Have you received a notice from the local authority to repair your private sewer pipes? In that case, pipe rehabilitation is often the most effective solution. Using modern pipe lining techniques, we can rehabilitate the pipes from the inside – without having to dig up your garden, driveway or outdoor area.

At Vitek Miljø, we have extensive experience in pipe rehabilitation in Bergen and the rest of Vestland. We help private individuals, housing cooperatives, joint-ownership associations and commercial customers to rehabilitate drainage pipes in a safe, efficient and cost-effective manner.

Pipe rehabilitation, also known as pipe lining, is a method whereby a new pipe is built up inside the existing pipe. The result is a strong, watertight pipe with a long service life – without the need for extensive excavation work.

This method is particularly suitable when the pipes have:

• cracks or leaks
• roots that have penetrated
• corrosion or wear and tear
• offset joints
• reduced capacity due to age

In many cases, the pipes can be rehabilitated without having to dig up outdoor areas, paving stones or tarmac.

Pipe relining has become the preferred method for the rehabilitation of sewer pipes because it offers several advantages:

• No digging, or only very limited digging
• Short lead time
• Lower overall cost than traditional replacement in many projects
• Less impact on the property and outdoor areas
• Long documented service life
• An environmentally friendly solution that reduces material consumption

When you choose Vitek Miljø, you gain a local partner with extensive expertise in water and wastewater services.

Among other things, we offer:

• extensive experience in pipe renewal
• modern equipment and proven methods
• in-house professionals with specialist expertise
• Comprehensive water and sewerage services under one roof
• follow-up throughout the project

We carry out pipe renewal work in Bergen and across much of Western Norway for private individuals, business customers, housing associations and public sector organisations.

Serwent has completed the acquisition of Vitek Miljø AS, which is now officially part of the Serwent Group.
The acquisition marks an important step forward in the company’s development and opens up new opportunities for growth in Western Norway and the rest of Norway.

For many years, Vitek Miljø has provided services such as sludge suction, high-pressure jetting, pipe rehabilitation, wastewater treatment and technical industrial services to both public and private clients. As part of Serwent, the company gains access to a larger professional network, increased capacity and a broader range of services. This strengthens our position in the region and makes us even better equipped to deliver safe and effective solutions for our customers.

«We see this as a natural next step for Vitek Miljø. With Serwent behind us, we gain more tools, greater expertise and increased capacity to tackle complex projects – whilst maintaining our local focus and close relationship with our customers,» says Henrik Reigstad, Managing Director of Vitek Miljø AS.

Continued operation

Vitek Miljø AS will continue under the same name, with the same local presence and operations as before – now as part of Serwent’s Norwegian division. Collaboration across the group means that shared technology, logistics and expertise can be utilised to deliver even better services.

Vitek Miljø AS is a Norwegian company specialising in the maintenance of critical underground infrastructure. The company also possesses extensive knowledge and experience in the fields of construction services, industrial services and waste management. The company has been operating in Norway for 42 years and has a large customer base in the municipal, industrial and private sectors in Western Norway.

Serwent operates throughout the Nordic region, providing services relating to the repair and maintenance of water and sewerage infrastructure, including pipe inspection, sludge suction, high-pressure flushing and pipe rehabilitation for private and municipal sewerage networks. The Group has a stated aim of being the leading provider of critical infrastructure solutions in the Nordic region.

As autumn approaches, the strain on drainage systems increases. Rain, leaves and soil can quickly cause sand traps and drains to become blocked, posing a risk of flooding and damage to both roads and property.

A sand trap acts as a filter in the drainage system. It collects soil, gravel, sand and other sediment that would otherwise cause blocked pipes or damage further down the system. To ensure the sand trap functions optimally, it is important to empty it regularly.

Why is it important to empty sand traps?

• Prevents flooding and water ingress into the basement

• Reduces the risk of damage to roads, pipes and manholes

• Ensures the sewerage network operates reliably

• Helps to improve the environment by preventing pollution from being washed away

Vitek Miljø can assist

We have extensive experience in emptying grit traps for local authorities, businesses and private individuals. Our vehicles are equipped with modern suction and flushing equipment, which enables us to carry out the work efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner.

We offer:

• Emptying and cleaning of sand traps and drains

• Documentation and reporting as required

• Advice on maintenance and emptying frequency

Contact us today

Please contact Vitek Miljø to arrange for your sand trap to be emptied well in advance of the autumn rains. We’ll help you ensure that your system works as it should – all year round.
