Fixing Leaking Pipes with Tubogel

Cappagh Browne has been at the forefront of trialling Tubogel with Southern Water, starting in 2019. We sent employees to Munich to develop our expertise in this technology by learning from Remondis, a German company which has successfully used Tubogel to repair thousands of kilometres of wastewater pipes. This allowed us to set up a specialist team to deliver this innovative service and we are now rehabilitating over 5km of wastewater network in small villages across Kent and Hampshire using the technique.

Tubogel allows us to seal wastewater infrastructure from the risk of infiltration, without causing the disruption associated with digging or other large footprint works. This is particularly important when we carry out repairs in and around private property. The technology enables us to deliver the most effective solution without risking damage to existing infrastructure.

We are also branching out to other water companies by hosting demonstrations on our existing sites, and also doing trials on their own network as well.

At Cappagh Browne we are committed to minimising our impact on the environment through optimising low and no-dig techniques like Tubogel. Above all, we innovate to provide the best service for our customers, helping us to get the job done right, the first time, and every time.
