In Seattle, during a routine water conservation maintenance test for the city’s public parks and facilities, the Seattle Parks Department discovered water loss from the South West Seattle Pool. This 30+ year old, Olympic size pool water loss seemed to becoming from its drain and recycling system. Seattle Parks Department video inspected the drain system and found a crack in a 8” PVC pipe, that was 15 foot deep beneath the pools concrete deck. This posed a problem; digging up pipe would be costly and time consuming not to mention the community was already upset the pool was not in service. Excavating would only add to the revenue lost from the closing of the pool. After several inspections with contractors only offer excavation methods the Superintendent of SPD research the web. Next, the company Insta-Pipe, a trenchless contractor that installs cured-in-place-pipe lining visited the pool and watched the video inspection showing the crack in the drain pipe. The Seattle Parks Department faces lit up when Insta-Pipe told them that the liner being installed to reline the drain and would fix this leaky drain pipe. The Seattle Parks Department approved of the installation and Insta-Pipe ordered a custom length 6×8 transition flex liner from Perma-Liner™ Industries,LLC. Insta-Pipe has been a Certified Installer for Perma-Liner for six years and over the years now. This custom liner would allow to be inverted and with ease line through three 8” quick turn 90 degree fittings. After the liner was installed it was cured overnight to ensure proper lateral reinstatements.
