The use of surveillance technology and trenchless underground survey systems has been there in Ireland for the last 3 decades. But newer innovations of CCTVs and GPR technologies have allowed high-quality audio-visual imaging and cross-section imaging respectively. This has pushed the edge for underground infrastructure management to have a broader scope of environmental remediation.   Underground Pollution Control has become a pivotal cause for the Irish Government to protect the environment and also the health of urban people. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the new 2021 Code of Practice to be in effect from the 7th of June 2021 which sets new parameters for site assessment and underground pollution survey for wastewater management. The National Inspection Plan sets new guidelines for monitoring and assessment of wastewater, which heavily relies on GPR and CCTV Surveys .    Background of Wastewater Management in Ireland   Fundamentall...

What does it mean to reline a pipe? And when do you need to do it? Relining is a method of patch repairing minor breaks or cracks inside a pipe, referred to as Structural Damage that may occur inside moderately aged pipes or due to sudden flooding after a storm. Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining processes with the use of Ultraviolet Curing and GRP liners are widely accepted as a safer and less chaotic alternative to full-scale pipe replacement by excavating the ground. Most Irish civil engineers and providers of pipe repair in Dublin , Cork and other big cities use this process. How Does Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining Work   The idea is to seal the entire internal canal of the pipeline with a resilient and strong liner, which acts as a second pipe within a pipe. GRP liners qualify in this criteria quintessentially, but polyester is also used. The lining material is soaked in a solution of epoxy and resin and given some time for permeation. Once this process is done, the ...

Pipelines are largely exposed to hazardous environments - be it city drainage systems or the pipelines in factories like pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, agriculture. Root ingress, pressure, chemical corrosion, thermal stress   - there are so many threats to pipeline integrity.   The focal objective of Pipeline Integrity Management (PIM) is to monitor pipelines, ensure all the components are running fine, and identify any threat or damage to any location, to take prompt steps to repair and reinstate the structure.   In Ireland, the No-Dig Technologies have been used for the last 30years. Now, new innovations of machines and software have come into the market, offering higher precision and efficiency.   The Environmental Protection Agency Ireland takes the onus of setting the standards for Requirements for Underground Pipeline Testing at Industrial and Waste Licensed Sites. And there are several safety compliance guidelines in place that help the industrie...
