ments will now help CIPP rehabilitation contractors access
projects in some of the country’s most restrictive markets.
HydraLiner is a complete CIPP system for lateral pipe reha-
bilitation with inversion drums, wet out tables, and trailers.
The NSF International and ICC-ES certifications specifically
endorse the safety and quality of HydraLiner consumables.
These include liners for rehabilitation of pipes 2 to 12 inches
in diameter and a variety of epoxy resins for different job
requirements and working conditions.
The HydraLiner product line had already been certified
to ASTM F 1216 standards. Such independent, third-party
certifications are referenced by federal, state, and municipal
regulatory agencies during the approval process prescribing
which products may be used in projects under a particular
agency’s jurisdiction.
The endorsements also reassure project stakeholders of the
safety, durability, and quality of the products. “These certi-
fications are additional reassurance from two independent,
highly regarded testing agencies that only the best materials
are being used in their projects,” said Matt Gabrielse, certifi-
cation manager for the HydraLiner product line.
The HydraLiner system can be used in a variety of CIPP
applications including sanitary sewers, storm sewers, process
piping, electrical conduits, and ventilation systems. The
system repairs cracked or broken pipes, eliminates future root
intrusion, bridges fractures and gaps, and stops both infiltra-
tion and exfiltration. The system is effective with most pipe
materials including clay, cast iron, PVC, ABS, and concrete.
The system will even rehabilitate pipes whose lines contain
bends up to 90 degrees and transition from one pipe diameter
to another.
The Value of Southwire’s
Intelligent Grid Systems
S
outhwire Energy Division’s new line of Intelligent
Grid solutions combines innovations in monitoring
and analytics to provide wide area awareness of grid
assets. Solutions include line and substation monitoring,
which collects, communicates, and processes data from mul-
tiple sensors to improve reliability, capacity, and generation
dispatch.
“We developed Southwire’s Intelligent Grid solutions to al-
low utility providers to constantly monitor systems from vir-
tually anywhere by sending real-time data directly to them,”
said Mark Lancaster, PE, Southwire Director Intelligent Grid
and Energy Solutions. “This allows utilities to know what’s
happening on the system at all times to ensure reliability and
optimize asset utilization.”
To do this, the Southwire Intelligent Grid solutions col-
lect and aggregate data from sensors and weather nodes
and transmit that
information to the
utility via a cellular
or utility-specific
communication
network. The data
is processed using
Southwire algo-
rithms and inter-
faced into the utility
data and control
systems. Monitoring
options include sag,
temperature, and
rating for conduc-
tors, degradation of
conductor connec-
tors, and likelihood
of flashover due to
contamination for
insulators and sub-
station equipment
