MONTRÉAL, April 20, 2020
/PRNewswire/ - LOGISTEC Corporation ("LOGISTEC") (TSX: LGT.A)
(TSX: LGT.B), a marine and environmental services provider, is
pleased to announce that its next generation of Aqua-Pipe water
technology is now NSF 61 certified. This important
certification opens yet another door for this technology to solve a
myriad of challenges faced by municipalities and communities around
the world dealing with health issues associated with aging water
main infrastructure, and to protect water mains in cases of extreme
seismic activity, floods and other natural disasters.
LOGISTEC's next generation of Aqua-Pipe solution has been
gaining a lot of attention recently, following rigorous testing
last December at Cornell University's
Geotechnical Lifelines Large-Scale Testing Facility that
established the technology as the only solution proven to withstand
extreme seismic and environmental events to protect water main
infrastructure lifelines. In fact, tests proved that this solution
would have easily withstood both the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake
and 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake sequence in Christchurch, New Zealand.
"We are very proud to add the NSF 61 certification to our
proven water technology portfolio of solutions," explained Martin
Bureau, Vice-President, Innovation for SANEXEN Environmental
Services Inc. ("SANEXEN"), LOGISTEC's environmental team. "The NSF
61 certification is recognized internationally and means that our
technology has been approved by one of the most respected
independent certification organizations for health and safety of
food, water and consumer products. Our customers require this
certification as further confirmation of the safety of our
next-generation solution, and this now broadens the scope of what
we can offer communities across North
America and overseas."
"Our innovative next generation of water technology continues to
prove its value as the ideal solution for municipalities facing the
task of addressing their water main infrastructure and the critical
importance of ensuring access to clean, safe and reliable drinking
water to their residents," said Madeleine
Paquin, President and CEO of LOGISTEC. "When you have the
best engineers and scientists in the industry developing innovative
solutions to address these growing concerns, who put their product
through the industry's most intensive series of tests, you know you
will end up with the highest-quality result."
This next generation technology, now also certified NFS 61
compliant as is its predecessor, is an even more flexible and
resilient upgrade to the original Aqua-Pipe technology, which has
been installed in over 1,300 miles of pipe across North America, and carries with it all of the
value that its predecessor has. LOGISTEC's Aqua-Pipe technology,
both the original and new generation solutions, is 25% more cost
effective than the traditional open-cut method of digging up and
replacing broken or leaking pipes, and has eliminated more than
1.9 billion cubic feet of lost drinking water through the
repair of leaks while significantly reducing the impact on
neighbourhoods. Now, with the next generation of Aqua-Pipe's
NSF 61 certification in place, this is yet another reason for
municipalities to choose this resilient technology to remediate
their water main infrastructure challenges.
