The Nu Drain structural lining job at a South African Mosque is the second project in a short period of time completed by Nu Flow South Afri ca. Customer and Site: King Fahd Islamic Centre, a Mosque in Houghton, Gauteng Province, South Africa. System: 110mm PVC drain pipes containing multiple 90 degree bends for two bathrooms, a trough where Muslim’s wash their feet as part of a ritual and four connecting mains equalling approximately 90 feet. Each of these pipes runs from the second oor through a wall column and under a beautifully tiled passage. Situation: Masangu Plumbing was called in to x the leaking drain pipes at the Mosque, as well as additional plumbing problems. Masangu Plumbing had learned of Nu Flow’s trenchless pipe rehabilitation technology and decided to call SA Leak Detection to rehabilitate the pipes. Circumvention: A pipe replacement was not an option due to the damage that would be inicted on the building, such as breaking open the columns and tiled oor. Solution: SA Leak Detection Distributors used the Nu Drain system from Nu Flow to pull a structural linerinto place by using existing access points. The access point to the foot wash basin was a small 50mm outlet. A fter a liner is pulled into place, the bladder is inated and left to “cure,” meaning the epoxy hardens against the existing pipe wall. Once hardened, the bladder is deated and removed, leaving behind a new pipe within the existing pipe.
