Building on its established expertise in the field of 'No-Dig' drain repair solutions, Dyno-Rod announces the launch of in2, a superior technique for replacing structurally impaired drains.
As leader of the drain maintenance market for over 40 years, the company is renowned for its ability to provide an answer for every drainage problem and has developed many innovative solutions for both clearing simple blockages and repairing or installing new drainage systems without excavation.
Dyno-Rod has again proved to be at the forefront of drain technology with the launch of in2.
The company's new 'no-dig' technology provides major cost, time and labour saving benefits.

Warning on drainage and biosecurity
Dyno-Rod has reported a surge in calls from businesses worried about risks of similar leaks and uncertain of their legal liabilities.
This major launch builds on this experience and represents a major technology breakthrough in drain replacement processes.
With the new in2 system, Dyno-Rod has combined innovative pipe reforming with a drain replacement process that uses the latest technology in plastic pipe manufacturing.
Requiring no excavation, the system involves installing a durable, factory-produced pipe within a void created by breaking out the existing damaged pipework with a special re-forming tool.
In a simple and straightforward process, in2 installs pipes via manhole to manhole, avoiding the expensive surface disturbance on driveways or paths which can be associated with other replacement methods.
Dyno-Rod not only developed the technology for manhole to manhole, but also developed specialist equipment for access via single manhole.
Now the most complicated drain replacements can be carried out in confined spaces.
in2 is expected to soon have Water Research Council approval and the method, pipe and installation equipment are all covered by new patents.
Typical applications include re-rounding and replacing pitch fibre pipes, repairing displaced joints, bridging across gaps in broken pipes and repairing pipes destabilised by circumferential or longitudinal cracks.
The installation process involves two primary stages.
Firstly the damaged pipe is reformed to create a perfect void and any intrusions due to cracking or ingress are removed.
in2 pipe is manufactured in 500 mm lengths, allowing it to fit easily within the confined space of a manhole.
A unique feature of the pipe is its moulded thread, which ensures a significantly tighter seal when each section is screwed together than alternative products that use extruded plastic with a machined thread.
The in2 pipe, which is available in 100 mm and 150 mm pipe diameter sizes, is winched through behind the special in2 re-forming tooling, screwed into place within the manhole and sealed without the need for hazardous resins or on-site chemicals.
Indeed, because in2 uses strong, manufactured pipe to replace existing drains, the process is safer, more practical and more reliable than conventional cured-in-place epoxy lining processes which require the use of hazardous polyester resins which contain styrene.
This method also requires strict precautionary health and safety processes to prevent the risk of polluting the environment.
Furthermore, in2 can usually be installed in drains with significant deformation, giving it an advantage over traditional cured-in-place liners.
The smooth internal finish of the in2 pipe makes for excellent flow characteristics and provides high levels of chemical resistance.
The discreet, factory-produced pipes offer a service life of more than 50 years, making the system very cost-effective.
Installation is easy, free from the disruption associated with excavation, so installation costs can be significantly lower than other forms of drain replacement.
Manhole-to-manhole drain replacement can typically be effected in half a day.
Dyno-Rod believe this new technology will change the face of pipe replacement forever.
