Keeping things flowing

As Victoria’s second largest water corporation by area, we have more than 3000km of water and sewer mains to maintain.

An essential part of our work is to renew and repair these pipelines. By taking a proactive approach, we not only save money but reduce disruption to our customers as well as our environmental impact!

Using new cured-in-place relining technology also means these pipes can be restored without replacing them or fully digging up an area.

High-definition CCTV cameras are used to check the pipes’ condition and find any cracks or leaks. A resin saturated liner is then inserted into the pipe and then cured in place using hot water, steam or UV light. This forms a new durable inner pipe within the existing structure, extending its lifespan well into the future.
