THIOTUBE

THIOTUBE® sulphur concrete pipes offer sewer managers a future-proof, environmentally responsible alternative to traditional materials – without compromising strength or performance.

Made from 100% circular THIOCRETE® sulphur concrete, THIOTUBE® combines the robustness of traditional concrete with the chemical resistance of plastics and ceramics. It meets—and often exceeds—all prescribed functional and technical standards for wastewater infrastructure.

Sustainable Sewer Infrastructure, Built to Last

Where traditional sewer pipes contribute significantly to carbon emissions and environmental degradation, THIOTUBE® offers a smarter, more sustainable path forward.

Developed using THIOCRETE®, THIOTUBE® pipes:

  • Contain no cement
  • Are chemically resistant (pH 0–12; joints 1–12)
  • Are 100% recyclable with no performance loss, even after decades of use
  • Support eco-design principles including design for disassembly

By switching to THIOTUBE®, operators can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional sewer pipe materials—immediately supporting EU climate goals for 2030.

Engineered for Performance—Tested and Trusted

THIOTUBE® pipes are built to meet the highest performance demands in wastewater applications:

  • Extremely long service life (>100 years)
  • High and stable mechanical strength and e-modulus
  • Watertight up to 2 bar, equipped with shear load blocks
  • Outstanding durability under heavy loads, shallow installations, and deep trenches
  • Field-tested since 2015, with proven reliability across over 35 projects and more than 20 km of installed pipes

Since 2023, THIOTUBE® has expanded beyond Belgium into France and the Netherlands, supporting a new generation of climate-resilient sewer infrastructure.

Proven Benefits for Contractors and Administrators

For Contractors:

  • One strength class (C240 for DN250, C200 for DN300 → 60 kN/m): eliminates installation errors
  • High installation efficiency:
    • Pipe lengths of 2.5 m (DN250) and 3 m (DN300)
    • Easy to assemble with quality accessories
    • Rocker pipes (1 m) double as adapters
    • House connections with bore holes and junctions
  • Minimal risk of damage thanks to concrete robustness and compact socket design
  • On-site technical support available
  • Contributes positively to sustainability scoring (e.g., CO₂ Performance Ladder)

For Sewer Managers

  • Meets highest functional standards:
    • Long life expectancy
    • Mechanical robustness and chemical resistance
    • Watertight and shear-resistant
  • Lowest environmental impact:
    • 100% circular—no waste, no cement
    • Non-toxic: no harm to ecosystems or biodiversity
    • No use of scarce drinking water
    • Designed with sustainability at its core

Designed for the Future of Urban Water Systems

THIOTUBE® isn’t just a pipe—it’s a step toward a more resilient, circular sewer system. Backed by years of R&D, field trials, and certification, it’s a proven solution that helps communities meet climate goals without compromise.
