	Dec 15, 2011 Article Anticorrosion Protective Systems LLC Pipeline Rehabilitation: Performing Under Pressure in India There has long been a common myth to the effect that no spiral wound liner can perform when used as a method of rehabilitation/liner in pressure pipelines. This perception is born perhaps from the perceived fact that the majority of such liners are machine wound from a starting pit, or manhole, from where they are also grouted, often under less that ideal conditions, leading to voids behind the liner which subsequently result in the distortion of the liner when the pipeline is pressurized, which in turn then leads to tearing of the joints and a general catastrophic liner failure. This myth is further perpetuated by the fact that most spiral wound liner manufactures state in their product data that the lining of pressure pipes cannot be recommended with their system.

	Mar 26, 2012 Article lena Zemke SEKISUI SPR Europe sets European record in Paris: Spirally wound at the largest diameter When it comes to rehabilitating sewers with large nominal diameters under complex boundary conditions, the spiral-wound pipe rehabilitation technology comes into its own. This was the case in the French district of Le Pecq near Paris in October 2011, where 281 metres of a DN 3000-3300 rain water collector were rehabilitated with a DN 2750 spiral-wound pipe liner of SEKISUI SPR Europe, manufactured by its subsidiary SEKISUI Rib Loc. The rehabilitation project involved the use of the SPR™ PE spiral-wound pipe process, previously known as RIBLINE. The Le Pecq project saw a new European nominal diameter record being set for this form of spiral-wound pipe rehabilitation technology.
	Apr 19, 2012 Article S & P Consult GmbH Decision making in rehabilitation strategy forecasts Operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of sewer networks are mainly driven by the results of CCTV inspections which build the basis for meeting numerous rehabilitation decisions each planning year. These decisions additionally take into account empirical knowledge based on experiences made in the past and the corresponding ancillary conditions whether they are internal (coming from the network operators themselves) or external (coming from the operator’s political, social or ecological environment). A sustainable rehabilitation planning requires mandatory pro-active rehabilitation planning that identifies deficits before they actually occur. This activates enormous efficiency potentials as the early realization of an upcoming rehabilitation candidate widens the applicable rehabilitation possibilities.
