The Twin-Line Process is characterised in that the two resin components (polyurethane) are no longer pumped through separate lines to the spray lining machine but are filled into correspondingly large storage hoses in-situ. The lengths of the storage hoses correspond to the length of the sewer to be rehabilitated; the diameter is determined by the required quantity of polyurethane as a function of the layer thickness, pipe nominal size and mixing …

In this process group, the coating material used at present is mostly polyurethane resin and it is sprayed with the aid of special rotary spray heads onto the pipe inner wall to a thickness of 5 to 30 mm in a single working pass without wet smoothing. The work is carried out after surface preparation according to Abschnitt 5.3.1.4 from the entry manhole. Representatives of this group of processes are: - CSL Polyspray (Abschnitt 5.3.1.9.2.1) ;

In the spray lining process, the coating is hurled against the inner pipe wall by means of a quickly rotating centrifugal head. In the same process, when used in the water supply sector to DVGW-W 343 [DVGWAW343], the coating surface is usually smoothed by means of an accompanying device. In the sewers, smoothing is only possible if no pipe displacements are present and the pipe is of circular cross section. As these requirements are fulfilled only …

Coating is a generic term for one or more layers of interconnected coating materials on a base with which they are connected through adhesion. Coating processes, as used in sewers, serve the purpose of replacing or improving the resistance against physical, biological, chemical and/or bio-chemical attacks from inside, for hindering a renewed build-up of incrustation, for re-establishing and/or increasing the static bearing strength as well as the …
