Canvey Island, situated on the north coast of the Thames estuary to the west of Southend-on-Sea, is part of Anglian Water's area of responsibility. As part of a broader £700,000 refurbishment project at a local pumping station that serves the wastewater collection system in the area of Canvey Island, an asbestos cement pipeline had to be renovated.

The InsituGuard™ system, the non-disruptive, HDPE solution for pipe rehabilitation which includes the InsituFold™ installation process, was ultimately selected as the best solution to complete the work due to its ease of installation and its close fit to the host pipe which enables the maximum pipeline flow capacity to be maintained.
