Smart Lock: Fix Pipes Fast Without the Mess of Excavation

Restore structural integrity to your network with high-speed, no-dig mechanical point repairs.

When Only One Joint Is Compromised, a Full Excavation Isn’t the Answer

A single structural defect or joint failure in your network can put critical infrastructure at risk, even when the rest of the pipe is still in good condition.

Excavating for a minor repair can create unnecessary delays, surface disruption, and added costs.

A targeted trenchless repair allows the fault to be resolved while keeping services operational and your assets protected

Secure Your Assets with a Smart Lock Pipe Repair Guarantee

Smart lock installation lets you bypass the traditional “dig and replace” methodology, saving thousands in reinstatement costs.

This trenchless plumbing repair provides a high-strength, mechanical stainless steel sleeve that reinforces damaged sections from the inside out, often within a single hour of arrival.

You gain the peace of mind that comes with a 50-year structural guarantee, ensuring your infrastructure remains compliant and operational without the mess of an open trench.

High-Performance Smart Lock Installation for Complex Networks

Our smart lock pipe repair service is specifically engineered for high-risk civil and commercial environments where speed and reliability are non-negotiable.

This no dig pipe repair technology uses a 316L stainless steel sleeve and a silicate resin-impregnated fiberglass wrap to create a permanent structural seal.

Rapid Installation: Most structural repairs are completed and cured in under 60 minutes, minimising network disruption.
Structural Reinforcement: Designed to handle high-pressure environments and significant external loads, outperforming the original host pipe.
Versatile Sizing: We provide mechanical point repairs for a wide range of pipe diameters, suitable for both stormwater and sewer trunk mains.
Superior Materials: Using high-grade 316L stainless steel ensures maximum corrosion resistance in aggressive wastewater environments.

Protect critical assets with a fast, permanent repair that avoids unnecessary excavation.

Our Systematic Installation of Permanent Mechanical Sleeves

Guided by data, every trenchless plumbing repair meets strict civil specifications.

Step 1: CCTV Fault Detection
We use high-definition cameras to identify the exact location and severity of the structural fault.
Step 2: Surface Preparation
The host pipe is scoured using high-pressure water jetting to ensure a clean surface for the mechanical bond.
Step 3: Sleeve Positioning
The Smart Lock sleeve is mounted on a specialised packer and navigated precisely to the fault via CCTV guidance.
Step 4: Mechanical Expansion
The packer is inflated, expanding the stainless steel lock until it clicks into place and compresses the resin seal against the pipe wall.
Step 5: Final Verification
We perform a post-installation CCTV inspection to provide you with a verified condition report for your asset records.

Case Study

Ettamogah Rise, Springdale Heights

The Project: CCTV Inspection + Reline Failing Civil Drainage

The Challenge: Multiple structural failures in civil drainage required repair without destroying the existing concrete deck

The Solution: KBC installed numerous liners and Smartlock mechanical sleeves directly into the deck. This smart lock repair strengthened the structure without invasive excavation.

This approach maintained full site operation while delivering a long-lasting solution.

Client Reviews

Our School was fortunate to have the KBC team carry out plumbing works for us recently. Exceptional, high standard of work is only the start of what you can expect. Add to that effective communication throughout the works, flexibility and a desire to achieve the best possible outcome. This all resulted in a project delivered on time, competitively priced and completely stress free for us. We will definitely use KBC Plumbing again when the need arises.

KBC Plumbing consistently provide us with efficient support at our regional university campuses where response times and quality service are critical to maintaining our trusted relationship with La Trobe University.

Stephen Hunt

Contract Manager – ASM Chilltech

I enlisted KBC Plumbing to perform work in several of our sites around Albury/Wodonga. The biggest job done was the relining of old sewer pipes that were continually being blocked. KBC Plumbing quoted promptly for the relining of the pipes with the quote coming in considerably lower than any other plumber. The guys were quick to do the job that was by far less invasive, and they worked their times in with us and our clients. This allowed us to continue with our programs without any rescheduling. O would have no hesitations recommending KBC Plumbing.
