LAS VEGAS — Pipe Restoration Technologies LLC (PRT) announced that it has been awarded a Canadian patent, Brevet Canadien #2707023, by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) for its ePIPE® in-place pipe restoration technology.

PRT said this patent is focused on methods and systems of the ePIPE technology that provides for an abrasive cleaning method and the placement of an internal barrier coating and leak sealing process which is applied internally in pipes while the pipes remain in-place, preventing leaks without having to use conventional repair and repiping methods.
