Applications

Asset Condition Assessment

The need for preventative maintenance and the sustainability of assets calls for better understanding of the behavior of various infrastructure network systems and their components. The investigative and remedial services offered by Downer PipeTech for the oil & gas industries include CCTV data capture, asset condition assessment, laser profiling, trenchless technology repair and a comprehensive understanding of the infrastructure and associated operating activities. All of these professional services can increase the life of the asset which in turn will increase productivity, and maximize return on capital re-investments and increase asset up-time.

Structural & Protective Lining

Downer PipeTech provide full structural repair of pipelines and structures through a number of products and services. Stormwater, sewer and water systems are catered for using either our CIPP-UV cured liner [Berolina] or for the larger diameters we have an in-situ concrete lining system [Tunneline]. ITS also provide a unique service for both the removal of worn out sacrificial liners and the installation of new ones for transmission pipelines using our Pressureline system.
