AquaShim®
Traditionally engineered mechanical shims and centralisers can be costly and may only provide a short-term solution before repair or replacement is necessary.
Developed with the Net Zero Technology Centre (formally known as the OGTC), AquaShim® is a polyurethane- based alternative which is quick and simple to install and requires zero lifetime maintenance.
Providing low cost, long term stabilisation for caissons and conductors, AquaShim® halts deterioration and localised stresses, reduces vibration and noise and ultimately extends asset lifecycle.
