EUROPE by creating a new pipe within the existing one . Ashby explained : “ Rather than excavating and cutting up someone ’ s garden or ripping up the highway , we have the technology to quickly offer our clients proactive solutions .” These liners refurbish the asset in a cost-effective and more carbon efficient way than pipe replacement . They also have an effective operational lifetime of nearly a century , which means that communities have utility solutions that are built to last . In 2015 , this same spirit of innovation has led the Lanes Rail Division to perfect a vacuumation cleaning system that promises to revolutionise rail track drainage maintenance .
Lanes Group has taken extensive measures to reduce its impact on communities and the environment . It has become the UK ’ s largest user of specialist recycler jet vacuumation tankers , which use less water and fuel . In May , Lanes Utilities became the first drainage contractor to deploy acoustic sensing technology to survey sewers , an innovation that promises to make sewers more efficient and reduce pollution . It is also a leader in its sector in using hybrid vehicles .
Lanes Group has shown that it can be a jack of all trades while mastering all of them : its dedicated focus on both the needs of customers , including the 14 million it looks after for Thames Water , and its expanding workforce , has produced a balanced and powerful model for continued growth .
