Cabrillo Tower’s horizontal sewer drain lines, inconveniently encased in deep concrete in the ceiling of thecondominium’s parking garage, experienced chronic leaking. The property manager did not know what to do about

these aged pipes, because a traditional re-pipe would be impossible. He was relieved to learn about Nu Flow’s

trenchless, Pull-in-Place structural lining - it proved to be the ideal solution

Project: Clean and line leaking horizontal drain lines

inside the condo’s parking garage and line the sewer 

system’s main line with our no-dig structural lining

technology.

Customer and Site: Cabrillo Tower HOA consists of 

the residents of Cabrillo Tower, a lavish 15-story high-

rise condominium perched on the beach in Coronado,

California. Cabrillo Tower is the oldest of 10 largeluxury condos built on Coronado Beach.

System: All of the horizontal cast iron sewer pipes

located in the parking garage and the 10” cast iron

sewer main line. The horizontal sewer lines penetrate

through 4- or 5-foot-thick concrete slabs in the walls

and ceilings and consist of 3”, 4”, 6” and 8” diameters.

All pipes are the originals that have been on the

property since the condominium was built in 1970.

Situation: Corrosion and old age caused the horizontal

cast iron drain pipes in the condo’s parking garage

to leak. Since the pipes pass through thick concreteslabs without protective sleeving, a traditional re-pipe

was impossible. The customer was approached by Nu

Flow and was happy to hear that we have a solution to

his unique problem that he otherwise could not solve.

Solution: Nu Flow rehabilitated the sewer pipes in the

parking garage by using existing access points. The

structural lining, installed with our patented trenchless

technology, covers the cracks and is a long-term

protective solution against future corrosion and leaks.

Cabrillo Tower decided to have Nu Flow line the building’s 10” main line as well for preventative measures. Thismain line is located beneath the parking garage and common grounds, so Nu Flow saved the customer from future

headaches, expenses and destruction.

The job was performed without any major disruption to the tenants or the functioning of the parking garage. There

was one technicality that occurred during the scope of the work, but the property manager said Nu Flow technicians

responded in an excellent manner. A full crew was sent immediately and the technicians stayed at the job site until

the problem was completely xed.

Nu Flow is proud to be Cabrillo Tower’s saving grace. A challenging pipe location should not be a deterrent from

getting the pipes rehabilitated. Nu Flow has the technology to design the perfect solution for your building’s plumbing

problems, whether your building is residential, commercial, industrial or municipal.

“Nu Flow was the most economically 

 prudent and practical solution to a problem

that could have cost thousands upon

thousands of dollars.” 

- Mark Tracy, Cabrillo Tower Property Manager
