Scott & Fyfe (Tayport), the Scotland-based, employee-owned global technical textiles and advanced materials company known for its fiberglass cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) solutions, underlined its international market reputation with the appointment of Waterline Renewal Technologies (Ottawa, Canada), as the exclusive North American distributor for its AlphaShield composite pipe-lining technology.
AlphaShield is a durable pipe rehabilitation system designed to deliver a seamless, efficient and long-lasting solution for pipeline restoration. Known as CIPP technology, AlphaShield enables damaged pipeline infrastructure to be repaired without excavation or digging up of the pipe, thereby minimizing disruption and extending the pipeline’s lifespan. The end result is a seamless and durable “new” pipe that is highly resistant to leaks, cracks and wear and tear, all without disturbing the roads, landscape or walls above the pipe.
“Waterline Renewal Technologies is appointed as the sole distributor of AlphaShield products in the U.S. and Canada for a number of markets,” says Michelle Quadrelli, managing director at Scott & Fyfe. “Having worked closely with Waterline Renewal Technologies for several years, and with over 40 kilometers of pipe liners shipped to the U.S. each month, we know they bring deep product knowledge and a strong commitment to customer service. This formal partnership strengthens our ability to serve a wider and growing customer base with shorter lead times and more responsive local support, ensuring our customers receive the high-performance solutions they expect, with even greater efficiency and care. ”
AlphaShield is designed and manufactured in Scotland, building on its more than 160 years of history and heritage in Tayport, Fife.
