vertical drop leading to a 20mlong horizontal run and then a vertical rise at the reception end. The lining could not usewater or ambient cure options due to project timings. Therefore CJK/Picote provided one of the newPicote Smart Heat systems to accelerate the curing times for the liners.
Picote’sMaxi Smart Heat is built on a light and rugged aluminiumframe similar to that of the MaxiMillerwith 30mof heating cable. The systemis designed to speed up the ambient cure of CIPP liners by approximately
35%.Maxi Smart Heat is also a significant alternative to traditional heat curingmethods, significantly reducing the amount of equipment required on-site and simplifying the CIPP liner curing process. Once the liner is inserted and inflated in the pipe or duct being renovated, the heating cable is inserted and the power turned on. The Rod heats up raising the temperature inside the lining thereby accelerating the curing process.

spray disinfected/sterilised before and after use. TheMetro Rod crewalso had toworkwithin a strict hygiene protocol during the course of theworks.
Commenting forMetro Rod Spencer Horsfield said: “Under normal circumstances thiswould not have been the easiest of jobs anyway given the locationwithin the hospital building and the sensitive nature of the treatment equipment being installed. But, added to thiswas the need to be particularly careful given the current and for now ongoing Covid situation.We have a long-termrelationshipwith John and Martyn at C J Kelly and their ability and willingness, alongwith Picote Solutions, to provide brand new, unused equipment for this project and accessorieswas absolutely key to maintaining the hygiene standards required. Our thanksmust go to themfor this assistance.”
For C J Kelly International John Kelly, Senior Partner said: “As Picote Solutions’ first distributor in the UKwe have always had good relationshipswith our clients. To be able to workwithMetro Rod on this hospital project

with Picote to ensure the best equipmentwas available to complete theworks to the highest hygiene standards is somethingwewould always try to do for any of our clientele if and whenwe can.”
For Picote Solutions Dawn Greig said: “Thiswas a case of ‘what is best for the client given the location and equipment involved’.Wewere able,with C J Kelly to, provide the perfect solution necessary. Itwas a pleasure towork with both C J Kelly andMetro Rod throughout this project.”
