Hydrosave and SSI Services signs exclusivity deal with Curapipe Systems Ltd
SSI Services (UK) Ltd (an infrastructure services specialist and part of South Staffordshire Plc) has signed a long term exclusivity deal to operate the UK license for Curapipe Systems Ltd, TALR (Trenchless Automated Leakage Repair) technology.
Hydrosave – the pipeline management and leakage specialist within SSI Services, will operate the license and adapt the TALR deployment and site processes to meet the stringent requirements of the UK water industry along with the complexities of its established networks. Originally developed in Israel, the TALR technology has been tested extensively to repair leaks by the Jerusalem Water Utility and it has been trialled in both Italy and South America.
How does TALR work?
TALR works by inserting a ‘gel type pig train’ into a section of isolated pipe using a special deployment station via an existing fire hydrant or tapping position. The ‘pig train’ moves under pressure along the pipe at a controlled velocity and instantaneously seals all types of leaks with a special material which then hardens becoming structurally integrated into the pipe. The pig train is removed from the pipe using a specially designed retrieval system.
The process is very effective for repairing all types of leaks, on all materials, including the numerous small leaks that may be proving difficult to detect and repair. Curapipe TALR will complement existing leak repair or mains replacement techniques, but it will also have some obvious significant advantages.
