📍 Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺

While some are already heading into the weekend, our equipment is still hard at work on site. This impressive shot shows an IMS vehicle integration equipped with a UV 8000 light in action against the backdrop of a stunning Sydney sunset. 🌅🚐💡

Moments like these remind us that trenchless rehabilitation is more than technology and equipment – it’s also about the people behind the projects, the partnerships we build and the shared commitment to keeping infrastructure running around the world.

As another busy week comes to an end, we would like to thank our customers, partners and followers for being part of our journey. 🤝
We wish you all a great start to the weekend and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the first early-summer days wherever you are. ☀️

🚛🇨🇿 Roadshow through the Czech Republic – Bringing trenchless technology directly to our customers

This week, our team consisting of Christian Schönfeld, Christopher Rings and Nicolai Seifert is on the road across the Czech Republic with our rehabilitation vehicle, showcasing the breadth of our portfolio and demonstrating how our systems perform in real-world applications.

The roadshow kicked off on Monday in Prague at Kanal Bros., one of the trusted partners of Line Control, where we welcomed customers from the greater Prague area for live presentations and technical discussions.

On Tuesday, the team visited a leading sewer rehabilitation company in the region to present our latest technologies and exchange ideas on current industry challenges and opportunities.

Today, the roadshow continues at Line Control, one of our most important partners in the Czech market. Together, we are showcasing our equipment and demonstrating how integrated trenchless solutions can support rehabilitation projects efficiently and reliably.

Equipment showcased on site:

PROcure – LED curing system for controlled UV curing of liners in sewer diameters up to DN 500
NANO E – compact electric cutter for small-diameter sewer rehabilitation
MICRO S automatic – advanced milling system for house connections (DN 75–DN 250) with high maneuverability, axial feed and climbing function
MULTIdrums 400 & 1000 – compact drum systems with easy handling, robust wheels for uneven terrain, flexible adjustment incl. vertical inversion, and efficient liner guidance

Events like these are a great opportunity to bring technology closer to users, exchange practical experiences and strengthen partnerships across the industry.
