Corporate structure

The structure separates ownership, operational delivery and intellectual property while keeping the public proposition clear.

HydroFoamer Holding B.V.

HydroFoamer Holding B.V. is the parent company. It owns HydroFoamer B.V. and HydroFoamer IP B.V.

HydroFoamer B.V.

HydroFoamer B.V. is the operating company responsible for commercial activity, project development, partner dialogue, technical delivery and market deployment.

HydroFoamer IP B.V.

HydroFoamer IP B.V. holds the HydroFoamer intellectual property, including the patent families supporting the method, application systems and installation-control position.

Mission

Improve the productivity of buried pipeline installation

HydroFoamer exists to reduce unnecessary construction activity, reduce uncertainty in buried composite pipe installation and create a more auditable handover record for owners, engineers, pipe manufacturers and delivery partners.

  • Controlled installation method for restrained buried pipelines.
  • Engineered sprayed PU foam keyhole support.
  • Pipe alignment and installation control.
  • PGMS-enabled measurement and Leica / total station workflows.
  • BIM / digital twin handover and auditable as-built evidence.
  • PACE-based business-case assessment for project qualification.

Origin and direction

HydroFoamer was created around a practical installation problem: too much cost, risk and uncertainty sits in the construction activity around buried composite pipelines.

From method to platform

HydroFoamer combines material support, installation methodology, measurement, data and commercial modelling.

From site checks to evidence

The method connects pipe alignment, installation control and as-built records instead of treating evidence as an afterthought.

From opportunity to deployment

PACE, partner dialogue and project-specific engineering review help qualify where HydroFoamer should be used.

IP position

Defensible method, equipment, data and know-how

HydroFoamer’s defensibility is not one component. It sits across granted patents, new filings, robotic and application methods, PGMS / installation control, sector extensions, proprietary know-how and the data advantage created through PACE and measured installation.

Patents and filings

Patent protection and new filings support the method, application route and future development areas without exposing unnecessary technical detail publicly.

Robotic application

Foam application, field deployment and automation development are part of the controlled installation ecosystem.

PGMS / installation control

Measurement, field verification and digital handover create a technical and data position beyond material substitution.

Sector extensions

Adjacent and future sectors are evaluated through qualification, not broad public claims.

Proprietary know-how

Installation sequence, support geometry, commercial modelling and partner deployment remain controlled know-how.

PACE / data advantage

Scenario data and installation assumptions help qualify where the method creates value and how projects should be reviewed.

Collaboration ecosystem

Built for project and partner dialogue

HydroFoamer’s route to market depends on credible collaboration with owners, engineers, pipe manufacturers, survey providers, construction partners and regional delivery organisations.

  • Owners and developers use PACE to screen a project-specific opportunity.
  • Engineers review pipe behaviour, support geometry, evidence and project qualification.
  • Pipe manufacturers and partners assess system compatibility and delivery pathways.
  • Survey and digital workflows connect PGMS data with Leica / total station and BIM / digital twin environments.
  • Project-specific information can move into controlled access or NDA where appropriate.
