INSITUFORM PIPE REHABILITATION. CONSTRUCTION REPORT

This report covers the construction evaluation of a pipe rehabilitation project where INSITUFORM was used. INSITUFORM is a manufacturer's name for a pipe relining process which uses cold water inversion to propel a thermo-setting resin coated polyester fiber felt tube through a deteriorated pipe being relined. Once in place, hot water circulates through the tube to cure the resin and harden and strengthen the liner. Although some minor problems occurred, the INSITUFORM pipe rehabilitation seems to have been successful. To date, it appears the pipe relining has resulted in a functioning pipe system at a significant cost savings over other considered pipe rehabilitation techniques.
