The French and German utilities <strong>in</strong>terviewed have switched <strong>in</strong> recent years to almost exclusive use <strong>of</strong><br />
UV-cured CIPP methods. These are considered to be better controlled and to benefit from factory<br />
impregnation, which is more readily supervised than site impregnation. Monitor<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> the <strong>in</strong>stallation is<br />
also considered to be easier and more thorough. They also tend to let term contracts to s<strong>in</strong>gle contractors<br />
who can meet specific experience criteria, rather than go<strong>in</strong>g to open competitive tender for each project.<br />
The UV-cured methods have taken a dom<strong>in</strong>ant share <strong>of</strong> the CIPP market <strong>in</strong> Germany, which are both the<br />
largest market <strong>in</strong> Europe and the technology leader.<br />
The U.K. utilities <strong>in</strong>terviewed also place contracts for a five-year Asset Management Period (AMP) with<br />
a s<strong>in</strong>gle or small number <strong>of</strong> selected contractors. This is <strong>in</strong>tended to ensure that better quality <strong>in</strong>stallation<br />
is achieved.<br />
In S<strong>in</strong>gapore, there has been relatively little usage <strong>of</strong> UV-cured methods; air <strong>in</strong>version and steam cur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
appears to dom<strong>in</strong>ate. Epoxy res<strong>in</strong>s are also used for all rehabilitation at diameters up to and <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g 225<br />
mm (9 <strong>in</strong>.) despite its contractors experienc<strong>in</strong>g difficulties <strong>in</strong> controll<strong>in</strong>g the mixed res<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> a tropical<br />
climate. Thames Water is the other utility that has selectively specified epoxy res<strong>in</strong> systems, with<br />
polyester res<strong>in</strong> cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g to be the dom<strong>in</strong>ant res<strong>in</strong> used. Brisbane Water (now Queensland Urban<br />
Utilities) is the only other utility surveyed <strong>in</strong> a tropical or semi-tropical region, and makes only limited<br />
use <strong>of</strong> CIPP because <strong>of</strong> the difficulty <strong>of</strong> controll<strong>in</strong>g the cur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> the res<strong>in</strong>s used.<br />
Experience <strong>of</strong> us<strong>in</strong>g short l<strong>in</strong>ers, top hats or similar for connections, and lateral l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g is shown <strong>in</strong><br />

Many utilities state that they no longer use either short l<strong>in</strong>ers or top hats, based on negative experience<br />
with them. Short l<strong>in</strong>ers need to adhere to the host pipe and not shr<strong>in</strong>k, so epoxy res<strong>in</strong>s are used.<br />
Nevertheless utilities have experienced problems with the short l<strong>in</strong>ers be<strong>in</strong>g damaged by high pressure<br />
