Pipe Relining | Sewer choke | Blocked drain

Relining or installing a new pipe inside an old one.

There are several versions of relining and some of these are: epoxy resin, polymer, P.V.C deformed, structural, non-structural, inversion and tow-in. After intensive research we believe that one method stands head and shoulders above the rest. This technology is an epoxy resin reinforced pipe that is completely structural; it is a stand-alone pipe with or without the host pipe. There is no shrinkage of the liner and it completely bonds to the host pipe with no chance of root systems re-entering the pipeline. We can line an entire line, part of a line and stop and start anywhere within the line.

With AS/NZS 4020:2005 approval we are now able to carry out relining to facilitate renewal and repairs of potable water reticulation infrastructure work; this now gives our clients a great advantage over traditional cut and excavation options for this type of work. This can save expensive reinstatement costs to replace roads, highways, pedestrian ways, street scapes and other underground services, which will alleviate the traffic and pedestrian complications that accompany these excavations.

Our technology was first developed in North America in the late 90's and it evolved from technologies as far back as the 70's and 80's. In fact our local authorities, including Sydney Water have been using this type of drain repair-replacement for over 20 years, with an expected life for over 50 years.

The break through came with a world first patent technology with the ability to reline a pipe from 40mm to over 1.6 metre in diameter and to stop and start anywhere in the pipeline. In addition, this system is capable of relining any range of fittings, even p-traps and is also capable of full junction repairs. This technology is now widespread with over 250 licensees in Canada & U.S.A, in every state and territory of Australia and in New Zealand's North and South islands.

After further researching the world over we found this technology to be the most reliable, versatile and cost effective product available to rehabilitate defective pipes. This is why we have chosen to invest heavily in this system by becoming a licensed installer. After many years of successfully rehabilitating drainage systems, we still believe this technology to be the leading system.

No limits: Unlike other relining systems our patent system can perform in all the following & more.

  • 40mm through to over 1.6 metre in diameter
  • 0º - 180º bends capable
  • Complete and full junction liners
  • Voids in pipeline; we can reline pipes with large holes or even sections of pipe missing
  • Transitions 150mm -100mm
  • Single point entry
  • P-trap floor waste & Boundary traps
  • Long lengths joint free
  • Stop and start anywhere within the pipeline
  • Potable water (drinking water)
