Mullane and its supply partner IMPREG are delivering timely and high-quality relining projects across NSW.
Based in NSW’s Central Coast, Mullane Trenchless Pipeline Solutions is an expert in all things trenchless works, with a particular emphasis on pipe relining and repairs.
“We specialise in pipe relining along with the ancillary services that go with it, such as CCTV inspection, pipe cleaning, and asset mapping,” Mullane Trenchless General Manager Civil Infrastructure Director Luke Woodward told Trenchless Australasia.
“We also sit within an established parent company, H L Mullane, which specialises in civil pipeline construction. This means when clients come to us with projects that are part trenchless and part civil, we’re able to self-deliver the whole thing.”
This broad scope of capabilities sees Mullane Trenchless regularly engaged in civil and pipeline projects for councils, water authorities, and heavy industries such as mining.
With such high calibre projects, the full-service pipe rehabilitation company is just as careful with its work as it is with its choice of supply partner.
Enter IMPREG.
As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) liner systems for UV-curing, IMPREG is a supply partner of choice for Mullane. The company’s flagship GL16 liner was developed for all common pipes from DN150 to 2000 for sustainable and efficient trenchless rehabilitation.
Boasting over 100 years of design life, high quality UV resins, easy installation, and extreme durability even under tough conditions, it’s not hard to see why IMPREG is an important part of Mullane’s arsenal.
The supplier was called on once again when Mullane Trenchless Pipeline Solutions was awarded a large package to deliver relining works for various flood pipes.
This included some pipes that were impacted by tidal flows.
“We opted to procure the full package worth of GL16 UV liners ranging from DN375 to DN1500 from IMPREG,” Woodward said.
“Tidal flows, remoteness, and difficult access made the projects significantly complex, but we drew from our combined trenchless and civil skills to deliver the package in a timely and environmentally friendly way.
“We found that by ordering the full materials package through IMPREG and having it delivered to their Newcastle facility – only an hour away from us – we were able to easily arrange pick up and delivery of the liners each day to the sites. This minimised delivery times, making the project much easier and allowed us to focus on some of the more complex challenges.”
Thanks to the combined prowess of Mullane Trenchless, IMPREG and H L Mullane, the stormwater pipes were relined to a very high standard and are ready for action for decades to come.
“Our clients were delighted and impressed with how smooth things went,” Woodward said. “Through the support from IMPREG for materials, technical support and logistics, we were able to deliver the project well within the timeframe allowed.”
It’s the combination of excellent communication and premium quality that makes IMPREG a choice partner for Mullane.
“We find that they’re a very reliable supplier with great communication and great after sales service,” Woodward said.
“When we have more complex projects, IMPREG will often send us an expert to help get the most out of their product and make sure the installation goes without any hitches.
“They provide consistent quality products with great availability, which gives us peace of mind and the ability to handle urgent projects.”
For IMPREG, the respect is mutual.
“IMPREG is always happy to support Mullane,” IMPREG Country Manager Colin Murphy said.
“We have deployed a technician to site on a few occasions for assistance with complex installations. The finished results have always been excellent.”
