LiningPro service library
Robotic cutting / reinstatements
Offered by CIT Sewer Solutions in Iowa

CIT Sewer Solutions runs robotic cutting and remote milling throughout Iowa from inside the pipe under closed-circuit video. One carriage can host different heads so the same platform handles lateral reinstatement after lining, trims intrusions flush with the wall, and mills stubborn obstructions when water jetting alone is not the right first move.
Lateral reinstatement after lining
Structural lining temporarily covers building and commercial service taps. CIT Sewer Solutions reopens each connection with a guided reinstatement cut so the liner stays continuous while flow returns to the property. Cooling or flushing during the cut controls heat and plastic shavings, and the pass usually finishes with a camera proof that the tap is fully open to the designed diameter.
- Window geometry aligned to stamped tap locations and agency detail drawings
- Debris control so shavings do not load downstream basins or pump stations
- Recorded video that shows full bore and clean edge before the crew demobilizes
Protruding taps, proud laterals, and mechanical prep
Some taps enter the main proud of the wall, couplings stick into the bore, or offsets leave a lip that traps debris and blocks maintenance gear. CIT Sewer Solutions can robotically grind those intrusions to a smooth profile when specification allows, which restores cleaner geometry for jet heads, cutters, or future lining trains.
Roots, scale, and mineral crust
Heavy root knobs, concrete-like scale, and hardened mineral crust sometimes need mechanical milling before routine cleaning can keep a line clear. CIT Sewer Solutions matches bit selection to the material, paces removal with flow and bypass planning, and stops if host wall thickness or structural risk says to change the repair strategy.
Obstructions and failed repair material
Robotic systems can also address intruded grout or concrete, stubborn paste obstructions, failed liner fins or lips, and other foreign material when safety and cover depth support an internal approach. CIT Sewer Solutions documents what was removed, what structure remains, and whether spot UV, short lining, dig, or legal notification still belongs on the punch list after the bore is passable again.
