The rise of citizen science is placing increasing pressure on water companies to improve their environmental performance and protect river and bathing water quality. The water sector must get better at communicating the challenges of tackling pollution and why there is an urgent need for better collaboration between utilities, government bodies, regulators and customers.

The renovation of sewers and pipelines with "Lining with cured-in-place pipes" is an established standard construction method, starting with the planning process, through material production and installation, right up to checking the quality achieved. It is characterized by a wide range of applications and a high variance in the fabrication and application processes. This module teaches the essential basics in relation to the fabrication of the lining tube and its installation. After completing this module, you will have a sound knowledge of: - range of application of tube lining
- damage patterns and application limits;
- requirements on materials, resin systems and carrier material;
- curing processes and procedures.

In the following, special attention is paid to integral solutions. These include: -
Protection of the existing sewer structure with suitable linings or internal coatings
-
Rehabilitation of the pipe structure.
The rehabilitation of the existing sewer structure can be carried out through main rehabilitation methods; repair, renovation or replacement. (Image: Picto Repair connections) (Image: Picto Renovation) (Image: Picto Replacement)

Definitions of the main rehabilitation groups according to EN 16323: (Image: Repair (Rectification of local damage) (Image: Lining with cured-in-place pipes) (Image: Replacement using trenchless technology (pipe bursting) ) Repair: Rectification of local damage with full or partial use of the host pipeline Renovation: Work that incorporates all or part of the original structure of the drain or sewer to improve its current performance. Replacement: The construction …

In many cases, repairing localized damage—referred to as point repair—is the most cost-effective option. When there are multiple instances of point repair or extensive damage, rehabilitation can be achieved either through renovation or replacement. If hydraulic overloading or a reduction in cross section caused by renovation measures cannot be accepted, replacement becomes the only viable option. (Image: Locally limited damage)

The diagram illustrates a simplified decision-making process for selecting the appropriate structural solution for rehabilitation. The decision-making process focuses on the following aspects: -
Technological feasibility
-
Economic viability
-
Hydraulic load
