Our mission is to improve the quality of drinking water by developing new technology to clean water mains. The Typhoon jetting system marries engineering know how from the oil and gas industries to a team with over 30 year’s experience in the UK water industry.

A subsidiary of Kilbride Industrial Services, Hydrascan’s tethered pig technology can be used with equipment already widely used throughout the water industry, requires little training and less support infrastructure than current systems.

Offering impeccable cleaning results, Typhoon offers a longer range than any other system in use, cleans around bends and up to valve faces from a single point of access.

Crucially, this single point of access significantly reduces the cost and time taken on cleaning projects, making it ideal for use in urban environments as well as more rural locations.

Current ‘pigging and swabbing’ solutions require a substantial amount of plant, equipment and operatives on site, require access to both ends of the pipe, is slow and yields only average cleaning results.

The Typhoon system was developed in response to a challenge set by Northumbrian Water for an efficient means of cleaning the larger trunk mains as part of its four-year £30 million mains cleaning programme.
