AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, PRECISION APPLIED, STRUCTURAL LINING SYSTEM

IPR Leads the Market with EcoCast™, the first “Green” Geopolymer

Historically, the industry has focused on four critical performance physicalcharacteristics for the successful application of a geopolymer liner.

4Excellent Bond Strength 4High Compressive Strength4Low Permeability 4Efficient Constructability

IPR EcoCast, along with its development partner, GeoTree Technologies adds afifth crucial element ... it is sustainable. Together we have introduced aproprietary system that combines the most advanced application equipmentwith a custom formulated geopolymer, specifically designed for consistentapplication and long-term performance.

EcoCast will successfully restore your concrete, brick, or corrugated metalstorm and sewer pipes. It is particularly effective for large diameter pipesections starting at 36”.

THE ECOCAST SYSTEM IS A TECHNOLOGICALBREAKTHROUGH IN THE TRADITIONAL PIPELINEREHABILITATION MARKET

EcoCast was developed with the sole purpose of meeting the market’s demandfor a precision applied, environmentally friendly pipe lining solution.

The end result is the first-ever geopolymer coating centrifugally cast through astate-of-the-art, precision controlled spray application apparatus. Unliketraditional, manual “pullthrough” applications, the EcoCast system’s drive trainallows the product to be consistently applied to preset coating thickness witheach pass. Some of the other features include:

4A true structural repair4Ability to work with a small footprint (10’-30’)4Can be used to restore round, non-round and pipes showing some ovality4Can rehabilitate any structure, decking or headwall4Can rehabilitate pipes that have separated4Extremely cost-effective for short segment repairs4Antimicrobial solution can be specified for added corrosion protection

Airports

Typical Applications

DOT projects: highways andbridge overpasses

Manholes and wet wells

Concrete, sanitary and storm sewers

Corrugated metal pipe is theperfect candidate for EcoCast

IPR EcoCastʼs geopolymer lining is perfect

for pipe segment rehabilitation typically found in

and around airports, road and highway overpasses,

and municipal sewer applications.

THE ECOCAST ADVANTAGE

4EcoCast liners form a crystalline structure for higher resistance to acids andgreater surface durability

4Cures quickly providing shortened by-pass time and allows flows to bereestablished much quicker than Portland cement based mortars.

4EcoCast is exceptionally resistant to environmental factors like heat and cold andallows for extended application environments through batch temperaturecontrols

4EcoCast is a high strength fiber reinforced geopolymer specially designed forease of use with mechanical pumping, spraying and application

4EcoCast is designed to stick and adhere to virtually any surface; unliketraditional cement mortars, the geopolymer is capable of bonding and buildingto great thicknesses

4An engineered, 100% fully manufactured product with no added non-contributingfillers

4Qualifies for LEED credits and is BPA free

ECOCAST LINER MATERIAL PROPERTIESFeaturing GeoTree Technologies/GeoSpray Materials

GeoSpray™ is a microfiber reinforced ultra dense geopolymer specially designedfor its outstanding physical properties. Unlike traditional materials, GeoSpray is aGeopolymer matrix that is a “chemically fused” ceramic.

Geopolymers work by having the covalently bound atoms within polymers at thesurface of the nano-particles displaced by alkali molecules such that theirmolecular structure is disrupted creating future attachment sites. The attachmentand cross-linking of molecules creates a monolithic structure that results insuperior material properties.

Pipe Bursting - IPR was a pioneer in pipe bursting, which is the only trenchless pipe rehabilitation technique that can increase thediameter of the existing pipe

CIPP - CIPP is a trenchless repair process that involves “impregnating” a polyester felt lining with resin, inverting the liner and thenpulling the coated liner through the existing pipe

EcoCast Liner Technology - EcoCast will cost-effectively and structurally repair large diameter sanitary storm sewer piping, and anystructure or deck surface
