2.0: CIPP TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT<br />

CIPP technology is one <strong>of</strong> a family <strong>of</strong> trenchless rehabilitation methods that allows the renewal <strong>of</strong> a<br />

buried pipe without the full excavation <strong>of</strong> the pipe from the ground surface. Such rehabilitation methods<br />

applied to sewer ma<strong>in</strong>l<strong>in</strong>es <strong>in</strong>clude the use <strong>of</strong> CIPP, close-fit l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gs, grout <strong>in</strong> place, spiral-wound l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gs,<br />

panel l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gs, spray-on/sp<strong>in</strong>-cast l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gs, and chemical grout<strong>in</strong>g as illustrated <strong>in</strong> Figure 2-1. <strong>Pipe</strong> repair<br />

(e.g., repair sleeves) and replacement methods (e.g., slipl<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g and pipe burst<strong>in</strong>g) may also be carried out<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g trenchless technology approaches. Further <strong>in</strong>formation on these various repair, replacement, and<br />

rehabilitation technologies can be found <strong>in</strong> a companion <strong>EPA</strong> report (Sterl<strong>in</strong>g et al., 2010).<br />

Figure 2-1. Rehabilitation Approaches for Sewer Ma<strong>in</strong>l<strong>in</strong>es<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> these rehabilitation and trenchless replacement technologies vary significantly <strong>in</strong> their<br />

applicability to various aspects <strong>of</strong> host pipe condition. Examples <strong>of</strong> typical issues are:<br />

• Extent <strong>of</strong> clean<strong>in</strong>g required (e.g., high level <strong>of</strong> clean<strong>in</strong>g required for spray coat<strong>in</strong>gs and closefit<br />

l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g systems; low level needed for pipe burst<strong>in</strong>g)<br />

• Sensitivity <strong>of</strong> method to m<strong>in</strong>or variations <strong>in</strong> pipe’s <strong>in</strong>ternal diameter<br />

• Adaptability <strong>of</strong> the method to cope with pipe-diameter changes with<strong>in</strong> a rehabilitation<br />

segment.<br />

Technologies also vary significantly <strong>in</strong> their requirements for sewage flow <strong>in</strong>terruption or bypass<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong><br />

the sewer l<strong>in</strong>e. The significance <strong>of</strong> this requirement <strong>in</strong>creases as the sewer diameter <strong>in</strong>creases, reflect<strong>in</strong>g<br />

larger and more cont<strong>in</strong>uous sewage flows and more critical backup requirements for the bypass<br />

operations.<br />
