Lock It InWith Spiral Wound LinerTM

Forget about whether to push or pull a liner into place: use Spiral Wound LinerTM, which is produced in the diameter needed for the repair at the exact length and no waste. Many feet of pipe are produced from one reel of material, so the cost of shipping is less than factory-manufactured pipe. Plus, the lining is accomplished within the existing right-of-way and with no coupling worry because the liner is one continuous section.

The Spiral Wound LinerTM system is based upon a special extruded plastic profile. This profile has a smooth inside and a T-ribbed outer surface with interlocking edges. When fed through the winding machine, these edges interlock at two positions, and simultaneously, an injected sealant is introduced that also acts as a friction lubricant during the engagement of the locking mechanisms. While the general “T” configuration remains the same, profiles vary in thickness and weight to produce liners that meet performance criteria and diameters. Each profile is made from Rigid Polyvinyl Chloride (RPVC) and, when used with proven sealants and cements, a liner of the highest integrity is ensured.

It was so quick with really low impacts on anything…. and saved a lot of money without having to cut the road.

Backed by Exhaustive Quality Testing & Evaluation

  • Constructed from PVC. When used with approved sealants and cements, the liner is projected for 80-year performance.
  • Various profile dimensions. We can meet exact performance criteria and diameter.
  • Due to the friction coefficient of PVC, there is generally no loss of hydraulic flow ability of rehabilitated pipe.
  • Manufactured on-site to the exact length needed.  No waste and less shipping charges than factory manufactured pipe.
  • Less disruption of traffic vs. a complete replacement.
  • Meets ASTM F1741 for installation of Machine Spiral Wound PVC Liner and ASTM F1697 specification for PVC liner.

Why Spiral Wound LinerTM?

IT STARTS WITH THE PELLET.

Our custom-blended compound is sourced from Teknor Apex™, a company founded right here in the USA with global ISO certification. This ensures consistency, pellet after pellet, and aids in flawless extrusion. We are proud to work with Midwest-based, 9001 Quality Management Certified TigerHawk Profiles™ to create the PVC profiles used in our product. Why is this important?

  • Abbott Award FinalistAmerican Made
  • Advanced Equipment and Experienced Personnel lead to Impeccable Quality
  • Meets ASTM F1741 for standard practice for installation of machine spiral wound PVC liner pipe and ASTM F1697 specification for PVC profile strip for machine spiral wound liner pipe rehabilitation of existing sewers and conduit.

Louisa County was dealing with bridge approaches that were settling. They had worked with Grout Scouts in the past and knew that they would be able to meet their timeline and requirements.

“We had a smooth experience and were very happy with the timeliness, coordination and the pricing!”

Larry Roehl, County Engineer
Louisa County

“Richard is good to work with, he knows what to do and gets it done!”

Rich Brumm, County Engineer
Mitchell County

Cherokee County had issues of voids in embankments and washouts. Having worked with Grout Scouts in the past they knew who to call.

“The process was flawless. They know what to do to get the job done, easy! I was surprised by how easy it was and their amount of knowledge.”

Brandon Billings, Engineer
Cherokee County

Johnson County had pulled apart and rusted culverts in places like dead end roads and areas with heavy traffic. The Road Supervisor, Kevin Braddock, has been with the county for 21 years. His predecessor worked with Grout Scouts so he continued to as well.

“The process is easy, I keep a list on file and give it to Rich when he is in the area. I am always happy with their professionalism, communication and plan of attack. I would definitely recommend them and just did while talking with a city. I like that there is not much impact or delay in traffic. We have even had residents express thanks for the lack of delay.”

Johnson County

Separated pipes under paved roads lead to Howard County working with Grout Scouts.

“The experience is very smooth, easy and able to change. They let us know how we can save money and materials, very accommodating. I was surprised to see the owner (Richard) do his share of work. He is the first to crawl into a small pipe! I definitely recommend them.”

Andrew Lensing, Field Assistant Inspector
Howard County

Sun Valley Lake had decaying and rusting culverts that needed lined so they gave Grout Scouts a call.

“We searched around for awhile and ended up finding Grout Scouts.The good part is not only that Richard and crew do a good job but they keep us informed the whole way. I have already recommended them to other county engineers.”

Jon Vennick, Project Manager
Sun Valley Lake

A utility trenched a pipe and it need to be repaired. Grout Scouts patched and then stabilized the pipe. He heard about Grout Scouts through the Engineer’s conference and other area counties who used Grout Scout Services prior.

“The process is good. I like that I can call Richard and talk about issues. Grout Scouts stands out because they do more culvert repair. I would recommend them.”

Ryan Brennan, Assistant Engineer
Blackhawk County

Grout Scouts has done mostly mudjacking, pipe lining and tying off for Delaware County.

“The only thing is Grout Scouts needs to make more time to come by. What stands out is that Grout Scouts is willing to do a lot of crawling in where most won’t. I would recommend Grout Scouts.”

Anthony T. Bardgett, P.E.
Delaware County

Des Moines County was having issues with culverts that were bulging. They know Richard is easy to work with. “We were very pleased! Grout Scouts did a great job and the process was very easy for us.”

Mark
Des Moines County

Floyd County needed culvert lining and some bridge approaches jacked up. He couldn’t remember for sure how he first heard about Grout Scouts, but he thought it could have been at the Engineer’s Conference.

“The only thing is that they are very busy. I can give Richard a list of 6 things around the county. They will all get done, and it will be a good job. It will be left clean when done. I would recommend them. The only thing I would add is they need to update their brochure. They do way more than is in the brochure.”

Brian Pickar, Assistant Engineer
Floyd County

How It Works

Spiral Wound LinerTM profile Is extruded onto spools containing as much as 9,000 feet of product. The profile is 5.5 inches wide with heights of ½”; ¾” and 1”. The on-site manufacturing consists of the profile exiting the spool and into a hydraulic winding machine that has a profile-to-pipe transformation cage attached, which produces a liner slightly smaller than the host pipe. The SWL profile-to-liner transformation machine (from a fixed position at an access point) has drive rollers that pull the profile from the spool and around the cage. The winder’s press roller then presses the interlocking edges together; it is at this roller where the sealant is injected.

The continual feeding of the profile through the profile-to-pipe transformation cage results in a continuous spiral wound pipe that traverses through the deteriorated host pipe until it reaches the desired termination point. Subsequently, the annular space is filled with an appropriate grout to fill voids, eliminate infiltration, and gain an additional structural component by bonding the liner to the host pipe.
