Part-Liner Restoration: Punctual Repair with Packer
It's not always necessary to repair an entire pipeline. Often, the problem is limited to a single crack, a localized break, or a damaged joint. In these cases, the most intelligent, rapid, and economical solution is part-liner repair, a ""spot"" repair technology that surgically acts only on the exact location of the defect.
Franchini Servizi Ecologici uses packer systems to install part-liner sleeves, restoring the structural integrity and waterproofing of the pipeline without excavation and with minimal intervention times.
The Advantages of Localized Repair with Packer
Choosing a part-liner means opting for a targeted and efficient solution:
- Maximum Cost-Effectiveness: Intervention is only carried out where necessary, avoiding the costs of a complete remediation of the entire pipeline when it is not necessary.
- Speed of Execution: The intervention is extremely fast, often completed in just a few hours, minimizing system downtime.
- No Invasive Work: As with relining, everything is done from inside the pipeline, eliminating excavations, noise, and inconvenience.
- Hermetic and Structural Sealing: The fiberglass and resin sleeve hermetically seals the break, blocking infiltrations and leaks and structurally reinforcing the damaged area.
- High Compatibility: The technology can be applied to pipes of various materials, diameters, and shapes.
How Does the Packer Intervention Work?
The application of the part-liner is a high-precision process, which always begins with a thorough cleaning and video inspection to localize the damage with millimetric precision.
- Preparation of the Sleeve: A piece of special fiberglass fabric (part-liner) is impregnated with epoxy or silicate resins.
- Assembly on the Packer: The impregnated sleeve is wrapped around a ""packer, a special inflatable cylindrical tool.
- Positioning: The packer is pushed or dragged inside the pipeline until it reaches the exact point to be repaired, with the constant assistance of a camera.
- Inflation and Curing: The packer is inflated with Compressed air is used to force the sleeve against the pipe walls. The resin is then allowed to cure (harden).
- Extraction and Testing: Once the sleeve has hardened, the packer is deflated and removed, leaving the permanent repair in place. A final video inspection certifies its correct positioning and perfect sealing.
When to Use Part-Liner Technology?
This solution is ideal for solving specific problems such as:
- Circumferential or longitudinal cracks
- Localized holes and breaks
- Misaligned or damaged joints
- Damage from root intrusion (after removal)
- Sealing defective lateral connections

Repairing pipes without breaking anything: the ultimate guide to relining
Repairing broken pipes without resorting to demolition is possible thanks to relining, a no-dig technology that allows the pipeline to be reconstructed from the inside by inserting a thermosetting resin liner. This method eliminates the need to break walls, floors, or dig up the garden, reducing intervention times by 50% and significantly cutting costs related to restoring building surfaces.
