Nu Flow Mexico Rehabilitates Drain Lines At Historical University

IVANCOT is a Mexican construction company that subcontracted Nu Flow Mexico to rehabilitate drain lines at the
University of Mexico. The building is historical therefore a lot of extra work would have had to been done to install
new pipes. Nu Flow was able to complete the job without any hassle for the customer.
Customer: IVANCOT is a construction company located just
outside of Mexico City. They work on residential, industrial,
corporate, sports and educational buildings. IVANCOT was
contracted to work at the National Autonomous University
of Mexico (UNAM). UNAM was founded in 1551 and is the
largest university in Mexico.
Site: The building was constructed in 1547 and is home to
the University of Mexico. This historical building located in
the heart of Mexico City is now on its way to becoming a
museum.
System: The system is made up of concrete rain and sanitary
lines 6 in diameter. They are connected to the municipal
system and have had fractures and several repairs with PVC.
Situation: Repairs that were previously done to the lines
were causing problems with the discharge system of the
building. Since it is a historical site, there is a lot of work
involved if they wanted to dig and install new pipes. It would
have cost a lot of money and an archeologist would have
had to supervise all of the work that was being done. An
archeologist is necessary because this part of Mexico is a
historical place where Aztecs built pyramids 500 years ago,
so if the ground was to be dug someone may potentially find
museum material. They needed a solution that would save
time, money and avoid disruption.

It is very rewarding to help with

technology to complete rehabilitation
jobs on historical places like this old
building.

Solution: IVANCOT subcontracted Nu Flow Mexico to

- Eduardo Nuez, Owner RAESA
rehabilitate the drain lines. Nu Flow used a sewer cleaning
(Nu Flow Mexico)
truck to remove all the waste and rocks inside the pipe. After
that they inspected the pipe to identify any leaks, fractures
and repairs with different materials. Once the pipe was
completely clean they used Nu Drain technology to line 66feet of the pipes. One of the access points was 32-feet deep, which made the installation process very challenging.
Nu Flow Mexico was able to fix drain lines with digging and saved the customer a lot of trouble.
About Nu Drain: Nu Flows Nu Drain CIPP restoration is a non-invasive procedure that uses epoxy inside a liner to
create a new pipe inside deteriorated host piping systems and can span missing sections of pipe. Epoxy pipe lining
is a long-term solution for leaks and breaks, blockages, root intrusion, calcium build-up, water damage, mold, sewer
backups while increasing flow capacity.
