Pipe Core is expanding its trenchless solutions portfolio with the Smart Lock structural point repair system, now available across Australia and New Zealand.
As the exclusive distributor of Smart Lock across Australia and New Zealand, Pipe Core is making one of the industry’s most efficient structural point repair solutions more accessible to contractors, councils and utilities.
Designed and manufactured in Australia, Smart Lock provides a permanent mechanical repair for defective pipe joints, cracks and localised structural damage without excavation.
The system can be installed efficiently, allowing contractors to complete repairs efficiently while minimising disruption to surrounding infrastructure and the community.
A project beneath one of Australia’s major horse racing venues demonstrates the capability of the Smart Lock system.
The pipeline required structural rehabilitation beneath critical racing infrastructure, where excavation was simply not an option.
With uninterrupted venue operations essential, the contractor needed a solution that could be installed through the existing pipeline while delivering a permanent structural repair.
Using the Smart Lock system, the contractor restored the structural integrity of the pipeline through existing access points, eliminating the need for excavation and allowing the venue to continue operating throughout the works.
Unlike traditional resin-based point repairs, where the installation packer must remain in place while the resin cures, the Smart Lock system mechanically locks into position immediately.
This allows the packer to be removed straight away so installers can continue to the next repair while the silicate resin cures in place.
The result is a more efficient installation process and reduced downtime, particularly where access windows are limited or project schedules are under pressure.
Manufactured in Australia, Smart Lock has been approved by major Australian asset owners and water authorities and has been successfully used across sewer, stormwater and other underground pipeline applications.
As the exclusive distributor for Australia and New Zealand, Pipe Core supplies the complete Smart Lock range, supported by technical guidance, product selection assistance and installer training to help contractors achieve the best outcome for every project.
