InventHelp Inventor Develops New Leak Repair Clamp (BEC-454)
PITTSBURGH, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "I wanted to create an improved leak repair clamp that would not only stop a leak but would also permit trenchless replacements on leak-repaired water lines," said an inventor, from Hesperia, Calif., "so I invented the BREAK AWAY REPAIR CLAMP. My design would offer an improved alternative to current clamps on the market." The patent-pending invention provides an improved design for leak repair clamps used for water utility lines. In doing so, it offers an effective means of stopping a line leak while also having a split perforation feature to permit subsequent pull-and-split trenchless line replacement or "line bursting". As a result, it increases efficiency, and it could help reduce costs. The invention features a durable design that is easy to use so it is ideal for water and sewer utility companies, municipal water agencies, plumbers, etc. The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 24-BEC-454, InventHelp, 100 Beecham Drive, Suite 110, Pittsburgh, PA 15205-9801, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

No more digging up the streets? Malaysia bets big on trenchless tech for future infrastructure
KUALA LUMPUR, May 8 — Malaysia is committed to expanding the adoption of trenchless technology as part of its strategy to develop sustainable and low-impact infrastructure, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. He said the method has proven effective in enabling faster and safer construction of underground utilities such as sewerage systems, water pipelines and telecommunications networks — particularly in densely populated urban areas. 'Applications such as pipe jacking have made it possible to lay sewer lines in urban and congested areas with minimal surface disruption, playing a key role in the expansion and modernisation of Malaysia's sewerage systems,' he said when officiating Trenchless Asia 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) today. Fadillah, also the energy transition and water transformation minister, said that the ministry, through its Sewerage Services Department, has implemented several remarkable regional sewerage projects in the Klang Valley. The projects have successfully connected millions of households to centralised sewage treatment systems, thus improving effluent discharge standards and helping to protect precious rivers for future generations, he added. He said that by minimising excavation and surface disturbance, trenchless methods help preserve the environment, reduce community disruption and avoid damage to existing infrastructure. He noted that trenchless approaches are not just alternatives but should be viewed as core technologies for sustainable development, aligning with the government's long-term agenda under AIR 2040, a strategic roadmap aimed at transforming Malaysia's water services sector. 'Trenchless technology fits perfectly into AIR 2040, especially in rehabilitating ageing pipelines and integrating smart water solutions, without the delays often associated with conventional methods,' he said. Fadillah also welcomed collaboration between the International Society for Trenchless Technology (ISTT) and local know-how practitioners to promote awareness of trenchless technology applications at the academic level. He said that by integrating trenchless technologies into university curricula and vocational programmes, Malaysia can equip its graduates with the knowledge and skills required to embrace these modern technologies. He also urged delegates to translate the ideas and discussions from Trenchless Asia 2025 into meaningful commercial opportunities that contribute to Malaysia's sustainable future. Trenchless Asia is an international exhibition and conference on trenchless technology in the Asian region. The two-day event starts today at KLCC. — Bernama
