Relining cracked and leaking sewer pipes was nothing new for Nuflow Central Queensland’s Ben Byrne. But doing the reline on a live line being pumped under pressure to the treatment station made it a great test for the company’s latest star product – and made underwater pipe relining an Australian first!<\/p>\n

The client<\/h2>\n

Rockhampton Council Sewer Network.<\/p>\n

The problem<\/h2>\n

A cracked and leaking 100mm junction connecting to a 150mm main sewer line. Pipe material: earthenware (terracotta).<\/p>\n

The junction serviced a busy shopping centre amenities and closure of the line or the main which led to the council’s treatment facilities, was not an option.<\/p>\n

Solution – underwater pipe relining<\/span><\/h2>\n

By using Nuflow’s underwater and fast-curing Blueline resin<\/a> the junction was successfully relined using the pull-in-place method of installation whilst the line remained live and fully functional.<\/p>\n

Time taken to resolve the issue<\/h2>\n

Six hours<\/p>\n

Disruption to services, lifestyle, functionality<\/h2>\n

None<\/p>\n

Cost saving over digging<\/h2>\n

Between $5,000 and $10,000<\/p>\n

Other benefits<\/h2>\n
