CURAFLO® OF BRITISH COLUMBIA COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL WATER INFRASTRUCTURE RESTORATION FOR SUNWEST ESTATES IN SURREY
Proprietary System Proves Faster and Less Costly Than Traditional Repiping Methods
BEACHWOOD, OHIO – CuraFlo® of British Columbia Ltd. (“CuraFlo of British Columbia”), a leading provider of pipe restoration services for multi-tenant buildings and other commercial and institutional structures, has revitalized the water infrastructure system at Sunwest Estates in Surrey, British Columbia with its proprietary epoxy lining system, the CuraFlo Engineered Flow Lining System®.
Located in Surrey, a suburb of Vancouver, Sunwest Estates is a 19-floor, 122-unit condominium complex constructed in 1991 with a plumbing system comprised of copper piping. Over time, multiple pinhole leaks formed in hot and cold water supply lines that run through common areas and residential suites. In evaluating alternatives to combat this problem, the building’s ownership sought a solution that would prevent future leaks and corrosion, ensure optimal water pressure, flow and quality, and combat ever-increasing insurance costs related to deteriorating plumbing systems in multi-tenant buildings. They also sought a solution that could be implemented with minimal disruption to residents.
Sunwest Estates’ owners selected CuraFlo of British Columbia based on the company’s established track record with a variety of multi-family, commercial and institutional installations throughout metropolitan Vancouver, as well as the quality of its epoxy lining process and ease of installation. The process of lining the hot, cold and hot water recirculation pipes began in late 2009 and lasted three months.
“The property’s management team considered several options, but in the end, they appreciated the fact that CuraFlo of British Columbia’s epoxy lining is more cost-effective and much less invasive than traditional repiping methods,” said Randy Christie, Sales and Marketing Manager, CuraFlo of British Columbia.
In addition to a full array of infrastructure rehabilitation services, CuraFlo’s epoxy pipe lining solutions are widely renowned for alleviating problems with deteriorating pipes and plumbing systems. In many instances, this proves a highly effective alternative to pipe replacement. In fact, pipes restored with CuraFlo’s epoxy lining can gain an additional service life of 40-60 years or more.
