PipeFlo introduces trenchless concrete renewal systems for sanitary and storm pipes;
- Conshield a proven technology for the economical and effective long term prevention of bacterial corrosion of concrete in high corrosive (MIC/H2S) sanitary sewer environment
- A liquid additive precisely dosed during the mixing phase to perform consistently, safely & effectively in each specific mix design
- Primarily used in Maintenance Holes, Wet Wells, Clarifiers and similar cast-in-place structures (lift stations, pipe and for new concrete pipe and manholes)
- ConShield cannot chip, peel, delaminate, pinhole or wash off since it molecularly bonds throughout the entire thickness so bacteria are destroyed by an electro-physical mechanism

- Centri-Pipe (Centrifugally Cast Concrete Pipe Lining) a cast in place sealing & reinforcing system
- A new structural concrete pipe is spuncast throughout the entire length using the CCCP method
- Offers a corrosion protection and complete structural renewal of storm and sanitary sewer pipe between 750mm to 3000mm in diameter
