No wonder Nuflow Brisbane South is kept busy with sewer pipe repair \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you lived in Brisbane before the 1880s, your home would have had a cesspit to collect the waste from your toilet. These loosely bricked holes were made without cement so that wastewater could seep out into the surrounding earth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alas, this lack of hygiene contributed to the city\u2019s high infant mortality rate, so the \u2018earth closet\u2019 or thunderbox dunny was born (pardon the pun). While thunderboxes did save babies\u2019 lives, they created a secondary problem \u2013 where to put the solid waste that was collected by \u2018nightsoil\u2019 men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suburban dumps sprang up around the city, in places like Milton and Pinkenba, but residents disliked the stench, so the waste was transported to St Helena Island instead!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brisbane&#8217;s First Sewer Pipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brisbanetimes.com.au\/national\/queensland\/time-tunnel-brisbanes-oldest-sewer-pipe-a-gift-from-1915-20150814-gizh52.html\">Brisbane\u2019s first sewer pipe<\/a> &#8211; which ran from Toowong to Luggage Point via North Quay, Fortitude Valley and Pinkenba \u2013 commenced in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight years later, the pipe opened and by 1930, Spring Hill, the City and East Brisbane were also connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Golden Age of Sewerage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>80% of Brisbane homes still had thunderboxes in the 1950s, although by this stage the waste was now being emptied into large barges, before being dumped in Moreton Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1960s heralded the arrival of flushing toilets or \u2018water closets\u2019 in Brisbane homes, and suburban sewerage treatment plants popped up all over the city, thanks to Lord Mayor Clem Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction then began on large sewerage and wastewater treatment plants at Luggage Point in 1973.\u00a0 The Commonwealth Government provided funding for municipal sewerage systems under the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/National_Sewerage_Program\">National Sewerage Program<\/a> that ran between 1972 and 1977.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advances in Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brisbane City Council took advantage of new technology in the 1990s and introduced data and telemetry systems to control the wastewater and sewerage systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, a 2.4 metre diameter tunnel was constructed to house the S1 sewer pipe between Hamilton and North Quay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">S1 Main Sewer Upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Did You Know?\u00a0 The S1 Main Sewer Pipe is located 20 metres underground. That\u2019s the equivalent of 8 storeys!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 2016, the S1 main sewer pipe was badly in need of some TLC.&nbsp; Trenchless technology was used to reline the concrete pipe with a composite steel-reinforced polyethylene liner. After six years, works were completed \u2013 and all without having to dig up any roads or disrupt traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Dig Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nuflow.net\/the-history-of-nuflows-australian-made-products\/\">Trenchless technology<\/a> has evolved, much like Brisbane\u2019s sewerage system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1998, Nuflow Canada were the first to develop the epoxy lining of pipes within homes; in 2000 the company patented the \u2018sleeve within a sleeve\u2019 method that revolutionised sewer pipe repair and replacement, and eliminated the need for digging and destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sewer Pipe Repair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your sewer pipes have seen better days, we are the experts in \u2018no dig\u2019 technology in Brisbane. Repairs can be performed \u2018in situ\u2019 using existing access points, so there\u2019s no need to dig up pipes or concrete slabs.
