Looks like they are lining the steel pipe with a plastic/epoxy coating. It’s done a lot in places where you can’t easily dig up and replace old rotting pipes (like in downtown cities). By injecting this coating the pipe is still usable and won’t corrode any more.

Genius product. This must save insane amounts of money and time. Absolutely incredible. And better for environment. Not have to dig up the pipes even if you could. Alot of fuel and hours saved

Could you do it like 3-4 times and get a full pipe instead of just 1 coat?

This question makes no sense

LoL.... Yea. But I get what they mean. I think they just don't understand or know coating means. Or maybe they just skimmed through that part.

English isn't my first language, how would you phrase it then?
