CIPP - Cure In Place Pipe
It’s over 40 years since the basic Cure In Place Pipe (CIPP) technique was invented by Eric Wood, an agricultural engineer, when he repaired a pipe in a mushroom farm. His next repair was a sewer under Hackney, a district of London, England. The industry which he invented single handed is now one which has simplified the maintenance of pipes and sewers worldwide. It is one of several methods known as ‘trenchless repairs’, although the technique is used above ground as well as below.
