Contractors who have worked against the clock, first identifying the source of a leak and then working to remove a damaged section of pipe and replace it with a new stretch, will recognise the value of trenchless technology.
Trenchless technology is born from a need to make engineering more efficient, more cost effective, and more environmentally friendly. When exploring pipe rehabilitation and repair, it considers the damage caused by timely and costly pipe replacement and seeks to replace that replacement with a less invasive form of rehabilitation.
CIPP liners have fast become the preferred method of pipe rehabilitation, representing trenchless technology at its best. First constructed in 1971 by Eric Wood, Insituform’s founder, here are a few reasons why we continue to be the best at what we do.
What Contractors Need in a Trenchless Technology Supplier
Contractors are the ones you call in the event of a crisis. When that crisis concerns a damaged or leaking pipe, the priority is always a fast response, underpinned by the ability to quickly identify the problem and find a way to fix it.
In the case of a damaged pipe that is leaking clean water or waste, contractors need access to reliable products that are adaptable to the conditions of the site they’re working on. They need to adhere to environmental standards, and they need to have access to the support they need to guarantee excellent installation.
CIPP liners, manufactured by Insituform, are the best of the best. Made using up to 75% recycled material, with Insituform’s commitment to recycling around 90% of the waste produced during that manufacturing process, sustainability is at the heart of Insituform’s CIPP design. The liners are embedded with resin, which creates an impenetrable layer on the inside of the pipe, reliable against internal pressures and external forces, giving the pipe a new lease of life in record time.
What’s more, CIPP liners are suitable for everything from remote environments to inner city projects, ensuring a quick means of rehabilitating pipes to minimise local disruption and environmental damage.
Finally, there is no better way to highlight the reliability required by contractors than looking back at Insituform’s case studies and past projects. Most notably, the first ever pipe to be successfully rehabilitated using CIPP felt liners, which is still in full working order today, more than 50 years later.
Why Distributors Value Strong Manufacturer Partnerships
Having covered the practical benefits of Insituform’s CIPP liners, let’s consider the needs of the distributors who represent the brand and its products.
Distributors are the mouthpiece of Insituform for engineers and contractors across the industry. Their role is to highlight and communicate the benefits of CIPP liners to those who require pipe rehabilitation solutions. So, why Insituform?
For distributors, Insituform isn’t just the founding organisation behind CIPP solutions. Nor is it merely the name behind products which are sustainable and made using recycled materials. It is also the source of knowledge, of industry-leading training, and of long-term supply consistency.
Insituform’s collection spans standard CIPP liners alongside countless other versions for different environmental conditions and situations, ensuring a solution for all needs. The standardised testing process and rigorous commitment to pipe rehabilitation for pipes spanning a broad range of diameters from 70mm right up to 2,500mm means that Insituform is positioned as a source of diverse solutions for different needs.
For distributors, the reputation of Insituform, backed by the longevity of its solutions and the diversity of its products, means that it is an excellent source of quality products.

Insituform isn’t just a trusted and reliable provider of CIPP liners and trenchless solutions. It is also the founding organisation behind CIPP, and the original manufacturer of trenchless pipe repair solutions.
As such, Insituform is recognised by both distributors and contractors as being a source of authority on the market, backed by experience and longevity.
Insituform also offers comprehensive training and long-term support for the local engineers and contractors who use its products.
