Los Angeles Embraces Innovative UV Repair Technologies

Waterline Renewal Technologies has made a significant stride in infrastructure management with the formal approval of its LightRay® LR2 and LR3 UV cured-in-place repair systems by the City of Los Angeles. This announcement marks LightRay's entry into one of the largest public works markets in the United States, exemplifying a growing trend toward efficient and minimally invasive sewer rehabilitation techniques.

A New Era in Infrastructure Repair

The LightRay systems are engineered to deliver rapid, effective solutions for sewer and drain rehabilitation, utilizing cutting-edge UV curing technology. In metropolitan areas, where traditional repair methods can lead to extensive disruption and lengthy recovery timelines, the LightRay systems stand out with their quick installation and reliable outcomes.

Adam Tetz, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Waterline, expressed excitement over this approval. He emphasizes that being recognized by Los Angeles—a city known for its forward-thinking approach to technology—underscores the quality and reliability of LightRay’s innovations.

“Los Angeles has a significant role in setting standards, and their endorsement speaks to how our systems can meet the high demands of complex infrastructure programs across North America. This is a major step forward for the adoption of UV repair methodologies,” Tetz said.

The city’s evaluation process emphasized crucial factors such as safety, performance capabilities, installation techniques, and long-term reliability, ensuring that contractors and municipal planners can confidently use LightRay technologies in their sewer networks.

Advanced Features Tailored for Urban Needs

LightRay systems are designed for 2 to 8-inch diameter pipes, effectively managing common sewer issues such as root intrusion and structural defects. The systems are characterized by a rapid UV curing process, high-strength material construction, and portable operation. This design allows for trenchless repair methodologies that maintain productivity and minimize the need for extensive site restoration.

By employing LightRay technology, contractor teams can navigate urban infrastructure projects more efficiently, minimizing traffic disruptions and public inconvenience. Such attributes of the LightRay systems would be especially advantageous in densely populated areas, aligning with contemporary urban management practices that prioritize efficiency and minimally invasive solutions.

In conjunction with the launch of these approved systems, Waterline Renewal Technologies is committed to aiding its contractors and municipal partners through comprehensive training, field demonstrations, and technical support. This hands-on approach positions them as allies in the transition toward adopting modern repair technologies and overcoming urban infrastructure challenges.
