Ageing infrastructure, tight budgets, and 24/7 service demands mean assets must be restored in place, quickly, without taking essential systems offline. Water and wastewater assets deteriorate from every direction — abrasive grit, corrosive effluent, and aggressive hydrogen-sulphide attack that eats concrete and steel alike.
Clean- and dirty-water pumps, rising mains, valves, penstocks, wet wells, screening equipment, and vast amounts of concrete infrastructure suffer erosion, corrosion, and microbially induced (H₂S) attack. Concrete in sewers and treatment works can degrade alarmingly fast where sulphide conditions develop.
Belzona provides erosion- and chemical-resistant coatings, metal repair composites, and concrete repair and lining systems engineered for water and wastewater service — including protection against H₂S attack. Rumford Industrial Group applies them in situ to extend the life of critical infrastructure.

Before
A roughly 6 ft diameter riveted steel water main, a century old and 20 ft underground, was losing wall thickness and weeping at rivets and laps.
- ReplacementNot Feasible
- AccessUnderground
- Shutdown AllowedNone
After — Belzona
Rivets and laps coated, then over-wrapped with Belzona SuperWrap to ISO 24817 — repaired live, with the city water supply never shut off.
