In a first for the water industry, Aquam’s Serline lead pipe lining technology has met the requirements of a new water industry standard (WIS) for the in situ lining of lead service and communication pipes.

The WIS 4-02-03 for Operational Requirements: In Situ Polymeric Lining of Service Pipes was published in November 2016. Aquam was independently assessed by health and safety organisation NSF International in March 2017 and complied with all the requirements.

Two Tornado cleaning units have been added to Aquam’s fleet as the company invests to meet growing demand for pipe maintenance services. Aquam’s Whirlwind and LeanClean systems for air vortex cleaning are driven by vehicle-mounted Tornados used singly or in series, depending on the application.
