Rehabilitation of an Existing Corrugated Steel Culvert under the Hume Highway, Broadford, Victoria

Abstract

ITS PipeTech has identified an exciting and innovative(patent protected) structural concrete lining system for renovating deteriorating and aging man entry pipelines, culverts and tunnels for water/wastewater, road and rail applications. Devel oped and widely used throughout the UK, the award winning Tunneline system is a simple in situ concrete lining technique utilising lightweight manhole accessible formwork and high strength pressure injected concrete.ITS has recently entered into an exclusive long term relationship with the M3 Group (the technology owners) to develop the Tunneline system throughout Australia. The first contract to be completed using this technology for Vic Roads has given the asset a new 100 year lease of life eliminating the risk to Australia's most prominent highway from potential damage had the culvert not been repaired.
