In addition to the process verification and post-works <strong>in</strong>spections, there is generally a contractual<br />

requirement that the contractor provide a warranty for the works. The term <strong>of</strong> the warranty varies by<br />

utility, and, <strong>in</strong> France and Germany, there are legal limits on warranty periods enshr<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> national law.<br />

Table 8-10 shows the warranty periods <strong>of</strong> the utilities <strong>in</strong>terviewed.<br />

8.6 Utilities’ Views on Effectiveness <strong>of</strong> Sewer Rehabilitation<br />

8.6.1 Based on Long-Term Samples. Of the utilities <strong>in</strong>terviewed, four have taken samples for<br />

test<strong>in</strong>g from CIPP <strong>in</strong>stallations after a period <strong>in</strong> service: Thames Water; Gött<strong>in</strong>gen, Public Utilities Board<br />

S<strong>in</strong>gapore; and Queensland Urban Utilities/Brisbane. In addition, Leverkusen has undertaken CCTV<br />

Thames Water: The orig<strong>in</strong>al Insituform l<strong>in</strong>er <strong>in</strong>stalled <strong>in</strong> the Brick Lane Sewer was exam<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> June<br />

1991. Two panels were cut from the sidewall <strong>of</strong> l<strong>in</strong>er along the spr<strong>in</strong>g l<strong>in</strong>e <strong>of</strong> the sewer about 3 ft from an<br />

access manhole. The location was revisited <strong>in</strong> October 2001 and two sample panels about 1 foot square<br />

were removed from an area <strong>of</strong> the sidewall about 4 ft <strong>in</strong>to the sewer. In each <strong>in</strong>stance, test pieces were<br />

mach<strong>in</strong>ed from the test panels and tested <strong>in</strong> accordance with the relevant test<strong>in</strong>g specifications: BS2782<br />

Part 3 Method 335A:1978 <strong>in</strong> 1991 and U.K.WIS 4-34-04/BS EN ISO 178 <strong>in</strong> 2001. The results are<br />

provided <strong>in</strong> Table 8-11.<br />
