Specializing in SIPP, CIPP, and PVC
Total Trenchless Pipe Rehabilitation Solutions
Unlike competitors who specialize in a single construction method, HIGHCOATIC offers comprehensive SIPP, CIPP, and PVC lining solutions. This enables us to select the optimal method tailored to your site conditions, rather than forcing a specific method onto the site.
What is Trenchless Pipe Total Solution?
It refers to a single company providing solutions for various trenchless pipe rehabilitation methods (SIPP, CIPP, PVC lining), enabling them to select and apply the most suitable approach based on specific site conditions.
In the pipe rehabilitation market, most contractors only possess a single method. This means they are forced to apply their single method, regardless of the site conditions. HIGHCOATIC takes the opposite approach. We first assess the pipe diameter, curvature, surrounding environment, and the media being transported, then select the most suitable method for those specific conditions.
Furthermore, since we offer solutions based on the same polyurea material, extending beyond piping to include roof waterproofing and floor coating, you can manage an entire building or plant from a single source.

What's the difference between SIPP, CIPP, and PVC lining?
CIPP is suitable for large diameter pipes, employing a method of inserting and curing a liner. SIPP is suitable for small diameter pipes, involving direct spraying onto the inner wall. PVC lining creates a protective layer by adhering a sheet to the interior.
| Category | CIPP | SIPP | PVC |
|---|---|---|---|
| English original | Cured-In-Place Pipe | Spray-In-Place Pipe | PVC Sheet Lining |
| Korean Text | Cured-In-Place Pipe Lining | Spray-Applied Pipe Lining | PVC Sheet Lining |
| Working Principle | After inserting a resin-impregnated liner (tube) into the pipe, it is cured internally, forming a new pipe within the existing one. | Lining material is directly sprayed onto the inner wall of the pipe, forming a seamless protective and structural layer. HIGHCOATIC performs this application using the 360 Ringtech Robotics System, remotely controlled from the exterior. | A PVC sheet is adhered to the interior of pipes and structures to form a protective layer. |
| Suitable Pipe Diameter | Relatively large pipe | Relatively small pipes | Structure suitable for internal sheet adhesion |
| Main Application Sites | Long, straight sections of large-diameter sewer and main pipelines | Unmanned lining for diameters ranging from 4 inches (small bore) up to a maximum of 3 meters. | For the interior of concrete pipes and water tanks requiring chemical-resistant protection |
| Points to review | As this method involves pushing in the liner, application conditions for sections with numerous bends and branches are reviewed separately. | The spray application method allows for installation regardless of pipe shape, and the absence of joints minimizes the risk of leakage. | Pre-surface treatment is crucial as the condition of the sheet joints and existing surface determines performance. |

What's the Difference Between Lining and Coating?
Coating is the application of a thin layer to protect a surface, while lining involves reinforcing it with a thicker protective barrier.
| Category | Coating | Lining |
|---|---|---|
| Coating Thickness | Generally 1 to 2 mm | 19 mm ~ 51 mm |
| Purpose | Surface Waterproofing and Corrosion Prevention | Waterproofing and corrosion prevention, in addition to structural reinforcement |
| Project Results | Protective coating formation on existing pipe surfaces | Effectively creates a new pipeline by forming a structural lining inside the existing pipe. |
| HIGHCOATIC Application | Industrial Facility Corrosion Prevention, Flooring & Waterproofing Systems | Trenchless Pipe Rehabilitation and Restoration (Patent Pending) |
Why Comprehensive Method Solutions are Crucial
The optimal method varies for each site. If only one method is available, the site must be adapted to that method. However, by offering a comprehensive range of methods, we can tailor the method to the specific site.
Single Method Contractor
- For projects where their available methods are unsuitable, they either work around the conditions or abandon the project.
- Projects combining piping, waterproofing, and flooring typically require separate contractors.
- When multiple companies are involved, assigning responsibility for defects becomes challenging.
HIGHCOATIC Total Solution
- We first assess pipe diameter, bends, and fluid conditions, then select the appropriate method.
- We provide services ranging from pipe rehabilitation to roof waterproofing and floor coating, all from a single source.
- A single entity is responsible for the entire process, from method selection to construction and after-sales management.
Three Variables That Change the Method Based on Field Conditions
Pipe Diameter and Shape
Different methods are advantageous for large and small pipes. For pipes with numerous bends and branches, a spray application method, which can be applied regardless of the pipe's shape, is more advantageous than liner insertion.
Fluid Type and Environment
The required chemical resistance performance and certification requirements vary depending on whether the application involves potable water, high-concentration chemicals, or seawater, brine, or wastewater.
Water Shut-off & Operational Control Hours
The trenchless method eliminates the need for excavation, removing the necessity for surrounding area control. Its high-pressure spray and ultra-fast curing system enable rapid application and immediate use.
From underground piping to roofs and floors
HIGHCOATIC's scope of application extends to buried pipelines, pipelines running through building walls and facilities, roof waterproofing, and floor coatings.
Underground Piping
We provide trenchless rehabilitation for buried pipelines, such as water and sewage systems. This approach eliminates the need for surrounding traffic control during installation, preventing the excavation and disruption of roads and sites.

Four Business Fields Comprising Our Total Solution
Frequently Asked Questions about Total Solutions
How do SIPP, CIPP, and PVC lining differ?
CIPP involves inserting a resin-impregnated liner into the pipe and curing it, making it suitable for relatively large pipes. SIPP involves directly spraying material onto the inner wall of the pipe, making it suitable for relatively small pipes. PVC lining creates a protective layer by adhering a PVC sheet to the interior. HIGHCOATIC supports all three methods.
Why is it important to offer a comprehensive range of rehabilitation methods?
The optimal rehabilitation method varies depending on pipe diameter, curvature, environmental conditions, and the type of fluid being transported. While a contractor with only one method is forced to adapt the site to their available technique, a company offering a comprehensive range of methods can match the optimal solution to the specific site conditions.
What is the difference between lining and coating?
Coating involves thinly covering a surface to provide waterproofing and corrosion prevention. Lining, conversely, is the concept of reinforcing with a thicker protective layer. HIGHCOATIC's pipe lining is not a typical 1-2 mm coating; rather, it is applied with a thickness of 19 mm to 51 mm, forming a structural component inside the pipe.
What pipe diameters can be rehabilitated?
We can robotically line pipes ranging from a small 4-inch diameter up to a maximum of 3 meters. The 360 Ringtech Robotics System allows for remote-controlled installation from the outside, eliminating the need for personnel to enter the pipe directly.
Does the trenchless method eliminate the need for road excavation?
Yes. Trenchless rehabilitation eliminates the need for excavation for pipe replacement, thereby minimizing disruption to the surrounding area during installation. This method offers superior social, economic, and time efficiency compared to conventional replacement approaches.
How far does the Total Solution extend beyond piping?
We apply our solutions to underground pipes, building walls, and facility pipes, as well as roof and exterior waterproofing and floor coatings. We can provide comprehensive solutions, from pipe rehabilitation to building systems, all from a single source.
