In order to make trenchless pipeline rehabilitation more sustainable, SAERTEX multiCom introduced the SAERTEX-LINER UPgreen at the end of 2020. The company has since used this key innovation in the sustainable production of GRP liners as standard for all SAERTEX-LINERS in the product range with UP resins. To date, the new technology has enabled savings of one million kilograms of CO₂.

The so-called resin-rich layers of pipe liners have been subjected to very specific treatment on the German market since the introduction of DIN EN ISO 11296-4 in 2011. The scope for interpretation resulted in a competition developing to achieve the highest modulus of elasticity, which then became synonymous with high quality. However, the resulting characteristic values are dubious in terms of their technical basis. This practice continues to be upheld, although the update to the product standard has now rendered the basis unfounded.  The introduction of the AoC document for pipe liners is another reason to deviate from the unique German path.

The new version of the international product standard for cured-in-place pipe lining, ISO 11296-4, introduced a number of changes in 2018. New terms such as ‘design wall thickness’ and ‘composite’ necessitate greater adjustments for the industry than might initially be apparent. What will planners, manufacturers, testing institutes and construction companies need to consider in future? The following presents a technical article on how theory can be translated into practice, thereby ensuring greater transparency.

Christmas is just around the corner and the year 2021 is drawing to a close. Looking back, we can say that we have also mastered this year's challenges well - also and especially thanks to our loyal customers! Thank you very much for the great cooperation and the trust you have placed in us.

With a Christmas donation campaign, we would like to do good together with you again this year.

We hereby have to inform you that with a heavy heart we have decided to cancel the International Application Meeting on January 13, 2022. The decision was not easy for us, because after two years we were already very much looking forward to the personal exchange with our users. However, as the current pandemic situation has recently come to a head again, we consider it inappropriate to hold an event with over 100 participants and many contact opportunities now.

To enable us to successfully kick off the New Year together with renewed vigor, we would like to inform you of our upcoming company vacations at our Saerbeck plant.
