Methods of trenchless technologies provide cost-effective solutions that minimize the impact on local residents, and the municipality's citizens. A new cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) for pressurized applications is available for distribution and transmission mains ranging from 6" to 36". It is compliant with NSF standards and addresses pipeline problems including aging, deterioration, tuberculation and corrosion. The new product is suitable for operating pressure of up to 150 psi, provides an AWWA Class IV fully structural standalone solution, and exceeds the requirements of ASTM F1216 and ASTM F1743. Engineered to restore existing pipelines, the new CIPP system is design to withstand full internal pressure and external load requirements, while also eliminating leakage and corrosion. Composed of an epoxy composite layer which is reinforced with glass and/or polyester fiber, the tube provides added strength and stiffness to pressurized pipelines. This presentation will cover the product and materials; and highlight applicable case studies.
