Case Study: McBreen Group’s Innovative Trenchless Solution for a Live Runway Pipeline

The Challenge:

The McBreen Group was tasked with a complex pipeline rehabilitation project beneath a live air traffic runway. The pipeline, severely compromised with displacements, cracks, and collapses, required a solution that could accommodate a diameter transition from 900mm to 750mm without disrupting runway operations.

The Solution:

McBreen Group’s innovative trenchless approach involved the installation of a 95-meter-long UV-cured CIPP liner. This liner was carefully winched into position, inflated, and cured using UV light to ensure a durable bond with the existing pipe.

Key Benefits:

  • Minimal Disruption: The trenchless method avoided disruptions to surrounding infrastructure, ensuring the runway remained operational throughout the project.
  • Efficiency: The project was completed in a timely manner, minimizing downtime and reducing costs.
  • Durability: The UV-cured CIPP liner provided a long-lasting and robust solution to the pipeline’s structural issues.
  • Precision: McBreen Group’s expertise in trenchless technology and advanced equipment ensured a precise and effective installation.

The Outcome:

The McBreen Group’s successful implementation of this trenchless solution demonstrated their ability to overcome complex pipeline challenges in demanding environments. The project showcased their commitment to innovative solutions, efficiency, and minimal disruption.
