Wavin Compact Pipe®

Trenchless rehabilitation solution for ageing pressurised pipelines.

Wavin Compact Pipe® is designed for use in existing pressure and gravity pipelines for the renewal of drinking water, gas, and wastewater pipelines made of steel, cast iron, or concrete.

It is installed close-fit into an existing pipeline, providing a new structural pipe with a lifetime of 80-100 years.

The tight-fitting Wavin Compact Pipe® acts as a fully independent pressure pipe, ensuring structural integrity even in damaged or cracked host pipes.

Once installation is completed, the Wavin Compact Pipe® will have the same qualities as standard polyethylene pipes.
