Curing the liner

After the inversion of the calibration hose, the front end of the liner is fixed in the target manhole. In this particular case, a bearing block (here of pipe spindles) had to be arranged for the liner head, as the connection of the section to be rehabilitated was approximately 1.5 m above the manhole invert. The liner was provided with two steel sleeves (spiral pipe DN 250) whereby the first served for the later taking of a sample …

Adapting the liner to the old sewer

After the leaktightness testing has been successfully completed and the plug at the lower end of the section has been removed, the water is drained out by opening the liner in the starting and target manholes. The return hose is removed from the inversion pipe and the connection between the heating supply hose and the heating assembly is removed.

Cleaning the Sewer

The section to be rehabilitated must be free from deposits and other flow obstacles. In this case it is cleaned by means of the high-pressure jetting method. If obstacles are found which cannot be removed by this method of cleaning then they are removed using a sewer milling robot. The results of the cleaning are rechecked by TV inspection and documented before the start of rehabilitation.

Renovation of a surface water sewer DN 300 by the Inpipe process - Rehabilitation - Inversion of the liner

The end of the cable protruding out of the membrane head is pulled so far out of the target manhole that it can be led over a turning roll placed on the manhole frame.

The sealing flap for guiding the cable in the curing vehicle is removed. The guiding pipe for the light source in the curing vehicle is positioned …

The liner is cut off approximately 3 cm in front of the pipe walling with a compressed air angle cutter. The material sample required for quality assurance is taken from the liner region inside the catch hose.

The proper adaptation to the channels in the intermediate manhole is carried out in that the hardened liner is cut out to form a channel.

The components in the start manhole for the inversion, such as inversion pipe (turning roll) and the guide …

Leaktightness testing

The two sections of the rehabilitation secor of this particular case are separately tested with compressed air for leaktightness in accordance with DIN 1610.

The respective section is sealed at the start and end with a sealing balloon. The required test pressure is generated by a compressor. After the pressure has been reached the connection of the compressor to the liner is uncoupled. The manometer is connected to a PC, which …

Soaking and inversion of the hose

A filling opening of 5 cm long is cut in the hose approximately 1 m from the calibrating rolls. The filling hose for soaking with the epoxy resin is pushed about half a metre into this opening in the hose. The previously determined resin quantity for the inversion length is filled into the hose and slowly distributed backwards with the hands. Care must be taken that soaking is complete.

Curing the CityLiner

The reaction of the resin (curing the liner) is initiated by heating the inversion water while maintaining the water pressure. For this purpose a circuit consisting of a heating supply hose running through the whole rehabilitation section, a heating aggregate positioned near the starting manhole and a suction return hose are built up in the liner hose. The filling tube is also connected to the heating aggregate for topping up …

After adapting the liner in the manholes to the surface waer sewer, clearing the manholes, and successful leaktightness testing, the sealing balloon at the entrance to the rehabilitated section is removed and the surface water sewer can be taken into service again.
