Alpe Kanalservice GmbH

What Alpe Kanalservice GmbH does

Alpe Kanalservice GmbH (ALPE Kanal) is a privately held Austrian specialty services company headquartered in Thaur, Tyrol, with a second regional hub in Puch bei Hallein, Salzburg, and four additional service locations covering Vienna, St. Pölten, Ötztal Bahnhof, and Tiroler Unterland. The company delivers a full stack of canal and drainage services, including high-pressure flushing and suction cleaning (up to 180 bar), closed-circuit TV inspection (Kanal-TV), no-dig pipe rehabilitation using Inliner-Verfahren and Spray-Liner® methods, pressure testing for tightness certificates per ÖNORM B 2503, EN 805 and EN 1610, blockage removal, underground garage and oil separator cleaning, and hazardous waste disposal through certified partners. The firm employs more than 100 trained personnel operating under strict safety regulations, with a free 24/7 emergency hotline (0800 93 00 96) and mobile equipment enabling Austria-wide response.

The business model is professional services, quote-based, with revenue generated across five streams: canal cleaning, canal rehabilitation (Inliner/Spray-Liner), 24-hour emergency response, partner/subcontractor services to building managers and installers, and disposal of problematic substances (waste oil, sludge, fecal matter, fat separators). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by service type, urgency, and customer segment. The go-to-market combines direct field sales (with named representatives such as Christian Fink for the Tirol region and Stephan Schwarz for Salzburg), a structured partner program (Hausverwaltungen and Installateure), and a multi-location operational backbone. The customer base spans real estate, infrastructure, government, energy, retail, construction, and banking — including ASFINAG, ÖBB Immobilien, OMV, Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft, PORR, Swietelsky, Buwog, MPREIS, Raiffeisen, and Eni.

Effective April 1, 2026, Alpe Kanal-Service GmbH will join the iTS-Gruppe and operate under the new name iTS Kanal Services AG, maintaining existing customer relationships, regional proximity, and reliability. The combined entity will focus on protection of water as the planet's most valuable natural resource, while expanding the iTS group's canal services capabilities.
