STOPPING THE BLEED City Decides to Renew Instead of Loop a Dead End Main

摘要

AFTER THREE YEARS of development and testing, the first five installations using the Tomahawk BluKote Airborne Lining System are in the ground in Ontario and Quebec. The projects were completed from June to October by Logistique Saint-Laurent, an Enterprise of the Gilbert Group. The first project, completed in June, involved the relining of 460 m of 150 mm cast and ductile iron watermain, with some PVC repair sleeves, in North Bay, Ontario. The dead-end line serviced a small residential area and three large commercial properties along Graham Drive. Developed by Envirologics Engineering Inc., in Bracebridge, Ontario, the Tomahawk System initially hit the market as a cleaning system that uses rocks as the abrasive and air flow to pull the rocks and debris through the line cleaning and drying it with little to no water. Envirologics added a disinfection system and now the airborne lining. Logistique Saint-Laurent is the first licensee of the Tomahawk BluKote Airborne Lining System.
