Heat-Initiated Curing / Hot Curing
Hot Curing with Steam – Procedure
-
Inverted-in-place insertion of the lining tube by pressurized air
-
Installation of valves in the closed end of the lining tube in the target manhole so that the pressurized air can escape from the tube in a controlled manner during the curing process
-
Starting the curing process by blowing in a steam/air mixture
-
Excess steam escapes in a controlled manner via the valves
-
Control of the steam temperature as well as the temperatures between the lining tube and the host pipe via a calibrated temperature sensor
-
Cooling phase while maintaining the internal pressure
