Trenchless Technology

Blockbusters Environmental has been delivering advanced CIPP Trenchless technology since 2014, providing fast, eco-friendly, and cost-effective drain and sewer rehabilitation across Northern Ireland, Ireland, and the UK. Our no-dig solutions, including trenchless patch repair, robotic cutting, manhole rehabilitation, and UV lining, minimise disruption, reduce project timescales, and extend the lifespan of pipelines. Using cutting-edge techniques like UV light-cured relining, we ensure durable, precise, and environmentally responsible repairs without the need for excavation, keeping infrastructure operational and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Trenchless Technology

UV Lining

Our UV light-cured relining offers a fast, durable, and trenchless solution for restoring damaged drains and sewers with minimal disruption. Using advanced UV curing technology, we achieve rapid, uniform liner installation that reinforces structural integrity and ensures long-lasting performance. This efficient method eliminates excavation, reduces project time, and delivers a seamless rehabilitation solution to the highest quality standards.

Localised Patch Repairs

Localised patch repairs offer a fast and cost-effective way to fix damaged sections of pipework without the need to replace the entire line. Using resin-impregnated patches, we can target cracks, fractures, and leaks with pinpoint accuracy. Once applied and cured, the repair creates a strong, watertight seal that restores pipe integrity, minimises disruption, and extends the system’s lifespan.

Pipe Rerounding

Pipe rerounding is a specialist trenchless technique used to restore deformed or collapsed pipes back to their original shape. By inserting and inflating a hydraulic packer, the pipe is gently pressed back into round, making it suitable for lining or further rehabilitation. This cost-effective process minimises disruption, extends the life of existing infrastructure, and ensures a stable base for long-term pipe repairs.

Robotic Cutting

Our state-of-the-art robotic cutting technology provides a fast, precise solution for removing lateral connections and internal obstructions in small-diameter pipes. Designed to cut through a wide range of materials, including PVC, cast iron, concrete, and even intrusive tree roots, our robotic cutters streamline maintenance and rehabilitation work. This advanced method ensures accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption, restoring full functionality to your drainage system.

Manhole Rehabilitation

Using advanced CIPP technology, we restore ageing manholes with a durable, long-term solution that eliminates the need for confined space entry, reducing costs and disruption. After thorough inspection and high-pressure cleaning, our specialists install a CIPP liner and perform strict quality checks to ensure a watertight seal and lasting protection against water infiltration.

Lateral TopHat Repairs

Lateral TopHat repairs are designed to permanently seal the junction between the main sewer and lateral connections. Using a resin-impregnated, pre-moulded liner shaped like a ‘top hat,’ we create a watertight seal that prevents infiltration, exfiltration, and root intrusion at the connection point. This trenchless method strengthens the pipe network, improves flow efficiency, and extends service life,

all without excavation

How UV Pipe Lining Works

Our advanced UV lining technology creates a seamless, protective barrier inside existing pipes without the need for excavation. A resin-coated liner is inserted into the pipe, inflated, and cured using ultraviolet (UV) light. This process hardens the liner in place, restoring structural integrity, preventing leaks, and extending the lifespan of the pipeline, all with minimal disruption.
