Experience & expertise - For the highest demands
Over 12 000 km of liner manufactured since mid-1990 speak for themselves.
Our application technology team, with a total of 70 years of construction site experience, provides expert support on construction sites at home and abroad and is in constant dialogue between the installation team and the manufacturer.
Here is a selection of current construction sites.
With Solmex in Croatia
Life is a highway...!
This special project on the HAC-A7 motorway in Rijeka, Croatia, presented our customer Solmex with three challenges.
A total length of the section to be maintained and thus a liner length of 236.5 metres.
Limited space at the installation shafts with a narrow clearance and an offset and difficult-to-access sewer manhole.
Limited cable length of the UV curing system. To get around the problem of the curing system's cable range not being sufficient for the total length, the liner was cured from two sides. The other challenges mentioned were mastered with absolute confidence by the experienced Solmex team in combination with the excellent handling of our BB2.5. Manuel Geissler, who supported the @Solmex team on site as our application technology manager, was just as satisfied as the installation team and site management with the efficiency of the double-sided curing and the excellent result achieved.Many thanks to the Solmex team for the excellent cooperation and for providing the photos.

With CGI in Canada
What a project, what a team effort! Together with CGI Environnement, we rehabilitated a section of pipeline approximately 165 metres long with diameters ranging from DN 1400 to 1500.
The starting point was a route with significant changes in direction, a challenging site situation and extremely wintry conditions. Conditions and geometries for which our BB FLEX is perfectly suited.
The logistics alone presented a challenge in themselves, given that between production and installation there was around three weeks of overseas transport and a ‘welcome temperature’ on site of up to -19 degrees and snowfall.
Our BB FLEX 1400-1500, with a wall thickness of 19.6 mm, peroxide resin and additional external protection, performed extremely well despite the conditions. Damage to the subgrade of the route, missing wall sections and protruding steel bolts required extensive preparatory and protective measures.
Visually, very good curing was already evident on site, which has since been confirmed by laboratory tests.
Our experienced site manager, together with CGI’s highly prepared and competent team, was able to achieve an excellent result.
The project impressively demonstrates how high-performance GRP pipe lining systems such as our BB FLEX can be safely deployed even under extremely challenging conditions.
Long transport routes, a winter construction site, large pipe diameters and pronounced changes in direction, a wide range of necessary protective measures, and a material start at just above 0 degrees clearly demonstrate the successful interplay of production, logistics, application technology and sales, working side by side with a strong installer.
With Nuflow and Southern Relining in Rockhampton, Australia
Australia sets a new milestone!
Largest BB Vertical Liner successfully installed.
Rockhampton is on top form and, at the end of July, set a new record with the installation of the largest BB2.5 VERTICAL to date, demonstrating precision, teamwork and high-tech excellence.
Before installation: intensive training for the Australian partner companies covering the basics and the entire installation process.
A shaft with the impressive dimensions of DN 1200 to DN 1500 awaited the team. A scale that makes you pause for a moment and commands respect even from experienced teams.
And then? Mr Vertical Stefan in his element! Precise planning, modern UV system technology and teamwork at its finest ensured a smooth installation.
Standard equipment was combined with innovative tools to ensure a perfect fit and stability on this scale. The result: a seamless, durable liner that will keep the shaft in good condition for decades.
Technical mastery combined with international knowledge transfer is what makes this project so incredibly special. The Australian teams put the practical training into practice independently immediately afterwards and gave consistently positive feedback.
This record-breaking installation is far more than just a successful rehabilitation. It sends a signal to the industry that, with the right combination of preparation, technology and team spirit, even XXL dimensions can be mastered safely and economically. Australia’s largest BB2.5 VERTICAL liner sets a new standard in trenchless shaft rehabilitation. Much more to come!
A huge thank you to Ben Byrne, Andrew Kawalewski and Lyle Kawalewski. Thank you for making this incredible project possible and for your tireless efforts.
With the COLLAS Group in Lille / Northern France
Today we would like to take you to Lille in the north of France. There, we found irregular, outdated pipes that had already been repaired and repaired several times, exacerbating the current situation in the already uneven, brick-built sewer.
The solution: a total of 98 metres of BB2.5 DN 1300, which, thanks to the folded inner foil, adapted perfectly to the prevailing conditions and led to a perfect result.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the great team at COLAS for the excellent preparation and organisation of the construction site and the smooth collaboration.
With UAB Pozemines Linijos in Lithuania
‘Sveiki’ from Lithuania. Back in April, they went on a roadshow through Lithuania together with Artūras Račkauskas from Poli and Georgi Barzanov and Marc Albrecht from ProKASRO Mechatronik GmbH.
A total of six BB2.5VERTICAL shaft liners were installed in 5 cities (Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, Vilnius) and demonstrated to interested representatives from politics, utility companies and engineering offices.
We are proud to be working with UAB
Požeminės Linijos, one of our longest-standing and most loyal customers, as a strategic partner for market development in Lithuania with the BB2.5VERTICAL for manhole rehabilitation. The installed manhole liners are the first UV manhole liners in the entire Baltic region and UAB Požeminės Linijos is the only installation company in the Baltic region certified by us.
With VALENTIN Environnement in Dunkerque
The French city of Dunkerque (Dunkirk) is undoubtedly well known. Located close to the Belgian border, it is one of the most important harbour towns in France with a population of around 90,000.
A whole 3 months of preparatory work on the pipes was necessary to prepare one of the city's main pipelines for renovation. The installation of our BB2.5 liner with DN 1150 and a total length of 69 metres is the first of a total of 6 BB2.5 liners to be installed for the renovation.
Particularly noteworthy is the overall size of the project, the extensive preparatory work for the rehabilitation and, as always, the excellent and cooperative partnership with VALENTIN TP and the experienced rehabilitation team. THANK YOU!
Colleagues supervising the installation on site last week: Carlo Murinni (Sales France and Italy) as well as Ronny Siegel and Rico Schwabe (Application Technology).
With Abaiti in São Paulo, Brazil
Passion, teamwork & precision – Abaiti and Team Brandenburger Liner take the lead
In the heart of São Paulo, on a large, busy avenue, DN 1200 and DN 1500 pipes were installed over a total length of around 100 metres. Access to the construction site was only possible under difficult conditions. Our Head of Application Engineering, Manuel, was on site to oversee the project and, together with the Abaiti installation team, was able to overcome all the on-site difficulties. This clearly demonstrates how important experienced support from the manufacturer is, particularly for challenging projects.
With this project, the Abaiti team is setting new technical standards in the Brazilian market, and we are certain that this is just the beginning.
A strong presence in Australia with Tucker & Sons
The BB2.5VERTICAL was used four times as part of the Yarra Valley Water Project with M Tucker & Sons, our certified installer and strong local partner. All 4 sites were located in ecologically sensitive areas. The main pipeline required special care due to very high levels of hydrogen sulphide gas and the weather conditions with very high rainfall posed a major challenge for the installers.
