During the year, the city of Somerville, New Jersey applied the new 3M Scotchkote Spray In Place Pipe 269 Coating to a portion of its drinking water pipeline, as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Aging Water Infrastructure Research Program. The 3M coating is a polyurea-based liner that resurfaces existing pipes to minimize water loss throughout the system. The EPA’s scientific and engineering research program evaluates promising innovative technologies, such as 3M’s Scotchkote Spray In Place Pipe (SIPP) Coating, that can reduce costs, and improve the effectiveness of operation, maintenance and renewal of aging drinking water distribution systems. 3M SIPP 269 Coating offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to traditional water-pipe rehabilitation methods, such as total replacement and cement-mortar lining, that disrupt water flow to homes and businesses.
