How we help
Do you know where all the underground assets and connections are on your sites?
Without this knowledge you could be sitting on a pollution time bomb which is easily avoided with a CCTV survey and building an accurate underground asset map.
Once you have an accurate drainage map, regular CCTV surveys of your underground asset network will identify issues such as blockages, cracked pipes, and root ingress etc.
In the event of a pollution incident, an up-to-date drainage map and records of regular drainage surveying and maintenance will significantly reduce the financial implication.
Silt, fats, oil, and grease (FOGs), root ingress, and surface water infiltration can all have an impact on the hydraulic capacity of your network.
Our solutions will improve the hydraulic capacity of your network without the capital expenditure of installing new assets.
Many sites are operating with an ageing infrastructure. However, the cost of capital investment in replacing this infrastructure is challenging.
Our trenchless repair and lining capability can significantly extend the life of your assets, enabling you to spend your budget more wisely and build a more sustainable network.
By taking a proactive approach to your assets you can reduce the overall cost to operate, enabling you to divert budgets to pressing strategic activity such as meeting ESG targets.

Specialist technology
Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is a resin-impregnated liner installed by winching into place or using air or water to expand the liner, forcing it against the walls of the host pipe. Allowing the liner to travel along the full length of the asset - this is known as inversion. Curing methods include ambient curing, hot water, steam, UV or LED light. Therefore curing the liner into a new structural pipe formed within the existing asset, reducing friction to improve flow characteristics and creating a sealed pipeline that prevents infiltration and exfiltration.
Take a look at our CIPP Lining video:
Trenchless rehabilitation solution for ageing pressurised pipelines. ‘C Shaped’ PE100 Pipe is designed for use in existing pressure and gravity pipelines for the renewal of drinking water, gas, and wastewater pipelines made of steel, cast iron, or concrete.
It is installed close-fit into an existing pipeline providing a new structural pipe with a lifetime of 80 – 100 years' service.
We operate a wide range of specialist pipe bursting rigs including static and dynamic. The installation process consists of replacing a defective pipe or to upsize individual assets. Our team are trained in hydraulic pipe bursting techniques and plastic pipe welding for butt fusion and electro fusion joints. Pipe bursting is the only trenchless method that allows for the installation of a larger diameter pipe than the existing host pipe, a process known as "upsizing." This technique increases hydraulic capacity and can help mitigate flooding and pollution.
Slip lining - Use of various specialist pipe bursting rigs and winches for installing a new undersized pipe within existing an host pipe.
Flexi slip lining - Slip lining host pipe by winching through a flexibly layered ribbed plastic pipe.
