DC Super Flex is the ultimate reinstatement cutter. It offers extreme flexibility in 3- to 6-inch pipes with the ability to make several consecutive 90-degree turns while maintaining precise control.
Dancutter’s 360-degree rotating head is ideal for cutting, milling and grinding pipes and liners, regardless of material or whether the pipe is straight or has bends. The cutter can be operated by just one person who easily sets up, does the work, and quickly moves on to the next task, keeping your job running smoothly.
Also, now available for Dancutter are VR Goggles and a Robotic Grabber attachment.

Leaking service laterals and lateral connections are a source of significant groundwater infiltration into our collection systems – as much as 60 percent or more of overflow, according to the EPA.
Injection grouts such as Avanti’s AV-100 Chemical Grout are a cost-effective, long-term solution to eliminating infiltration in structurally sound laterals and lateral connections.
Using remote packer equipment that extends up the lateral, AV-100 is forced under pressure through defects into the surrounding soil, forming a grout/soil matrix that is impermeable to infiltration.
After CIPP lining, injection grouts are often used to stop infiltration that occurs at the lateral reinstatement point.
CUES

CUES LAMP II (Lateral and Mainline Probe II) is an inspection tool that protects buried assets and the surrounding environment, by identifying infiltration and inflow, potential cross-bores, pipe defects, and structural conditions in lateral services and mainlines.
The self-propelled, robust LAMP is designed to perform pan-and-tilt inspections of mainline sewer pipes, with simultaneous viewing of the adjacent lateral services. It can inspect with or against the flow, for increased production and reduced set-ups.
An integrated wireless controller is available to operate all launcher, platform, camera, and reel operations from the front, rear, or within 50 feet line of sight.

MaxLight, an LED UV-cure unit and non-styrenated resin system, optimizes CIPP operations by dramatically increasing work efficiency. Curing does not begin until resin is exposed to the finely calibrated UV light, allowing pre-impregnated liner assembly at the shop or onsite, and eliminating pot life concerns, to enable several installations in a single day.
Choose from an array of liners and CalTubes, specific to existing pipe conditions and configurations.
Single-component resins, uniquely formulated for UV-light curing, offer: no mixing, no styrene, ultra-low odor, no waste, superior mechanical properties, rapid cure times, excellent wet-out capability and compliance with all applicable ASTM standards.

The Micro S Light+ small-diameter cutter is ideal for both horizontal and vertical work in pipe 3- to 9-inch diameter. It has excellent flexibility, navigating smoothly through elbows in lined 4-inch pipe.
Joystick control offers three axes of motion: 400-degree rotation, 90-degree swivel and 4-inch axial feed. A self-cleaning camera provides operators with live footage via a 10-inch touch screen. The sealed head is pressurized with nitrogen and carries an IP54 rating, accepts various cutting bits, and detaches for easy transport.
The compact system travels on a wheeled cart that weighs a total of 104 pounds.
