Spiraline X

March Cato Lining is the New Zealand agent for the supply & installation of Spiraline X.

Developed in Australia by Ibtech, Spiraline X is the latest and most advanced spiral lining technology in the trenchless pipeline renewal/rehabilitation industry.

Spiraline X is an expandable spiral wound uPVC liner designed for lining DN1350 to DN1200 gravity sewer and stormwater pipes. This lining process is ideal for renewing deteriorated pipes with faults like cracks, root intrusion, leaks (infiltration/exfiltration) and joint displacements.

  • Developed by ibtech, who bring over 25 years technical knowledge of the spiral wound lining system combined with 20 years practical on-site installation experience – the Spiraline X systems are the latest and most advanced spiral wound lining technology in the trenchless pipeline renewal / rehabilitation industry. Spiraline X also now includes the Z profile specifically designed to navigate long raduis bends less than 10 degrees and the FD profile ideal for longer fixed diameter pipes.
  • The advancements include liner composition, drive tray power, winding cage size etc resulting in:
    • faster installation rates with continuous high level quality control monitoring
    • allowing longer lengths to be installed
    • ability to carry out the installation from within a manhole with none to minimal management of existing flows
    • Able to maintain a circular internal bore.
  • Spiraline is designed to installed from manhole to manhole (or inlet to outlet for culverts) using purpose-built equipment with the installation process involving spirally engaging the male and female locks of the profiled wall uPVC strip (with silicone sealant), within the winding cage, to form the continuous liner within the host pipe.

Advanced Equipment

The Ibtech Spiraline X is by far the most advanced technology in the marketplace today for spiral wound liners.

The liner can be installed in most flow conditions with no flow management required. Spiraline X has been proven capable for lining in environments with heavy infiltration.

Easy installation

Designed to be installed from manhole to manhole to ensure the longevity of the full pipe length. The installation process involves spirally engaging the male and female locks of a profiled wall uPVC strip to form the liner within the host pipe. The liner is installed smaller than the host pipe and then expanded so that it is in contact with the host pipe. The result is a fully structural, sealed, and hydraulic efficient renewal of the host pipe without excavation.

The only access point required for installation is a standard diameter manhole cover. For lining the larger diameter host pipes (say DN525 and larger) it might be necessary to remove the concrete manhole lid for access.

The ductile but rigid, and corrosion resistant uPVC liner with silicone sealant can accommodate pipelines with curves less than 10 degrees or radius of curvatures greater than 50 metres.

Aiding the physical installation is the control system located in the front cab. This allows for managing/adjusting the settings, as well as monitoring and recording the full installation in real-time.
