Further training for tomorrow’s specialists as the key to success in trenchless pipe rehabilitation.

Many industries and regions are experiencing bottlenecks in filling vacancies. As a result, many companies are under increasing pressure to recruit and retain qualified specialists. The trenchless pipe rehabilitation sector is also affected by this.

In a sector where efficiency and technical expertise are essential, trenchless pipe rehabilitation faces unique challenges. SAERTEX multiCom’s commitment to training ensures that both current and future infrastructure needs can be met with minimal disruption and high-quality results.

To address the need for skilled professionals, GRP pipe manufacturer SAERTEX multiCom has focused on providing advanced training for both its employees and external specialists by setting up its own training center, the SAERTEX multiCampus. In partnership, SAERTEX multiCom and local partner S1E Ltd, held the first SAERTEX-LINER installation training program in the UK this year, providing participants with a comprehensive course on trenchless pipe rehabilitation using SAERTEX-LINERS.

The success of a company depends largely on qualified specialists. Without them, economic success can hardly be achieved. However, as the recruitment of suitable personnel is not always successful these days, vacancies can occur. These vacancies can affect a company's overall productivity and ultimately lead to considerable economic losses. Companies are therefore challenged to act and implement measures in their organizations. Flexible working hours, working from home and other benefits are often chosen approaches to increase a company's attractiveness as an employer. This can improve the chances of finding employees. However, it remains to be seen whether these employees are sufficiently qualified.

SAERTEX multiCom and S1E have therefore decided to actively tackle the qualifications of external specialists themselves. Chris Watson (Technical Sales UK & Ireland at SAERTEX multiCom) points out. “Our training program is designed to provide participants with exactly the theoretical and practical knowledge they need to successfully master the challenges on construction sites. Only with qualified specialists urgently needed infrastructural construction measures on dilapidated old pipes can be carried out successfully. “

In close cooperation between SAERTEX multiCom and S1E, the first SAERTEX-LINER® Installation Training took place this year at the S1E Head Office in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. During the two-day installation training course, participants learned more about the products and technologies required for trenchless pipe rehabilitation with the SAERTEX-LINER®. This included practical installation training, theoretical expert knowledge, and certification from SAERTEX multiCom, making them certified installers. These certificates are proof of quality, as installers can use them to demonstrate their expertise in the UV-CIPP process. Dave McCarthy (CIPP Lining Development Manager at S1E) emphasizes: “Our training programs are qualifying professionals while helping to raise the quality standards of UV-CIPP installations across the UK. By investing in skills development, we are creating a strong foundation for the future of trenchless pipe rehabilitation.”

SAERTEX multiCom invites companies and specialists to join the next SAERTEX-LINER® Installation Training in Spring 2025 at S1E. Equip your team with the skills needed to thrive in this critical industry. Please get in contact with SAERTEX multiCom or S1E if you are interested.
