Pipe Inspection and Televising
The key to cost-effective, long-term pipe rehabilitation solutions is the ability to identify damaged, leaking infractions using proper pipe inspection and televising procedures.
Our experienced and trained technicians are capable of assessing, identifying and ultimately recommending the best trenchless pipe inspection solution for your pipe repair needs.
Geopolymer Pipe Lining
The Quadex™ Lining System offers the industry’s most advanced lining system technology and geopolymer mortar. We are able to restore large diameter pipes, culverts and tunnels of all types and shapes.
Our crews are rigorously trained and qualified to work in confined entry environments to successfully restore severely deteriorated storm and wastewater infrastructure, with a design life of 50 years or more.
Manhole Rehabilitation
Our manhole rehabilitation crews are trained to effectively and efficiently restore your manholes back to like new condition. Our state of the art equipment and advanced repair materials will restore your manholes designed service life for up to 50 more years.
Depending on your manhole conditions, we will specify the right product to meet the need, from corrosion protection to full structural renewal.
Cured in Place Pipe Lining
Our innovative, cured in place pipe (CIPP lining) system creates a long-term, structural pipe inside the existing host pipe system without digging or destruction to buildings or landscape.
The pipe is rehabilitated to a better-than- new condition, with an increased flow rate, eliminated weakened joints, sealed cracks and eradicating the chance of groundwater pollution.
Sprayed In Place Pipe
Our Quadex™ trenchless services division offers a complete selection of sprayed-in-place pipe lining equipment, material and training enabling contractors to reline a variety of pipes.
Quadex™ SIPP is a proven spray in place pipe lining system that utilizes polymeric materials and is applied via a patent-pending spray nozzle for accurate and uniform applications.
Pipe Bursting and Slip Lining
Pipe bursting is particularly effective when damaged pipe systems run beneath buildings or other structures that cannot be disturbed and when systems are in need of upsizing.
Vortex Turnkey and our Ricor Services division specialize in trenchless pipe replacement by using its advanced pipe bursting and slip lining methods. We have over 40 years experience in pipe bursting and slip lining and have utilized these solutions on all types and diameters of water, sewer and storm pipe.
Bypass, Pumping and Dewatering
From the most minor to the worst imaginable situation, our Vortex Turnkey division can handle all of your turnkey bypass, pumping and dewatering needs. We design, build and operate bypass pumping systems.
We will also minimize surface disruption and traffic control throughout the operation. Finally, once the project is completed, we will restore the affected areas to their original condition.
Sectional Repairs, Pipe Joints, & End Seals
Through our regional service companies, VacVision Environmental and Rico Services, we have decades of point repair experience. An integral part of this solution is the Pipe Robo Tec System.
Pipe-Robo-Tec internal pipe seals are the perfect solution to address longitudinal cracking, offset joints and other isolated pipe defects. Pipe Robo Tec provides a permanent, internal, seal within an existing pipe system at points where leakage, root intrusion and structural integrity is in question.
Coatings Manufacturing
Our Stag Technologies division designs, formulates and manufactures high performance polymeric materials and coatings for the water, wastewater, industrial and commercial marketplace.
Stag’s ability to produce third-party tested polymeric materials solutions allows us to offer industry proven products and custom designed polymeric coatings much more efficiently. Stag also offers custom formulation and contract manufacturing services for the commercial and private industries.
