WORLDWIDE RECOGNITION
JEC Innovation Awards
Grupo Navec's technology has been recognized by the most important organization for composite materials in the world as a technological innovation at the 'JEC Innovation Awards' in Paris, alongside renowned companies such as Airbus, Audi, BMW, Komatsu, Ford and Porsche, among others.
It consists of the in-situ construction of pipes and/or pressure vessels using carbon fiber, employing a methodology of high-strength epoxy resin infusion and homogeneous consolidation under vacuum pressure.
Its mission is to restore, replace or increase the structural integrity lost in infrastructures. Depending on the state of the base material, it can be considered as a lost mold, not contributing to the support of structural loads.
Long-term vision
In the commitment to a circular economy to conserve, maintain and extend the value of fluid distribution and storage networks and infrastructures, especially drinking water, Navec Group's technology has become, for years, a reality that demands a cultural and strategic change when rethinking the conservation of these facilities.

The homogeneous dosing of the constituent materials, effectively implementing the theoretical calculation hypotheses, the elimination of the human factor and the longevity of the composite materials, in terms of resistance to degradation and corrosion, ensure the reliability and homogeneity of the resulting assembly, and provide a long-term vision in the field of industrial, preventive and corrective maintenance.
The greatest advantage is found in buried systems where the logistical difficulties of access and auxiliary means can be an impediment due to the complexity of performance by traditional means, and in equipment with practically exhausted or discontinued useful life, without replacements.
