Wilkinson Environmental Ltd has invested in the latest Top Hat lateral repairs systems.

The Top Hat system has been developed to repair faulty/damaged connections and to prevent root growth around the defected connection without the need for costly excavations.

This system is design to work in conjunction with the CIP (Cured in Place) lining system, but can also be used on its own if the pipe work surrounding the defective connection is structurally sound.

In some cases, where poor quality contracts have left the pipe work intruding into the main sewer, a hydraulic cutter is required to grind back the intruding connection before the Top Hat can be installed.
