Smart Lock

Smart Lock is a trenchless, No Dig Point Repair solution that reinstates the structural strength and integrity of deformed and damaged pipes. Made of an expandable and self-locking stainless steel sleeve, Smart Lock is encased in fibreglass matting impregnated with an application-specific silicate resin. It is installed remotely from the nearest manhole or access chamber using an inflatable packer and left to cure behind the stainless steel sleeve.
