No-Dig Pipe Repair Case Studies

VIP-WECO pipe repair case studies demonstrate the performance of our no-dig mechanical sealing systems in live infrastructure environments. From potable water mains to wastewater and industrial pipelines, our trenchless repair systems are used to rehabilitate damaged joints, cracks and infiltration points with reduced excavation and disruption.

Each project highlights the technical challenge, installation method and long-term performance achieved using VIP-WECO systems, giving engineers and asset owners confidence in mechanical sealing solutions for critical pipeline assets.

Working in close partnership, Lanes Group, RSM Lining Supplies and VIP-Polymers developed a bespoke trenchless rehabilitation approach using the newly launched VIP-WECO Connect system.

Working alongside M Group Water, DWG, AECOM & Thames Water initiated a major rehabilitation programme to identify a cost-effective, low-risk solution capable of extending asset life while maintaining hydraulic performance. The resulting project forms part of a £21 million investment to rehabilitate the trunk main using an innovative hybrid lining system - VIP-WECO PROLINE.
