Relining pipes at Wits University, Central Block Building.
Site:
Wits University, Central Block Building.
Problem:
Wits University was experiencing water damage in the Central Block Building from a 110mm galvanized stormwater down pipe which was corroded and leaking.
Circumvention:
The pipe runs within one of the buildings structural columns. A pipe replacements was simply not an
option for the 92 year old historic building. Wits turned to Nu Flow for a solution.
Solution:
Nu Flow cleaned and descaled the pipe using Nu Flow’s Micro Cutter machine. Once the pipe was clean, Nu Flow relined the pipe using a structural liner thereby creating a “Nu Pipe” within the host pipe.
