Manage episode 486472174 series 3573737
In the world of plumbing and infrastructure maintenance, innovations continue to reshape traditional practices. One of the most effective breakthroughs in recent years is the use of continuous lining (or "manga continua") for Reparación de tuberías —a trenchless technology that eliminates the need for disruptive construction. Entuba, a specialist company based in Spain, is at the forefront of this method, offering efficient and long-lasting solutions for both residential and commercial piping systems.

What is Continuous Lining?
Continuous lining, also known as Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) technology, is a method used to rehabilitate existing pipelines without the need to excavate. This process involves inserting a flexible, resin-impregnated liner into the damaged pipe. Once inside, the liner is inflated to fit the contours of the pipe and then cured, forming a new, solid pipe within the old structure.
This new pipe is seamless, corrosion-resistant, and structurally sound, extending the life of the existing piping network by several decades. Importantly, this method avoids the hassle and expense of tearing up floors, walls, or outdoor landscaping.
Entuba’s Four-Step Repair Process
Entuba’s continuous lining solution is delivered through a carefully refined four-step process:
- Inspection and Diagnosis
Using state-of-the-art CCTV equipment, Entuba begins with a complete internal inspection of the pipe. This allows technicians to identify cracks, blockages, corrosion, or leaks without intrusive methods. - Cleaning
Pipes are thoroughly cleaned using high-pressure water jets to remove any debris, grease, or obstructions. This step is crucial to ensure the lining adheres correctly to the internal surface of the pipe. - Lining and Curing
A custom liner, soaked in resin, is inserted into the cleaned pipe. Once positioned, it is inflated using air or water, pressing it against the inner walls. The resin is then cured using hot water, steam, or UV light to harden the material and form a new pipe inside the old one. - Final Inspection
After curing, a second camera inspection is carried out to confirm the success of the repair and ensure a smooth, defect-free finish.
