GROUTING SLEEVE™ 

Structural Repair without stopping service

Before 

After

If during routine inspection damaged pipe is discovered, it can take as little as 20 minutes for an experienced installer to have the damaged sewer repaired using Link-Pipe GROUTING SLEEVE™.

It greatly speeds up the repair process if a few boxes of sleeves are stored on the CCTV truck. 

CCTV, a small compressor and 2 to 3 men can complete such an emergency repair.
