Vortex Technology Group receives international certification for CIPP curing monitoring system
(UI) – Vortex Technology Group LLC, a division of Vortex Companies, a provider of advanced trenchless water and sewer technologies and infrastructure renewal services, has received WRc Approved certification for its VeriCure Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) curing monitoring system used to improve and verify cure completeness of the widely popular pipe rehabilitation method.
"VeriCure has proven to be an extremely effective means of monitoring CIPP cure completeness and improving installation quality in the U.S.," said Mike Vellano, CEO of Vortex Companies. "Receipt of WRc approval is a critical step for its expansion in the UK and other countries, where WRc sets the benchmark for quality."
VeriCure CMS is a patented system, built around fiber optic Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology, and is designed to improve the CIPP curing process. VeriCure's optical fiber cable is fed the invert of the host pipe (or attached to the crown in pipes 1,500 mm greater). Once the CIPP liner has been installed and inflated inside the host pipe, the curing process is initiated. With the optical fiber cable connected to the CMS control unit, the VeriCure software continuously records the temperature profile along the length of the curing lining. It is compatible with circular pipes with internal diameters between 150mm and 2,000mm.
Vortex, along with its partners, also offers manhole and pipe rehabilitation materials, polymeric coatings and resins, sewer robot systems and high-speed drain cleaning tools and allows customers the opportunity to select the best fit for their system.
