Repair the problem without replacing the whole pipe
Where defects are isolated to a specific section of pipe, Recore’s patch repair solutions provide a targeted trenchless approach to restoring the affected area - minimising excavation, disruption and unnecessary rehabilitation of otherwise serviceable infrastructure.
Patch repairs can address localised defects such as cracks, fractures, infiltration, and damaged joints, helping restore pipe integrity and extend the asset's usable life.
What is a pipe patch repair?
A pipe patch repair, also known as a localised or sectional repair, targets a specific defect within an existing pipeline rather than rehabilitating the full length of the pipe.
The damaged section is first identified and assessed, typically using CCTV inspection. The pipe is then cleaned and prepared before the repair material is positioned over the defect and installed internally. This creates a durable repair where needed, without excavating and replacing the surrounding pipeline.
For assets that remain in good condition overall, a targeted patch repair can provide a practical alternative to full-length relining.
When are patch repairs suitable?
Patch repairs can be an effective solution where damage is confined to one or more localised areas within an otherwise serviceable pipeline.
They may be used to address:
- Cracks and fractures
- Leaking or deteriorated joints
- Localised infiltration or exfiltration
- Root intrusion and associated pipe damage
- Small areas of structural deterioration
- Other isolated defects identified during CCTV inspection
Because the repair is focused only on the affected section, patching can avoid unnecessary work on sections of pipe that remain structurally sound.
