In discussions with Gold Coast City Council, Nuflow's Research and Development team have been working on various methods to reline water mains. A key requirement from council to reline water mains is that the cured liner will hold 1200Kpa of water pressure. Therefore the lab undertook some testing. ..
Vacuum waste collection systems operate at a high negative pressure. They suck all rubbish from high buildings or an entire estate to an end collection
point. With this constant movement of rubbish inside the pipes, breaks, holes and catch points occur, particularly on bends, that need to be repaired.
In certain cases, excavation is not an option and therefore waste collection providers are looking for alternative solutions to repair these points.
As such Nuflow were approached to develop a solution.

Before any relining takes place, the drains must first be inspected and surveyed. We use a pipe camera to identify and locate the cause of the problem. The drain is then cleared using highpressure water jets; once the blockage is cleared the pipe is then ready for the liner installation. ..
