Since landing in Australia and New Zealand, Impreg has exponentially grown its reach in the regional trenchless industry.
Impreg is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) liner systems for UV-curing. The company’s flagship GL16 liner was developed for all common pipes from DN 150 to 2000 for sustainable and efficient trenchless rehabilitation.
Impreg liners boast over 100 years of design life, high quality UV resins, easy installation, and extreme durability even under tough conditions. Liners can even be designed to fit irregular pipe shapes, like ovoid or liner diameters that transition from one diameter to another in one section.
After an initial consultation to understand the project, Impreg is able to offer a design solution in a matter of days, backed by a distribution centre near Sydney, NSW, and another in Auckland, New Zealand.
And while it’s premium-quality products have certainly helped forge the company’s stellar reputation, there’s much more to the picture.
If you ask Impreg Australia and New Zealand Country Manager Colin Murphy the key to the company’s success in Australasia, he’ll tell you it’s partly to do with the deep connections it forms with its customers and industry partners.
Understanding the complexities of trenchless projects, Impreg backs its customers with nation-wide training and support. If a client is new to UV lining, requires training through an in-person workshop, or is in need of an additional hand onsite, the company is able to go the extra mile to ensure the effective use of its products on a project.
Murphy, along with Impreg Technical Consultant Jamie Patrick, have been working closely together visiting clients across Australia where they have been involved in many technical discussions, site visits, liner installation assistance and pre-tender meetings.
Most recently, the duo headed to Queensland’s Gold Coast to provide UV installation training to the Nuflow Australasia team alongside ProKASRO Mechatronik.
Training began at Nuflow headquarters over a three-day period and then moved over to New Zealand to provide the same service to Nuflow partners. The Impreg team carried out theory-based training with videos, slides and then some practical hands-on learning. Following this the team also made an onsite installation to cement the knowledge.
“Impreg can offer tailored training and technical advice to all our clients both existing and new anywhere in Australia and New Zealand,” Murphy said.
“This type of high calibre training coming from an experienced technical consultant is unique in our region.
“This program not only benefits our clients, but also the UV industry as a whole by keeping the installations across the country at a high standard.”
Patrick echoed this sentiment, adding that they have received great feedback from all who attended the training.
“Look forward to working closely on all upcoming projects with of our clients,” he said.
“We hope to educate our clients on key ‘do’s and don’ts’ to ensure that we get the best installation every time.”
Murphy and Patrick will continue to offer a variety of support to the trenchless industry, setting a new standard in UV CIPP customer service and technical advice in Australasia.
