IPT and APS join to supply pull-in-place system
American Pipelining Supplies and Internal Pipe Technologies have joined to have IPT supply APS and all its users with a full-branded pull-in-place pipe lining system. The pull-in-place process allows for renewal of under-slab and lateral lines without excavation, and is suitable for 1 1/2-inch-diameter pipe and larger sanitary pipes. The liners and epoxy resins will be manufactured by IPT in Abilene, Texas, and will be branded with APS.
“Our partnership with Internal Pipe Technologies will allow American Pipelining Supplies to have a full range of lining options for our clients,” says Jake Saltzman, CEO of APS. Inversion lining is our specialty, and pull-in-place is theirs. By joining forces, we can provide all of our clients with every option they could need for small-diameter lining inside and outside buildings and homes.”
