NEOFIT - Trenchless reconstruction of pipes with small diameters

The supply of many household with drinking water works still through house connections made of steel.This can have disastrous consequences on the health of the consumers. Since 25. December, 1998 the regulation no. 98/83/CE EU is in force. It stipulates, that the maximum lead content of drinking water must be reduced from 50 µg/l to 25 µg/l and this value has to be reduced to 10 µg/l from 25 December, 2013. In order to be able to achieve this value, we must change or reconstruct most of the existing pipelines of lead. The demand is enormous.

A quick, reliable and cost efficient solution is NEOFIT!

NEOFIT is the trenchless reconstruction method of house connections made of lead or other material. A PET (polyethylene terephtalate) liner must be pulled into the old pipe and widened by a special equipment. The water supply has to be stopped for maximum 1 hour.

 

NEOFIT is very reliable in preventing the diffusion of lead into the drinking water and a leakage of the pipeline. As a result of the smooth surface of the pipe, the flow capacity of the reconstructed pipeline is even better than before the reconstruction.
