Water Infrastructure Group will highlight its trunk main rehabilitation capabilities, which include ultra high pressure surface preparation, a range of coatings such as epoxy and calcium aluminate cement and the company’s patented uPVC spirally formed lining system, called Panel Lok.

Water Infrastructure Group is one of Australia’s leading specialists in sliplining and full replacement of DN 150 up to DN 3,000 pipelines, including mild steel cement-lined pipe.

Based on these core capabilities, the company will showcase a sample of epoxy coating, calcium aluminate cement lining, PVC Panel Lok lining and a sample of Sintakote sliplined pipe.

Panel Lok is an economical pipe renovation method for man-entry size pipes from DN 750 up to DN 3,000. The system has proven highly successful for the renovation and protection of sewer pipes, access chambers, wet wells, stormwater drainage pipes, irrigation pipeline, or tunnel and shaft lining. Panel Lok is designed as a bonded structural liner. It forms a composite pipe section with the host pipe grouted to ensure sealing and bonding.

Epoxy and calcium aluminate cement are coatings which are applied to protect sewers and stormwater channels from biogenic acid attack. The coatings are applied at the correct mix with automatic pumping systems developed by Water Infrastructure Group. The success of these coatings depends greatly on the applicator and Water Infrastructure Group has developed specialised crews who have broadened and refined their skills.

The company’s pipe cleaning equipment includes a fleet of high pressure cleaning trucks, ultra high pressure systems and various de-silting machinery. These units provide flushing, root cutting, heavy cleaning and de-scaling for DN 100 up to DN 2,000 pipelines and man-entry size culverts, wet wells and maintenance holes. Water infrastructure Group has also developed in-house technology that removes concrete and other heavy debris from man and non man-entry pipelines.
