THE HEAVYWEIGHT 

IN INFRASTRUCTURE 

RELINING. REAL MUSCLE 

WHERE LOAD-BEARING 

CAPACITY IS CRITICAL.

SUMOLINE® is Nuflow’s strongest CIPP relining system. It has been specifically designed to structurally repair non-pressurised built infrastructure where load-bearing capacity is critical. SUMOLINE was developed for Australasian markets using the best of Australian and New Zealand engineering technology. It is manufactured, installed and guaranteed locally; which means 

end-to-end solutions, faster response times and

easy resolution of issues. 

Layers of fibre technology with advanced composites and epoxy resins are used to deliver fit-for-purpose repairs that have been custom-designed to suit the requirements of each job. This makes it ideal for repairs to load-bearing:

• medium to large bore stormwater and

         sewer pipes

• road and rail infrastructure
• box culverts
• manholes.

SUMOLINE creates a long-lasting, fully structural and incredibly strong pipe within a pipe without the need to dig, disrupt operations or disturb surrounding areas.

SUMOLINE.

Nuflow’s scientific, engineering and technical experts with in-house testing and production facilities has gained international recognition for delivering custom-designed, effective pipe-repair solutions without excavation in even the most challenging situations.

SUMOLINE was developed by Nuflow to cater to the needs of those responsible for the proactive and reactive management of medium to large bore load-bearing pipes and associated infrastructure. 

The SUMOLINE liner is pulled into position accurately and then cured to create a new, stronger and more efficient pipe inside the old. This complete relining of the inner wall of damaged pipes and infrastructure is far superior to spot patching and comes with warranties of up to 50 years*. Like all Nuflow relining products, SUMOLINE is a significantly better solution for damaged pipes and culverts in terms of:

• cost efficiency
• time savings over replacement
• fast response and installation times continuity of operations
• reduced impact on associated infrastructure, 
• users or other stakeholders
• minimising environmental impact.

SUMO SMART.

Designed by leading polymer and structural engineers, SUMOLINE complies with all manufacturing standards and can repair rounds (DN300 up to DN1800), box culverts, manholes, and similar applications.

SUMOLINE will not shrink, is permanently bonded to the host pipe and even has some capacity for curing under water. It creates smooth transitions over junctions and bends, and can be used for infrastructure of varying diameters, and in vertical, angled or horizontal pipes. The unique, thin profile of SUMOLINE combined with the seamless finish of the new lining usually results 

in overall improvements to flow capacity, and the trenchless (no-dig) technology means repairs can be carried out with minimal environmental impact and no significant disruption to usual operations. 

SUMO STRONG.

Nuflow’s SUMOLINE is able to achieve a flexural modulus of up to 8,000 MPa with a 8mm finished thickness utilising advanced composite design and 100% solids epoxy resin. It has the capacity to be adapted to suit various project specifications, enabling it to deliver optimum structural strength for each job. This ensures compliance with relevant design loadings for applications such as road and rail. Relined infrastructure will often have even greater strength than that of the original pipe.

NUFLOW®.

Nuflow® is a fully Australian-owned business operating throughout the Australasian region, where the product design, manufacture and installation are all part of an integrated and local process. This means they can:

• be highly responsive in situations requiring urgent attention
• offer the flexibility needed to accommodate clients’ specific needs, in terms of not only product design/ adaptation but also the installation process
• design unique solutions for extremely challenging circumstances

WHY RELINE ?

RELINING IS USUALLY THE FASTEST, SAFEST AND MOST COST-EFFECTIVE WAY TO REPAIR OR REHABILITATE PIPES AND ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE. 

ECONOMIC BENEFITS

✓ around 30 per cent cheaper (on average)

✓ most smaller jobs completed in one day

✓ little disruption to usual operations, service delivery, the public

✓ protection of stakeholder relations and income

✓ a permanent structural solution

✓ jointless technology preventing future breakdown, leakage, infiltration or invasion          from tree roots

✓ reduced destabilisation of nearby infrastructure

✓ reduced risk of damage to other services (electricity, telecommunications etc.)

✓ warranties of up to 50 years*, giving long term peace of mind.

SAFETY BENEFITS

✓ fewer WHS issues (generally no road closures, traffic management, excavation,                demolition, or infrastructure repair or restoration)

✓ reduced risk to users or the public

✓ no chemical residue/hazardous materials

✓ no risks associated with heavy machinery

FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS

✓ flow rates are usually maintained or improved

✓ significantly reduced likelihood of future problems in relined pipes

✓ some resins can be cured in water

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

✓ very little destabilisation and disturbance of surrounding soil/earth

✓ reduced impact upon sensitive natural species (insects, flora, fauna)

✓ reduced noise and air pollution

✓ fewer carbon emissions generated by relining materials and processes

✓ reduced waste in comparison to digging

and replacing

COMMUNITY AND CSR REPUTATION BENEFITS

✓ fewer negative impacts on users and the community

✓ fewer complaints resulting from invasive works

    (road closures, environmental damage, pollution concerns, lack of supply)

✓ greater capacity to preserve buildings and infrastructure of historical significance

✓ improved reputation and customer engagement through adoption of more environmentally-                responsible, sustainable and innovative practices
