Case Studies
A DN75 cast iron water main was blocked up to 95% over 180m/590ft. Difficult access on built-up ground with multiple services crossing & adjacent, with 60m/196ft under the M56 motorway. Cleaned with Super Midi in one day.
Queensferry Water Main
United Kingdom, 2019
Rehabilitated several cooling pipes for 4 power plant turbines by cleaning with Mini Miller and then Picote Brush Coating™ them. Pipe diameters ranged from DN50-100 / 2-4". This method was ideal for small bends and the large number of junctions.
Water Treatment Plant
Indonesia, 2018
Due to the location of the DN75 potable water supply at NASA campus, excavation would have been very costly & challenging. High-speed cleaning with the Maxi Miller, followed by Picote Brush Coating™ provided a fast and easy renovation.

MEGA PLANS
The Picote MEGA Miller has been under development and under wraps for the last two years. The prototype was unveiled at the International Society for Trenchless Technology (ISTT) Show in Helsinki, Finland in October 2022 and afterwards at the Picote Open House, a short 45 minute ride away. The Aqua MEGA Miller was towed there in style, by the Picote Aqua Hummer!
Development of the MEGA Miller and tooling is ongoing, to enable contractors to reach further and perform challenging works quickly and more efficiently with huge power upgrades and capabilities.
