INTERVIEW WITH BOLDAN

Boldan is the leading expert in Cured-In-Place Pipe systems. A cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is a trenchless rehabilitation method used to repair existing pipelines. No digging is involved in this trenchless process, making for a potentially more cost-effective and less disruptive method than traditional “dig and replace” pipe repair methods.

The company develops, manufactures and distributes high-end CIPP products and materials through their global distribution network.

Boldan’s innovative and professional staff has extensive and diverse experience in pipe renovation projects all around the world.
