The video details the North Georges River Submain project (NGRS), which involved installing a 633 metre long liner, 2.4 metres in diameter and weighing almost 100 tonnes. Interflow completed the project by producing an in-situ pipe by spirally winding a composite plastic strip at a fixed diameter within the host pipe.
The record installation of the NGRS by Interflow is a significant innovation for the trenchless sewer renewal industry not only because of the feat itself but also for the fact that it has opened up the potential for creating very long pipelines from a single location, whether it be for pipe relining, tunnel boring or another similar application. Interflow has plans to build on this platform and explore further opportunities.
Showing off the NGRS
Interflow has been recognised for their engineering excellence and innovative design with the NGRS project having been selected for display by the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, which is open to the public until January 2011. The project was also awarded the ASTT Project of the Year Award 2009.
