Olympia Village Drain Relining
ARD were called out to Olympia Village, where our CCTV survey discovered a seriously cracked drain. This drain was 40m long and located 7.5m deep, and was cracked near the delivery gate entrance. To replace the drain would have meant excavation of the whole area which would have caused immense disruption to the daily operation of Olympia Village, taken over two weeks, and cost approximately £120,000. By using our expertise to reline the drain, ARD saved time, created virtually no disruption, and saved approximately £100,000!

This picture shows our portable 1,000,000 BTU boiler.On this project it it is being used for our cold cure lining, bringing it to the correct temperature to set the liner off at 60 degrees, giving a stronger chemical bond.

Feeding in the LinerOur engineer is in the drain system feeding in our inversion bag to carry out a cold cure in the liner.

InvertingEngineers are allowing water to run into the calabration hose so that we can invert the liner into the drain. This method is called "inverting". It allows the circulation hose to flow in freely and ensures that the liner is boiled at the correct temperatures. You can see pictures of our boiler trailer on site.
