What is Cured In Place Pipe Testing (CIPP) Testing at Element?

CIPP testing validates the integrity and compliance of trenchless pipeline rehabilitation installations. At Element, we provide third-party laboratory testing of CIPP materials and installations to verify they meet site specifications, engineering requirements, and environmental standards. Since ground conditions, ambient installation conditions, and crew skills can affect cure cycle success, our independent verification ensures your rehabilitated pipelines perform as designed.

Your Challenges, Our Solutions

Complex regulatory compliance

Element's ISO 17025 accredited testing ensures your CIPP installations meet all applicable standards and specifications, providing documented proof of compliance for stakeholders and regulators.

Detecting potential hazards

Our comprehensive testing protocols identify potential hazards like sewage, water, or fuel leaks before they compromise surrounding areas. We help protect both infrastructure and communities through thorough validation of containment integrity.

Disruptive and Costly Excavation

Traditional assessment methods can be invasive and expensive. Our trenchless rehabilitation testing methodologies validate installation quality without requiring extensive excavation or disruption to existing structures, eliminating damage to surface infrastructure while maintaining underground assessment accuracy.

Inconsistent Installation Quality

Third-party verification of materials and installations ensures consistent performance and reliability, accounting for variables like ground conditions and ambient installation factors that can affect cure cycle success.
