James Down Senior Housing Towers Receives Top-Down Facility Renovations Including Installation of US Chutelining System to Four Central Trash Chutes
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- US ChuteLining, LLC, designer of the industry's first Cured-In-Place-Chute lining system (CIPC), announced today the completion of a project for the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority which included the installation of their patented, cured-in-place, Chute Lining System. The modernization of the James Down Senior Housing Towers, was part of a $42,000,000 Multi-Unit Housing Initiative, for the purpose of acquisition and rehabilitation of the 200-unit senior affordable housing facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. As part of the modernization project, the Authority opted for the patented US Chutelining Relining System for restoration of James Down's trash chutes over the conventional mechanical replacement method.
"Our lining system was designed to be installed bottom-up, using the existing chute as a conduit," stated Ryan Fischer, Division Manager, US ChuteLining, LLC. "The lining system is installed in-place, as a one-piece, and seamless system, then cured to form a new chute within-a-chute. The existing chute is cleaned, prepared, and our system is then installed within hours, unlike traditional replacement methods which can take weeks," said Fischer. "This is cutting edge, and because our system is designed to be seamless, there are no entry or exit points for odors or bugs to enter or escape. It is a very clean system"
Working with Fortune 500 clients such as Disney, and MGM, US ChuteLining, a Division of US Pipelining, LLC, developed the groundbreaking lining method after years of trial and design iterations. "We were approached by Disney about the possibility of lining their central chutes beneath the Orlando Park," said Jeremy Bowman, President of US Pipelining." At the time we were doing most of the Cured-In-Place Pipe lining for Disney Resorts and Theme Parks. Lining is all we do so we welcomed the challenge. The first was a horizontal chute so the method of lining was much the same as lining a sanitary or storm pipe," declared Bowman. "The real challenge was developing the method, materials, and equipment to install the cured-in-place liner vertically." It would be years before the final design for the US Chuteliner System was completed.
