For many years, structural rehabilitation of pipelines was strictly available in the gas for drainage applications.
Two decades ago, Sanexen developed a structural liner for the rehabilitation of drinking water mains
Aquapipe® is a proven economical and viable alternative to issues related to watermains where, in the past, the only solution was to dig and replace
City managers and engineers from public works departments now have a decision to make when they experience the following issues with their water mains:
- Loss of structural capacity (water pressure, live or dead load)
- Numerous pipe breaks or high rate of leakage
- Loss of important hydraulic capacity in addition to structural problems
- Water quality problems in addition to structural problems
Aquapipe® is a structural liner designed and manufactured with mechanical properties that exceed all specifications and meet drinking water requirements
Aquapipe® is certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 61, UL, NQ3660-950, AS/NZS 4020 and WRAS approved product (BS6920)
The Aquapipe® solution has many advantages, such as when:
- Complete access to driveways is a must and the closing of streets to residents as well as businesses is out of the question
- The water main runs underneath a bridge or overpass rendering access to the main impossible
Evidently, there are strong advantages in using the Aquapipe® liner in well populated areas where water main breaks and rusty water plague the system
Our licensed contractors have installed over 1,000km of Aquapipe® with 60,000 service connections throughout 500 towns and cities in North America and Australasia
