Nu Flow Helps Preserve Historic Buildings in Balboa Park


Nu Drain is the best pipe repair solution for buildings with historical significance, because this process is applied in-situ, which means no destruction, no business closure and no disruption. Within the past decade, Nu Flow has been chosen to complete several projects on different historic structures inside San Diegos famous Balboa Park because our technology preserves the buildings structural and historical integrities. Project: Rehabilitate the aged roof drain systems while the buildings were being reroofed. Customer: The city of San Diego. Site: The Casa Del Prado and Casa Del Prado Theatre were originally built for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition and were reconstructed in 1971. These buildings feature beautiful Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and are located in San Diegos Balboa Park, a world-renown urban cultural park that is one of the oldest parks in the country. System: The entire roof drain systems for both buildings. These cast iron pipes have 3", 4", 5" and 6" diameters. Problem: The customer wanted both historical buildings roofs renovated, but the roofers werent able to rehabilitate the roofs drainage systems. So the customer looked for a company who could not only provide an effective solution, but could also work congruently along-side the roofers.

Nu Flows non-invasive drain lining technology prevented the excavation of two historic buildings within San Diegos Balboa Park.

Circumvention: If the customer chose a traditional repipe instead of Nu Flows unique, no-destruction solution, the roofers would be forced to stall their work and the aged storm drain system would have to be torn out of the building and replaced. A repipe would result in business closures, damage to the historical buildings and deferment of the roofers renovations. Solution: Nu Flow technicians worked in unison with the roofers and were able to complete the pipe lining project without disrupting the roofers or buildings employees. Nu Drain was used to line both historical buildings storm drain systems in-situ. This patented, Pull-in-Place technology created a new, seamless pipe within the host pipe, greatly extending the pipe systems useful life. Nu Flows innovative solutions are ideal for historical buildings that cannot undergo excavations for renovations. Preserve your propertys structure and historical integrity with Nu Flows patented no-dig technologies.
