Our Services
CURED IN PLACE PIPE LINING (CIPP)
A tremendously fast "Zero Dig" way for size for size rehabilitation of 75mm to 1800mm sewer and industrial waste pipelines. It entails installing a patented Glass Reinforced liner inside an existing pipe.
PIPE CRACKING
A minimal dig way for size for size and upsizing rehabilitation of pipelines. Suitable for 50mm to 1200mm potable water, sewer, or industrial fluid pipelines.
Slip
Lining
Installation of a smaller diameter pipeline into existing host pipe, then the annulus is grouted.
HIGH PRESSURE WATER JET CLEANING
High pressure cleaning of pipelines using water or air. This may be augmented by mechanical methods for the cleaning of pipelines.
CCTV ASSESSMENT & REPORTING
Video footage and reporting of a pipeline network, showing the entire system with a 360 degree view, including full analysis, diagnostic and reporting
PATCH LINING
We can patch a certain section that is leaking in a pipeline using rubber patching or felt patching with various types of resins depending on the pipeline in question. We can do this remotely or man entry from diameters from 100mm up to 6000mm.
SPRAY IN PLACE PIPE LINING
Entails the internal or external coating from 50mm to 6000mm pipeline using specially designed equipment, processes and resins to extend the life span of currently installed pipelines by more than double their original design life span
Steel Pipelines for Slurry conveyance
We provide a turnkey solution for mines' slurry pipelines supplying Steel Pipe lined with HDPE or various resins for prolonged life of Slurry pipeline conveyance. We also offer in-situ rehabilitation of live slurry pipelines.
WATER & SEWER LEAK DETECTION
Detecting leaks within a pipeline infrastructure with full reporting and in depth diagnostics
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We have the requisite skills, knowledge and experience to manage pipeline rehabilitation projects of any magnitude. Our goal is to ensure that projects are executed within the planned timelines and budget.
Consultancy Services
We assess your water, sewer, gas, and or slurry conveyance challenges and advise on how best to overcome such problems. This includes proposing pipeline designs, and or selection of the fastest and most cost effective pipeline rehabilitation methodology.
TRAINING IN THE ABOVE METHODOLOGIES
At APS we strongly believe in skills transfer and therefore we have trained many contractors in various methodologies in the trenchless industry. Speak to us to see how we can help your company grow in this field.
ROBOTIC CUTTING
This is a fully robotic cutting machine used to open up lateral connections after lining has taken place. It is also used to remove root ingress, protruding laterals and concrete etc in a pipeline.
Horizontal Directional Drilling
The Installation of a new HDPE pipeline where excavating will be difficult, under roads, buildings, motorways etc

Cured-In-Place-Pipe (cipp)
- CIPP is the use of a fabric tube impregnated with polyester or epoxy resin. The tube is inserted into the existing pipeline and inflated against the pipe wall, then cured either at ambient temperature or, more commonly in all but the smallest diameters, by re-circulating hot water or steam. Some variations use ultra-violet light to cure the resin
- CIPP systems create a close-fit ‘pipe-within-a-pipe’ which has quantifiable structural strength and can be designed to suit various loading conditions.
- Employed mainly in sewer lines by installing a patented liner inside an existing pipeline.
- The extent of deterioration of current pipeline is irrelevant. Liner only requires the cavity of the existing line. What we are installing is a new pipe inside the existing dilapidated pipe.
- New lined pipe has a lifespan of minimum 50-years with 10-years guarantee on workmanship.
- This method is tremendously faster than the traditional “dig and replace” approach, with capacity to rehabilitate up to 200-meters per installation, per day.

PIPE CRACKING
- This specification covers the replacing of the existing pipes (ND 50 mm – 1200 mm) by pipe cracking construction technology.
- Pipe cracking is a well-established method for trenchless replacement of worn out pipes. This technology is used mainly for upsizing of existing water and sewer pipelines, to increase capacity.
- Typical pipe cracking involves the insertion of a conically shaped tool (cracking head) into the old pipe. The head fractures the old pipe and forces its fragments into the surrounding medium. At the same time the new pipe is pulled or pushed in behind the cracking head.
- Pipe cracking is also used to eliminate water and sewer leakages on existing pipelines whilst maintaining the same pipe diameter.
- Current water and sewer conveyance challenges being experienced across various cities, towns and villages in the sub-region and the continent at large, can be addressed using this method.
- Typical pipe cracking involves the insertion of a conically shaped tool (cracking head) into the old pipe. The head fractures the old pipe and forces its fragments into the surrounding medium. At the same time the new pipe is pulled or pushed in behind the cracking head.
- Whilst traditional methods accommodate up to 15% leakages, our technology is benchmarked on 0.00% leakages.
- Minimum disruption to land, vegetation, other installed infrastructure. Thus eco-friendly.
- This method is at least and conservatively 3x faster than the traditional “dig and replace” approach.
