Pipe Lining


Hadlee & Brunton have the exclusive New Zealand (NZ) rights to supply, distribute and install the full range of revolutionary German pipe rehabilitation products manufactured by Amex Sanivar. In particular is the range of Amex pressure liners, known as SaniTube, which are capable of operating pressures exceeding 50 bar. These 3.5mm thick liners can line any type of pipe from 100-year-old steel through to asbestos in lengths of up to 3km. Most importantly there is no resin, curing or grouting involved, just a flanged coupler at each end and inflate to 1 bar pressure to install. These liners can be used for potable water (AS/NZS approved), sewer, industrial waste water along with oil and gas. They will revolutionize the NZ construction industry with major cost and time savings and give aging infrastructure a further 50 to 100 years lifespan.
Amex Sanivar is a German family run business who specialise in the trenchless rehabilitation of pipelines and over the past 45 years, have developed a broad range of rehabilitation solutions for a wide range of applications such as, potable water, sewage, gas, kerosne/petrol and oil. Their range of products are capable of repairing almost any possible leak or defect in pipelines ranging from DN80 right up to DN6000. Combining Amex Sanivars trenchless rehabilitation products with the expertise and specialised trenchless technical knowledge of H&B, means that this partnership can solve most pipeline problems. Bespoke design solutions can also be developed for projects with special design constraints or circumstances.
SaniTube is a close-fit pull-in liner made to withstand high pressures while requiring relatively low amounts of installation equipment on-site however, there is a need to have highly specialised and advance camering capabilities to facilitate the installation.
