully restores severely deteriorated large diameter concrete, brick or corrugated metal pipelines of all shapes, types and conditions, including elliptical and arched pipelines. This technology is designed to rehabilitate pipelines ranging from 30" to 120" in diameter. Prior to installation, pipelines are cleaned and televised to remove all debris, identify any defects and repair infiltrations and voids. During the application process, concrete is centrifugally cast evenly around the interior of the pipe; the application head is retracted using a hydraulic winch set at the properly calculated speed to insure uniform thickness. The application process can be started and stopped as needed without joints or gaps. Upon complete of application, CCCP creates a seamless, high strength, fully structural pipe without digging or significantly reducing capacity.
PIMCAST:
- Utilizes Quadex QM-1s Restore, a single component, high strength cement based, polypropylene fiber reinforced, shrinkage compensated mortar enhanced with a mono crystalline quartz aggregate
- Also utilizes Quadex GeoKrete, a factory blended, fiber reinforced, cementitious-like material enhanced with a mono-crystalline quartz aggregate. GeoKrete is the industry's most advanced geopolymer repair mortar and is sustainable, comprised mostly of recycled materials, reducing the overall carbon footprint
- Concrete can be applied up to 3" in thickness per pass
Benefits:
- Environmentally friendly
- Cost effective
- Minimal disturbance to roadways and general public
- Cures in place within hours for quick return to service
- Long projected life span
- Restores structural integrity of pipelines
- High early and ultimate compressive, flexural and bond strengths
- High resistance to acids
