- Trenchless – no major excavations required
- Long shelf life – no liquid resins mean that there are no shelf life concerns.
- Thin-walled (3mm) – to maintain the pipe’s hydraulic capacity
- Structural – same standalone integrity as the existing pressure pipe – 50+ bar burst pressure
- Sustainability & Environmentally friendly – low carbon footprint
- Cost-effective
- Uses 3rd party end seals, couplings and ferrules
- Minimal maintenance
- Minimise damage/disruption – to existing utility services
Contractors & Infrastructure Owners
- Possibility to line pipes that are difficult to access (underneath rivers, roads, railway tracks etc)
- The process has the ability to line round bends and offset joints
- Limited future maintenance required
- Little excavation when compared to traditional open cut
- Possibility to
line through bends - Adjacent infrastructures not disturbed by work
Less complaints from residents during work- Rehabilitation is less expensive than traditional open cut;
- Prevention of future water main breaks;
- Elimination of further interventions on rehabilitated water mains;
- Reduction of social costs.
- Uses standard 3rd party attachments – joints, connections, end seals etc. as below:
Environmental benefits
- Preservation of surface and underground infrastructure
- Minimal traffic disruption
- Low noise and dust pollution for neighbourhood residents
- Protection of the environment due to CO2 emission reduction
- Extremely short turnaround times
- Restoration of the functionality of a pipeline system for many decades to come
- Process has a small footprint on site – potentially only requiring 2 vehicles on site
