Waterline Renewal Technologies Receives BMEC Authorization
Waterline Renewal Technologies has made a significant stride forward by securing authorization from the Ontario Building Materials Evaluation Commission (BMEC) for its advanced Perma-Lateral™ Lining Systems and innovative LightRay® UV cure technologies. This landmark approval underscores the effectiveness and reliability of Waterline’s trenchless rehabilitation solutions, which have been trusted for years in the industry.
In a recent announcement made on December 11, 2025, Waterline expressed pride in this achievement, signifying a pivotal change for trenchless technology applications across Ontario and Canada at large. The Perma-Lateral™ system, recognized for its key role in sewer rehabilitation, is now complemented by the LightRay® UV technologies which utilize both inversion and pull-in-place installation techniques, greatly enhancing the speed and safety of the rehabilitation process.
Significance of the Authorization
The BMEC's decision followed a thorough technical review process to evaluate the materials and systems against Ontario's stringent regulatory standards. This rigorous examination assures engineers, inspectors, and system owners of the quality and adherence of this technology to safety regulations. As noted by Adam Tetz, the Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Waterline, this approval not only reinforces their systems' performance but also amplifies their ability to assist contractors and municipalities effectively throughout Ontario.
Continuing adoption of the LightRay® UV technologies is anticipated, driven by the advantages of rapid deployment, enhanced safety measures, and precise installation capabilities.
