5.2.3 Visual Inspection <strong>of</strong> L<strong>in</strong>er. The visual <strong>in</strong>spection <strong>in</strong> the field was documented by Ed<br />

Kampbell <strong>of</strong> Jason Consultants. The l<strong>in</strong>er appeared to be <strong>in</strong> good shape overall (see Figure 5-2). The<br />

polymeric film on the CIPP appeared to be <strong>in</strong>tact with no evidence <strong>of</strong> hydrolysis. In-situ measurements<br />

<strong>in</strong>dicated that the CIPP was at least 6.0 mm thick around the circumference, with the greatest thickness<br />

observed be<strong>in</strong>g approximately 6.5 mm. The annular space was very small, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g that at the branch<br />

connection. A large amount <strong>of</strong> res<strong>in</strong> was formed around the circumference <strong>of</strong> the l<strong>in</strong>er at each branch<br />

connection location. There was no evidence <strong>of</strong> external hydrostatic load<strong>in</strong>g (no visible signs <strong>of</strong> a seasonal<br />

water table). The res<strong>in</strong>-impregnated felt was solid and <strong>in</strong>tact. The stitch hold<strong>in</strong>g together the CIPP tube<br />

was found to be <strong>in</strong> good condition. Signs <strong>of</strong> wear were restricted to the bottom third <strong>of</strong> the tube. The<br />

l<strong>in</strong>er varied significantly <strong>in</strong> external diameter as it accommodated the short pipe segments between the<br />

four branches.<br />
