The advantages of renovating gravity pipes: Techniques and solutions from IBG HydroTech
The infrastructure we use every day is often invisible to us. Our wastewater systems, which are critical to the health and well-being of our communities, are one of them.

Over time, however, even these invisible structures can suffer wear and damage. One such structure, the gravity sewer, plays an essential role in the sewer system. The rehabilitation of gravity sewers is therefore an essential part of infrastructure maintenance. In this blog post, we will explain the benefits of gravity sewer rehabilitation and IBG HydroTech’s advanced techniques and solutions.
What is a gravity flow pipe?
Gravity sewers are an integral part of wastewater systems where wastewater flows by gravity instead of being transported by pumps or pressure. Over time, however, these pipes can be damaged by wear, ageing, corrosion and other influences.
Why is the rehabilitation of gravity pipes important?
A faulty gravity sewer can cause a range of problems, from environmental pollution and health risks to costly repairs and business interruptions. Early and effective rehabilitation of gravity sewers can help to minimize these risks and ensure the longevity of the infrastructure.
Innovative solutions for the rehabilitation of gravity pipes
Thanks to technological advances driven by companies such as IBG HydroTech, the rehabilitation of gravity sewer pipes is now more efficient and less disruptive than ever before. Instead of invasive, labor-intensive and time-consuming excavation work, damage to gravity sewer pipes can now be repaired trenchlessly.
The principle of trenchless renovation
Trenchless rehabilitation uses advanced techniques such as pipe lining. In this method, a liner (a tube soaked in resin) is inserted into the damaged pipe and then cured to form a new, robust inner layer. This technique has developed steadily over the last few decades and is now standard on many construction sites around the world.
