PIPELINE REHABILITATION
The introduction
of new fast setting polymer systems in year 2000 has revolutionised the
technology used to upgrade and rehabilitate existing water, ags and
sewage pipelines.
The application of
approximately 3 millimetres of a high performance polyurethane polymer
enables water and gas distribution companies to rehabilitate and upgrade
their existing network without the need for costly and time consuming
replacement.
In many cases, the
new polymer lining will offer a life expectancy well beyond that which
may be provided by more expensive plastic pipes.
Furthermore, from
an environmental and carbon footprint point of view, these new in-situ
lining techniques offer huge advantages over more traditional methods of
replacement and repair.
