Who Needs TALR?

If your city falls into one or more of the following categories, our Trenchless Automated Leakage Repair (TALR) could be the solution for you:

Water stressed markets or where water is a conserved resource
High levels of leakage
Strong demand to reduce energy and GHG levels
Regulatory requirements for reduction of leakage
Aging buried water infrastructure
High social and environmental awareness of water conservation
Governmental policies and incentives for improving water shortages

TALR becomes the game-changing player at the point when find-&-fix (a.k.a Active Leak Detection) is no longer effective or economically viable for the water utility. Curapipe’s breakthrough technology, which utilizes the pipe system as its conduit, is a self-detection and repair solution integrated into a single system that also measures and maintains a database of the exact level of leakage repaired. TALR is a very cost effective alternative to leakage-driven pipeline replacement.

The arguments for TALR are compelling:

Short-term value

Save replacement or renewal of buried water distribution infrastructure that is still serviceable
Save undetected leakage (50% to 70% of total leakage) inaccessible by standard find-&-fix intervention methods
Save pumping energy, carbon emissions and water treatment chemicals
Avoid social and environmental disruption

Long-term value

Constitute a long-term cure for the duration of the remaining serviceability of buried water distribution infrastructure
Contribute to increasing water supply headroom through bulk leakage reclamation (analogous to a water treatment plant with zero operational expense)
Increase the distribution efficiency of costly new sources of drinking water (e.g. desalination)
