In the demanding world of military operations, efficiency, and resource management are crucial for mission success. Every aspect of infrastructure plays a role, including pipelines and sewage systems. That’s where in-field pipelining repairs come into play, making a significant impact on military bases and government installations. In this article, we’ll explore how military in-field pipelining repairs save valuable time and resources on the frontlines. 

The Role of US Pipelining in Military Operations

US Pipelining, working closely with the Department of Defense, US Army Corps of Engineers, and other government agencies, has been instrumental in providing trenchless restoration solutions for military bases and government installations across the United States. By leveraging innovative Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining technology, US Pipelining contributes to the efficient functioning of critical pipelines within these installations. 

The Versatility of CIPP Lining System

The US Pipelining CIPP Lining System is exceptionally versatile and can address a wide range of piping needs, including: 

  • Wastewater systems 
  • Sanitary sewers 
  • Storm sewers 
  • Pressure pipes 
  • Potable water pipes 
  • Transmission lines 
  • Force mains 

This flexibility makes the US Pipelining system an ideal choice for military operations, where different types of pipelines are in use. Here’s how it works: 

  • Noninvasive Installation: The CIPP lining system employs noninvasive methods to install a jointless, seamless, and standalone pipe within an existing pipe. This method minimizes disruptions to the surrounding area and infrastructure. 
  • Diameter Range: US Pipelining can restore pipelines ranging from 4 to 120 inches in diameter, making it suitable for various applications within military installations. 
  • Negotiating Bends: The system is capable of navigating through 45- and 90-degree bends, ensuring comprehensive pipeline restoration. 

Recent Military Projects

To understand the real-world impact of in-field pipelining, let’s take a look at some recent military projects handled by US Pipelining: 

Joint Base MDL/McGuire AFB – CIPP Lining Under Airfield Apron 

  • This project involved CIPP lining beneath the airfield apron at Joint Base MDL/McGuire AFB. The seamless installation helped maintain the integrity of critical pipelines without disrupting airfield operations. 

Fort Lesley J. McNair – CIPP Lining Storm Tidal Line 

  • At Fort Lesley J. McNair, US Pipelining successfully implemented CIPP lining for the storm tidal line. This solution ensured efficient stormwater management on the base. 

Joint Base MDL/Lakehurst Naval Air Station – CIPP Rehabilitation Sanitary Sewer System 

  • CIPP rehabilitation was used to address the sanitary sewer system at Joint Base MDL/Lakehurst Naval Air Station. The project improved the functionality of the system, enhancing sanitation on the base. 

NASA/ John Glenn Plum Brook Center – CIPP Class IV Structural Restoration of High-Temperature, High-Pressure Propulsion Line 

  • US Pipelining played a critical role in the structural restoration of a high-temperature, high-pressure propulsion line at NASA’s John Glenn Plum Brook Center. The successful restoration ensured the reliability of essential equipment. 

Fort Rucker – Plumbing Assessment Rucker Barracks 

  • At Fort Rucker, US Pipelining conducted a plumbing assessment at Rucker Barracks. This assessment helped identify and address plumbing issues, contributing to improved infrastructure management. 

In-field pipelining repairs, facilitated by US Pipelining’s CIPP Lining System, are a game-changer for military bases and government installations. By offering a versatile, noninvasive, and efficient solution for pipeline restoration, US Pipelining contributes to streamlined operations, reduced downtime, and optimal resource allocation.
