Water Pipeline Rehabilitation

Manufactured In-Place Composite Pipe
Proven Principles; Modern Methods and Materials

Summary

     At SippTech, we are redefining the future of trenchless infrastructure rehabilitation through innovation in materials, automation, and performance-driven design. Our advanced Spray-In-Place Pipe (SIPP) technology leverages a composite system enriched with structural foam and high-strength carbon fiber to deliver a new class of pipe rehabilitation solutions. It’s a new era for pressure pipe lining, so it needed a new name. We call it Manufactured In-Place Composite Pipe (MICP)! 


     Traditional SIPP methods have proven effective for restoring aging pipelines with minimal surface disruption. However, to meet the demands of increasingly complex environments—such as large-diameter, high-pressure, or structurally compromised pipelines—we’ve engineered a next-generation approach. By integrating lightweight, energy-absorbing foam with the superior tensile strength of carbon fiber, SippTech creates hybrid liners that perform more like engineered structures than conventional coatings. 


     This enriched SIPP system achieves Class IV structural standards and delivers enhanced strength, reduced curing time, and improved long-term performance. Our proprietary robotic application ensures precision, consistency, and repeatability across each installation—backed by rigorous mechanical testing and real-world deployment in critical water and wastewater systems. 


     SippTech's mission is to extend the life of our nation’s buried infrastructure by pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in trenchless rehabilitation. Through our innovations in composite materials and automated application, we’re not just protecting pipelines—we’re building high-performance systems designed to last for generations. 

Innovative Pipeline Rehabilitation

SippTech is revolutionizing pipe rehabilitation with Manufactured In-Place Composite Pipe (MICP). This proprietary process keeps the new pipe independent from the host pipe.


MICP is the only robotically installed composite lining system to meet the AWWA Class IV structural/Close Fit Lining (CFL) classification for large diameter pressure pipes ranging from 48” to 54” with 250+ PSI working pressure.

THE PROBLEM

The Problem:


Much of the National and Global Infrastructure is more than 50 Years Old.


Pipeline Replacement is Highly Disruptive and Expensive.


Most Piping Systems have Little to No Redundancy.

Not only is much of the nation's water infrastructure more than 50 years old, pipeline replacement is disruptive to service and surface stakeholders.

THE FACTS


The American Water Works Association (AWWA) projects $1 trillion of investment needed over the next 25 years to rehabilitate the municipal water systems.


The 2018 EPA Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and Assessment Report states that $312.6 billion needs to be invested in distribution and transmission infrastructure over the next 20 years.


In the United States there is a water main break every 2 minutes and an estimated 6 billion gallons of treated water lost each day.

COMMON REHABILITATION OPTIONS

COMMON REHABILITATION OPTIONS


Remove and Replace

The Problem: This process is highly disruptive and expensive, especially at larger pipe diameters.

Remove and Replace

The Problem: This process is highly disruptive and expensive.

Slip Lining

The Problem: This process greatly reduces hydraulic capacity, and structural solutions are inflexible and unable to navigate even minor pipe deflections.
