TWO MAJOR UK water companies have recently trialled an innovative pipe cleaning method developed by clean pipe experts Comprex and implemented by IES Utilities. This technique, which has been widely used in Europe for more than 25 years, offers a promising solution to maintenance challenges.

Impulse Cleaning uses computer-programmed pulses of medical-grade air, combined with a small amount of water flow, to create high-velocity waves that dislodge various types of build up in pipes.

The process is effective for pipes ranging from 25mm to 1200mm in diameter, covering most of the UK’s water distribution network. The technique involves minimal service disruption, requires no excavation (pipes are accessed through existing hydrants) and uses just 20% of the water compared to conventional techniques.
