Montabaur introduces revolutionary wrapping processes for wastewater renovation

The Montabaur associations set new standards in Westerwaldkreis! As the first municipality, they use the revolutionary winding tube process to renovate large wastewater pipes. This innovative process that has its origin in Japan enables old pipes to dress and stabilize from the inside without digging out. During an impressive demonstration in Holler, representatives of neighboring communities were also present to convince themselves of the advantages of this technology.

Every day, households and companies produce tons of waste water, and the maintenance of the sewage pipes is essential. Inliner procedures are used to avoid the elaborate excavation work. For larger pipes, the diaper tube process is the solution! Michael Maurer, project manager at the wastewater works, emphasizes: "The procedure can be used during operation without the channel having to be blocked. Only a connection shaft is opened. This saves time, costs and protects the environment!"

The technology behind the wrap tube process

A 1.2 kilometer tube is currently being renovated in Holler, with the longest section 300 meters. After the renovation, the diameter of the pipe is reduced from 400 to 350 millimeters - a small disadvantage, which, however, does not affect the amount of sewage. The VG works operate a comprehensive line network of 380 km and 60 km of connecting collectors that efficiently lead the wastewater to the sewage treatment plants.

The wrap tube process itself is a fascinating process: A wide plastic tape is introduced into the pipe and wrapped in a new, dense discharge surface. A metal support construction ensures stability during the mortar injection before the line is ready for use again. "We will continue to use this proven technology in the future," promises Maurer, underlining VG Montabaur's pioneering role in wastewater technology.
