Nuflow Sumoline is Nuflow’s strongest Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) relining system, specifically engineered for load-bearing pipe repairs where structural integrity is paramount.
With cutting-edge fibre technology and epoxy resins, Sumoline provides a durable, fit-for-purpose, load-bearing relining solution for medium to large-bore stormwater and sewer pipes. It can also be applied for demanding infrastructure like road and rail systems, box culverts, and manholes.
Sumoline can prevent and address blocked drains effectively. It can also fix a damaged pipe without the need for extensive excavation. This advanced trenchless technology minimises disruption, delivering a highly durable pipe solution without the need for digging or site disturbance. Sumoline can efficiently repair a leaking pipe with minimal disruption.
What is Pipe Relining?
Pipe relining is a revolutionary trenchless pipe repair method that involves placing a liner, such as Nuflow Sumoline, within an existing pipe and curing it to form a new, seamless pipe.
This innovative process uses environmentally friendly, scientifically tested epoxy resin technology to create a durable and long-lasting solution for damaged or broken pipes. By avoiding the need for extensive excavation, pipe relining offers a minimally invasive way to restore the integrity of your plumbing system.
Benefits of Pipe Relining
The benefits of pipe relining are numerous and significant. One of the primary advantages is the minimal external interruption it causes. Unlike traditional pipe replacement methods that require digging and extensive site disruption, pipe relining technology allows for repairs with little to no excavation.
This reduces the time and cost associated with the repair and minimises the environmental impact. Additionally, pipe relining is a cost-effective solution that extends the lifespan of your pipes, providing a quick and efficient repair process that ensures long-term reliability.
Key Features of Nuflow Sumoline

Effective Restoration of Vent Systems: Ensures efficient performance and longevity of vent systems without the need for replacements.
-
Increased Flow Capacity: The smooth epoxy lining enhances flow, improving the pipe’s efficiency.
-
Servicing Vertical Drain Stacks: Provides a reliable solution for vertical drain stacks, enhancing their durability and performance.
-
Exceptional Physical Strength: Achieves up to 8,000 MPa in flexural modulus with a wall thickness as low as 8mm.
-
Benefits of Relined Pipe: Eliminates the need for extensive excavation by using a flexible material that strengthens the existing pipe structure, making it a more affordable and less invasive option for homeowners dealing with drain issues.
Where Can Nuflow Sumoline Be Used?
Nuflow Sumoline’s load-bearing strength and versatility make it suitable for a range of applications in infrastructure:
- Stormwater and Sewer Pipes: Reinforces medium to large-bore stormwater and sewer pipes, providing reliable protection and longevity.
- Road and Rail Infrastructure: Ideal for relining pipes beneath heavy-duty transport systems, supporting high load-bearing needs.
- Box Culverts: Strengthens culverts and other drainage systems to withstand environmental and structural stress.
- Manholes: Applies a durable, corrosion-resistant lining to manholes, maintaining their integrity and minimising maintenance.
How Is Nuflow Sumoline Installed?
- Pipe Inspection: A CCTV camera inspection is conducted to identify the areas requiring reinforcement and assess the best repair approach. This method of repairing pipes is cost-effective and convenient, as it uses existing access points, avoiding the disruptive processes of trenching and wall demolition typically associated with traditional pipe replacement methods.
- Cleaning and Preparation: The pipe is thoroughly cleaned using high-pressure hydro-jetting and mechanical abrasion to prepare for optimal bonding. This preparation ensures that the pipe relining work is carried out effectively, providing a strong bond and long-lasting results.
- Liner Installation: The liner is pulled into place, ensuring even coverage and alignment with the pipe’s interior.
- Curing Process: The liner is then cured, forming a solid, load-bearing pipe within the existing infrastructure, providing long-lasting structural reinforcement.
- Final Inspection: A final CCTV inspection confirms the installation’s success and durability.
