No Dig, No Problem
Pipe LiningWhen main lines leak or corrode, they can damage above ground surfaces, cause pollution, and start severe flooding in treatment or industrial facilities. Hill Services uses various trenchless technologies to combat these and other problems caused by Inflow and Infiltration (I&I), including Cured in Place Piping (CIPP), pull-in-place installation, and point repair. Hill Services uses the most technologically advanced methods of Cured in Place Piping (CIPP), including Inversion, Pull in Place and Point Repair for drain lines ranging from 3 inches to 72 inches. Hill Services installs CIPP liners that are able to withstand heat, caustics and high pressure, commonly found in industrial settings. |

No Dig, No Problem
Pressure Pipe LiningHill Services rehabilitates buried pipelines (such as sewer, water, or natural gas pipes) without the need for a traditional open cut excavation. Launching and receiving pits replace the trench needed by conventional excavation methods. Hill Services rehabilitates all different types of pressure pipelines from 4 inches to 20 inches with deployments of up to 5,000 foot pulls for oil, gas, water, and process lines. |
Equipment: 5 Key Pieces

MethodologyAn expanding device called an expander head, which may be either pneumatic or hydraulic, is introduced into the defective pipeline through a launching pit. As it travels through the pipeline toward the receiving pit it breaks the pipe into many small pieces, pushing the pieces into the surrounding soil. New pipe is attached to the back of the expander head, replacing the line immediately.

Trenchless Rehabilitation
Cured In Place Piping (CIPP)Using CIPP continuous inversion, we have the ability to line pipelines with diameters ranging from 2 inches to 48 inches, in most cases in less than a day. This “true” inversion method allows us to negotiate 22s, 45s, and 90s with ease. Our liner material allows our installers to line through transitions without changing its structural properties. |

How It WorksA resin-saturated felt tube made of polyester is inverted or pulled into a damaged pipe. It is usually done from the upstream access point (manhole or excavation). Little to no digging is involved in this trenchless process, making for a more environmentally friendly method than traditional dig-and-replace pipe repair methods. The liner can be inverted using water or air pressure. The pressure required for inversion can be generated by using pressure vessels. Hot water, ambient cured or steam is used to cure the resin and form a tight-fitting, joint-less and corrosion-resistant replacement within a pipe. Service laterals are restored internally with robotically controlled cutting devices. The rehabilitated pipe is then inspected by closed-circuit television (CCTV). |

Surface Restoration
Epoxy CoatingLeaking tanks, vessels, or Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) can be problematic, affecting production and adding cost. By applying 100% solid epoxy coatings to these surfaces, Hill Services can restore them, prolonging their life expectancy and getting your company back to full production faster. What Are the Benefits?

Manhole
Manhole RehabOur manhole rehabilitation specialists can solve your manhole Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) problems, restoring your structures to better-than-new condition in less time than it would take to replace them, and for a fraction of the cost. EpoxyOur technicians use a wide range of 100% solids, zero-VOC epoxies to meet your exact requirements. These ultra high-build products can be sprayed or troweled-on to achieve a 1/4 inch (250 mil or greater) wet-film thickness on vertical or overhang surfaces without sagging. They are modifiable to meet specific flexural modulus and strength, cure fast even under water, and provide corrosion resistance where high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, hydrocarbons and an array of other chemicals are present. |

Inspection & Reporting
Video InspectionHill Services Pipeline Video Inspection Equipment with High definition, pan & tilt capabilities along with a digital video, log observations, generated reports and directly linked to asset-management software. With our Pipeline video inspection equipment, Hill Services can video inspect drain lines from 2 inches to 72 inches in diameter. We cover Nuclear, Oil & Gas and heavy industrial and manufacturing sectors. Our video inspection CCTV Rovers/Cameras can be used in drain pipes ranging from 2 to 72 inches, lengths up to 5,000 linear feet with 45 and 90-degree bends, and to deepest pipelines of 50 feet. Our video inspection reports help determine the overall condition of the existing host pipe, identify (I&I) inflow & infiltration/premature failures, diameter size, length & pipe type. Hill Services will provide a complete written video inspection report with pipeline mapping & video record documentation provided upon completion of the project. |
