CIPP in Poland and Europe
CIPP is the most important rehabilitation technology for sewer systems worldwide. This is due to the flexibility of the half-fabricated product, which is finished on site while using different hardening methods.
The market situation in European countries differs. The technology is highly used in central, western and eastern Europe; highly developed markets are Germany, France, BENELUX, Poland and Czechoslovakia.
Approximately 2 000 000 km of public sewers are laid in the grounds of Europe. And with an estimated damage rate of minimum 20% about 400 000 km have to be renewed.
Let’s have a closer look on some markets like Germany, France, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
