DRAIN REPAIR, EXCAVATION & WATER MAINS
Repairs
to drain pipes are very common; the original drain pipes where
constructed from clay material and are susceptible to damage. Some
pipes are constructed from a material called Pitch Fibre, this tends to
loose its cross sectional strength.
If
a drain is damaged it can normally be repaired via two processes.
1/.
Conventional excavation and drain repairs (see
conventional repair).
2/.
The use of a resin lining system (see
lining system).
Any
conventional excavation will cause some disruption by the very nature
of the work involved and if this is the most suitable repair for your
needs then the experience of the MTM management and workforce will
ensure that your site is kept safe, tidy and the work conducted with
the minimum of inconvenience to yourselves.
A
lining system normally removes the inconvenience caused by open
excavations. If lining is suitable as the preferred method then we can
undertake the works normally in a single day. If suitable pitch fibre
pipes can be lined after a process of re-rounding ( see re-rounding ).
Unlike
the general
drain companies all of the MTM staff are from a civil engineering
background, (see deep
excavation). We understand how to undertake excavation works
and carry
out repairs professionally and on time at a competitive price.
