We have developed a high-tech epoxy application that has revolutionized the way water, HVAC, waste lines, gas and sewer pipe systems are restored. We are experts in underground and building systems pipe restoration services, PIP/ Structural lining, and spray systems for extremely small pipes. Our state-of-the-art, green building restoration technologies restore pipes from one half inch to 60 inches in diameter and up to 700 feet at a time. Our solutions are extremely efficient, saving time, money, and the aggravation associated with traditional pipe replacement. BELCO is the prudent choice for developers, co-ops boards, engineers and key decision makers. Not only do our solutions help lower costs and safeguard buildings, they save time and significantly reduce or eliminate work stoppage, stressful tenant relations, and relocation.
BELCO / WHY BELCO PIPE RESTORATION BELCO PIPE RESTORATION SOLUTIONS / Robotic spray application belco pipe restoration / IMPORTANT BENEFITS 1. Cost Effective: Replacing pipes is 50% to 75% more expensive than lining them. Lining is a non-invasive process. There is no destruction to buildings or landscape. Reconstruction costs for repiping can be 60% of direct pipe repair costs and epoxy WHO BELCO PIPE RESTORATION IS FOR: High and Low Rise Buildings Office Complexes and Office Towers TIME-PROVEN TECHNOLOGY / UNDERGROUND PIPE RESTORATION With our model 459 Robotic Spray Application system, BELCO offers the most advanced epoxy pipe lining system available anywhere. This technology has been successfully used for hundreds of underground water mains worldwide. BELCO Robotic Spray Application restores: Potable and Non-potable Water Systems lining eliminates the need for reconstruction. Over time, up to 75% of the original flow capacity can be lost as result of corrosion leading to much higher energy bills. Restoring those pipes reduces energy costs. 2. Safe And Durable: Our epoxy spray systems provide a safe and protective barrier between the pipe and the water, which prevents harmful elements from leaching into the water supply. We use a chemical resistant, non-toxic epoxy lining which has (NSF/ ANSI-61) certification that is approved for drinking water. Testing engineers estimate the life expectancy of the epoxy is roughly 50 years. 3. Minimal Downtime: In all cases, epoxy lining takes a fraction of the time of traditional repiping methods. 4. Minimal Disruption and No Occupant Displacement: Belco s pipe restoration process is quick, quiet, noninvasive, and rarely requires displacement of a building s occupants. When needed, temporary bypass water systems are quickly installed to provide uninterrupted water service so that occupants, businesses, and clientele may continue business as usual.

There s a better way. Replacing pipes creates as many problems as it solves: costly building reconstruction, tenant relocation traffic disruption and more. BELCO s time and money saving pipe restoration solutions are superior.
BELCO PIPE RESTORATION SOLUTIONS / Robotic spray application ROBOTIC SPRAY APPLICATION / PROCESS Step 1: Pipe System Diagnosis The internal plumbing system is mapped and we develop a plan to minimize disruption. Access is granted at the top and bottom of vertical systems and in two places for horizontal systems. Next our computerized pipe snake video inspects pipes and digitally records findings. The recordings are reviewed with property management before we begin the restoration process. Step 2: Preparation and Cleaning BELCO installs vacuum hoses at the bottom of risers. Pipes are dried with heated, compressed air. A safe cleaning method is determined based on the amount of corrosion present. All tuberculation is removed using a conical media application head on entire length of pipe. This is required to bring the carbon steel to NACE number 2 near white metal standard of clean for superior adhesion. Step 3: Epoxy Lining Before applying epoxy, the internal pipe surface is heated to the optimal temperature. We apply proprietary plural epoxy with a pressurized and heated umbilical cord system. Precise millimeter applications are taken at various thicknesses as each job requires, with basic standard set at 3 millimeters. Our epoxy is NSFA 61 potable water certified and withstands thermal limits from 34-180 F. After the pipe is lined with epoxy, heatdried air is applied and ensures prompt curing time. Step 4: Testing The pipes are video inspected. Then the system is closed and pressure tested with compressed air. If diligence proves pipe sections that are beyond restoration thresholds, our emergency repair team, staffed by skilled union labor, has a fully equipped mobile repair shop. Epoxy Lining as an Eco-Trend When you repair, rather than replace anything, there is significantly less waste. BELCO s epoxy linings are eco-friendly solutions that create no waste for landfills or for recycling and generate no carbon emissions during manufacturing. Lining prevents toxic heavy metals from leaching into drinking water and prevents leaks and breaks in pipe systems that contribute to water pollution and cause billions of dollars annually in water damage. Builders, co-op boards, and eco-minded developers and owners are increasingly more green oriented. As environmental awareness continues to rise, responsible decision-makers are choosing green options whenever possible.

Compressed Air Systems is cured in place to form a seal inside the pipe. This lining method provides the ability to line multiple 45 and 90 angles, as well as the option of lining specific sections of pipe without lining the entire length. Pipe in Place has saved billions of dollars worldwide. It is trenchless, fast, effective, and long-lasting. No traffic disruptions and risk, no open trenches, and minimal discomfort for communities and businesses. THE PROCESS Vertical and Vent Stacks Whether it s being applied to a fire suppression system, HVAC system or a waterline, the unique characteristics of our epoxy make it possible to line longer lengths of pipe through elbows, tees and unusual system constructs. And of course, there is never the disruption or cost associated with traditional pipe replacement. THE PROCESS Step 1: Pipe System Diagnosis and Cleaning The piping system is inspected for integrity and spot repairs are made as required. Process Pipes Hydronic Systems (Air and Water) Heating and Cooling Lines Fire Suppression Sprinkler Systems Natural Gas and Petroleum Product Lines Step 1: Pipe System Diagnosis and Cleaning First we map the internal plumbing system and camera-inspect drain and sewer lines. A plan is implemented to minimize disruption and afford the most efficient timeline for work completion. The piping system is inspected for integrity and spot repairs are made to excessively worn joints and fittings. Temporary bypass water piping is installed if needed. The system is drained and airdried. After testing for leaks, the pipes are dried with heated, compressed air. A safe abrading agent is blown through the pipes removing rust and corrosion. Compressed air is applied once again to remove fine particles. Step 2: Epoxy Lining Electrical Conduit Collection, Hold and Transfer (CHT) Systems In Maritime Vessels We restore pipes made of: Step 2: Structural Installation Our patented trenchless lining system involves double-entry access to pull an epoxysaturated felt liner with an internal bladder inside host pipe. The bladder is inflated for curing in place and is later removed, leaving a smooth, jointless new pipe inside the Optimal internal pipe surface temperature is created prior to epoxy coating. Conditioned air is then introduced into the pipe to uniformly distribute the epoxy coating throughout the pipe segment. Following the coating application, continuous controlled air flows through the piping to facilitate epoxy curing. Metal Iron Steel host pipe. Step 3: System Reassembly and Final Inspection The liner is trimmed, and re-fitted to connect the lined service to the system. A final leak test and camera inspection confirm structural integrity. Volume and flow tests Step 3: System Reassembly and Final Inspection After the epoxy coating cures, valves and couplings are refitted. A final leak test and inspection confirms lining integrity.
