DELIVERING RESILIENCY
We have a proven track record of successful installations across North America, and we have developed deep expertise and advanced state of the art of this unique seamless structural water technology (trenchless).
Municipalities across the world are experiencing challenges in maintaining aging infrastructure and building resiliency. This challenge is made more critical as climate change is causing increasingly severe environmental conditions and events that threaten water mains infrastructure. Water mains renewal extends the life of existing infrastructure at a reduced cost with minimal disruption to our communities. Most of all, the volume of infrastructure renewal that can be delivered annually far exceeds that of traditional approaches, such as the replacement of these assets.
DELIVERING RESILIENCY
Over the past 20 years, ALTRA has become recognized as the best technique to renew aging water mains. More than 350 North American cities and more than 2,313 km of water mains have been successfully lined with ALTRA. The next generation of ALTRA Proven Water Technology has been gaining a lot of attention recently, following rigorous testing at Cornell University’s Geotechnical Lifelines Large-Scale Testing Facility that established the technology as the only solution proven to withstand extreme seismic and extreme environmental events to protect water main infrastructure lifelines. In fact, tests proved that this solution would have easily withstood both the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake sequence in Christchurch, New Zealand.

OUR APPROACH
OUR APPROACH
Water service connections are robotically re-instated from the interior of the pipe, or by tapping a new service from the exterior. In addition to laboratory testing of liner samples, the liner quality is inspected using camera. All valves, hydrants, and sub-standard water services are replaced as part of the work, resulting in a renovated water system.
