starline® Process
The starline® process is a rehabilitation method we developed for the permanent, trenchless restoration of pressure pipes weakened by aging, using fabric or pressure hose relining. Our efficient technologies are available as an alternative to open-cut construction for virtually all projects in the gas, water, wastewater, and industrial sectors.
In the starline® process, an adhesive-filled, seamless, round-woven, plastic-coated fabric hose or a glass-fiber-reinforced liner is inverted into the weakened or fracture-prone old pipeline using positive pressure. This preserves the hydraulic pipe cross-section and permanently, quickly, and efficiently restores operational safety while maintaining the existing structural integrity.

hydros® Method
The hydros® process was developed by KARL WEISS Technologies GmbH for the fast and cost-effective trenchless replacement of pressure pipelines (service and supply lines). Unlike other rehabilitation methods, the hydros® process completely removes the brittle old pipe material from the pipeline zone and the soil.
The name hydros® stands for “hydraulic pipe pulling and splitting method.” To replace the pipe, the new pipe string is attached to the end of the old pipeline using an adapter. Using an extremely quiet (<, 55 dB(A)) and vibration-free hydraulic pulling device, a new pipe made of any material is pulled into the ground at the same time that the old pipes are being extruded.
