Amex Internal Pressure Seals
How it works?
-
Amex Seals are composed of EPDM rubber providing both flexibility and endurance
-
With a size range from 600mm to 6000mm, there is something for almost every job
-
Depending on the damage, the width of the seal ranges from 180mm to 600mm for the Mono and even greater for the Vario!
-
Tested to withstand internal pressures of up to 25 bar and external pressure up to 8 bar
-
The seals can be installed in any type of pipe material and most shapes
Installation Methodology
-
The seal is first put into place
-
The steel bands are then secured using a hydraulic tool
-
A shim is hit into the space created by the hydraulic tool in the steel band
-
The hydraulic tool is removed and the next steel band is placed
Main advantages
-
Use of hydraulic tool allows for quick and easy installation
-
Design life of over 50 years!
-
More than 30 years of experience between our technicians
-
Own production and service
-
No resin, no impregnation, and no curing needed
-
Can be custom made to fit your specifications
The readily available seals currently on the market are at Amex-10 Mono, Amex 10 Vario and the Amex LEM

Manhole Rehabiltation
100% SOLIDS STRUCTURAL EPOXY COATING SYSTEM
The Ultracoat system is a structural epoxy coating system used for the rehabilitation and structural reinforcement of a wide range of substrates. Manhole repair, tunnel maintenance, bunds, culverts, and any other surface or structure can be coated. After its single coat application, Ultracoat leaves an exceptionally hard wearing, smooth and waterproof coating, with excellent chemical resistance.

ULTRACOAT – MANHOLE REPAIRS
The Ultracoat system has been used for the rehabilitation of over 50,000 manholes worldwide, each project avoiding the disruption of replacement, reducing immediate costs and bringing whole life cost for the structure down to a minimum. When presented with a corroded surface, perhaps after long term erosion and widespread infiltration, there are two main alternatives; the replacement of the manhole, or the repair of the manhole.
ULTRACOAT – TUNNELS
The Ultracoat system has been used successfully on tunnel and subway infrastructure for many years. Replacement of a man entry tunnel or a subway structure is rarely an option, and due to being a confined space and the need to maintain a structural strength, options are limited.
ULTRACOAT – CULVERTS
After initial successes with manhole rehabilitation, Ultracoat has more recently been used with great success for culvert surfacing and repair. Below shows a recent success in Tasmania, on a hydroelectric flume. See our Case Study section for more images and additional project details.
ULTRACOAT – LARGE CHAMBERS
Many chambers are by definition confined spaces, and so Ultracoat is the ideal solution when chamber rehabilitation is required. No breathing apparatus is necessary, and so the complexity of a project is kept to a minimum.
ULTRACOAT – BUND LINING
Ultracoat is increasingly used for bund lining and other asset management projects.
