An emerging leader in Cured-In-Place-Pipe lining (CIPP), and trenchless lining solutions, US Pipelining, LLC., has completed a landmark restoration project at the historic Americus Hotel.
Expected to open in the summer of 2021 as part of the Wyndham Hotel Group’s Trademark Collection, the hotel will be the first of its kind in Pennsylvania. Erected on the site of the city’s first hotel/tavern known as the Northampton ca: 1810. The new and renamed Americus opened in 1927 attracting US Presidents, dignitaries, and visitors from across the country.
“Ours was part of a complete and total top-down restoration of the historical property”, states Jeremy Bowman, President, US Pipelining.
“Our component included the cured-in-place pipe lining and restoration of the plumbing and sanitary system servicing the Americus. Due to the elaborate wood workings, murals, and plaster walls and ceilings, replacing the piping would have been extremely expensive and invasive. Less costly and non-invasive restoration methods such as cured-in-place pipe, allowed us to leave the floors, walls, and ceilings untouched and intact,” said Bowman.
Cured-In-Place Pipe technology (CIPP) is one of several no-dig trenchless rehabilitation methods used to noninvasively repair existing pipelines. CIPP is a joint-less, seamless, pipe-within-a-pipe with the capability to structurally rehabilitate pipes ranging in diameter from 4″–120″. With a design life of 50 years CIPP is one of the most widely used rehabilitation methods and has application in water, sewer, gas, and chemical pipelines.
“Cured-In-Place pipe lining has become a widely used and accepted technology globally as a low-cost, non-invasive alternative to traditional dig and replace methods, “said Bowman. “Industry can either close down operations, interrupt traffic flow, excavate/open walls and ceilings to replace failing infrastructure, or option for a non-invasive rehabilitation process which rehabilitates the failed pipe from the inside out without the need for opening walls or excavation.”
Since entering the pipe rehabilitation industry 25 years ago, US Pipelining has gained recognition for their ability to offer highly specialized rehabilitation solutions to a vast array of clients including global fortune 500 companies, high-rise residential and commercial buildings, and government agencies.
“US Pipelining is one of a handful of companies globally who provide CIPP and other noninvasive restoration technologies for pipes ranging in diameter from 4 inches to 120 inches,” states Bowman. “There are very few conditions we have not seen or reconciled.”
