We are proud to announce that our SAERTEX-LINER H₂O has been successfully tested for use in contact with drinking water according to AS/NZS 4020:2018.

Order a liner online in just a few clicks and view the most important documents at a glance? That is now possible with SAERTEX multiCom.

After numerous trade fairs were cancelled due to the Corona pandemic, SAERTEX multiCom will be back this year as an exhibitor at IFAT in Munich (29 May to 03 June 2022, Hall C3, Booth 317). The focus is on technologies and services for the trenchless rehabilitation of pressure pipelines, especially drinking water and gas. When it comes to the rehabilitation of drinking water and gas pipelines, experienced experts with equipment and know-how provide support worldwide from the concept phase to successful project completion, enabling customers to carry out their projects smoothly.

Are you looking for a sustainable rehabilitation option for supply or wastewater pipes?

Rehabilitation using trenchless technology is in itself more sustainable than conventional construction methods. In addition, we have set ourselves the goal of increasing our contribution to CO2 savings even further. The topic of sustainability is therefore an integral part of our corporate strategy, which is continuously driven forward by Michael Lensing as Sustainability Manager at SAERTEX multiCom.

Watch the film about it.

In order to make trenchless pipeline rehabilitation more sustainable, SAERTEX multiCom introduced the SAERTEX-LINER UPgreen at the end of 2020. The company has since used this key innovation in the sustainable production of GRP liners as standard for all SAERTEX-LINERS in the product range with UP resins. To date, the new technology has enabled savings of one million kilograms of CO₂.

The so-called resin-rich layers of pipe liners have been subjected to very specific treatment on the German market since the introduction of DIN EN ISO 11296-4 in 2011. The scope for interpretation resulted in a competition developing to achieve the highest modulus of elasticity, which then became synonymous with high quality. However, the resulting characteristic values are dubious in terms of their technical basis. This practice continues to be upheld, although the update to the product standard has now rendered the basis unfounded.  The introduction of the AoC document for pipe liners is another reason to deviate from the unique German path.
