Advanced Pipe Rehabilitation Equipment for Modern Cities

The role of piping networks in urban infrastructure can never be understated. Piping networks in modern-day cities help in supplying drinking water across the region, while at the same time aiding in effective sewage management. However, since these piping networks are used continuously, they undergo wear and tear, and hence regular maintenance and rehabilitation work is required. Pipe rehabilitation equipment are tools and machines which perform this function of repair and maintenance.

Different pipe rehabilitation equipment available today

Pipe rehabilitation is an umbrella term for various types of repairs and maintenance activities. For the smooth execution of these repair works, different equipment is necessary. For instance, for cleaning the piping system a high-pressure jetting unit is necessary. This equipment is capable of raising the water pressure up to 1500 bar which helps is pressure cleaning of the pipeline. Similarly, impregnation unit is an equipment used for uniform distribution of resin throughout the liner. Technological advancements have also led to deployment of rehabilitation robots which expertly find the cracks and leaks in the piping systems. Many-a-times, rehabilitation robots are also used to find out the faulty connections and deformations in these piping systems. If found, heating units are used to repair the deformations and bring back the circular shape of the pipe.

Important growth drivers of the industry

First and foremost, the growing number of infrastructure improvement projects taking place across the globe is anticipated to create numerous growth opportunities in the pipe rehabilitation equipment market. Additionally, the rapid pace of urbanization and industrialization in developing economies of the world is expected to drive the market forward. Moreover, a surge in demand for underground sewage systems for residential and non-residential building sectors is projected to augment the growth rate of the market in the coming period.

The pipe rehabilitation industry is studied on the lines of type, diameter, and applications. When analyzed on the basis of type, the CIPP segment is anticipated to gather an absolute revenue of $518.0 million during the 2023-2032 period. However, the pipe bursting equipment and others segments will collectively hold a revenue of $517.8 million during the same period. When studied based on region, the Africa pipe rehabilitation equipment market is estimated to rise with the fastest CAGR of 12.8% from 2023 to 2032.

Innovative product launches by several companies in the industry are also expected to play a huge role in strengthening the position of the market in the coming period. For example, Trelleborg AB, a leading engineering company based in Sweden, recently announced the launch of Trelleborg Pipecure Flex™. A liner fabric coated with polyurethane, this product offers a solution to fix cracks and leaks in concrete and PVC pipes. In October 2021, Waterline Renewal Technologies announced the launch of LRI System, a fast-curing process for pipe rehabilitation. Such product launches have widened the scope of the industry drastically, in that they have encouraged other companies to invest heavily in R&D activities.

The global pipe rehabilitation equipment market is, thus, expected to witness massive growth owing to rapid pace of urbanization and industrialization across the globe. The market in Africa is anticipated to be the fastest growing and product launches by major companies are predicted to open up new growth avenues for the market.
