estrain™ Sewer Pipe was specifically designed by Iplex for both new sewer networks and for the repair and replacement of underground gravity sewer infrastructure. As a result of customer feedback and demand, Iplex is expanding its range of Restrain Sewer Pipe by adding a 375mm diameter pipe to its offering. Product Manager Andrew Omer-Cooper says the DN375 is a welcome addition to the already successful Restrain range. “Now alongside our broader Restrain range, we’re better suited to helping customers quickly and safely installing jacking pipe,” he says. Manufactured by Iplex in Australia, Restrain is suitable for many different installation methods, including open trench and trenchless installations: such as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), auger boring or guided boring, micro-tunnelling and more. Restrain meets strict national and product standards,
and also has a positive WSAA appraisal. “The use of Restrain as a jacking pipe just goes to show how versatile this trenchless PVC pipe can be. The customers who have already experienced the speed and compatibility with existing DWV and maximised hydraulic capacity of using Restrain will now be able to experience this in yet another trenchless application,” Omer-Cooper says. Omer-Cooper says Restrain is an Australian made product which ensures a strong local supply chain, which gives Iplex the flexibility to meet customer project needs. “The product is also made using Best Environmental Practice PVC and is a Green Building Council Australia certified product, that is very important to Iplex,” he says. The introduction of Restrain DN375 is yet another example of how Iplex is driving innovation, improving its product offering to meet customer needs and continuing to provide exceptional customer support.
