Insitu<strong>for</strong>m RPP is a custom engineered CIPP product designed to restore the<br />

structural integrity to distressed pressure pipes and prevent internal corrosion<br />

and/or erosion. It is a structural renewal product that does not rely upon the host<br />

pipe. The CIPP tube has a similar construction to standard Insitu<strong>for</strong>m CIPP<br />

tubes, with special glass rein<strong>for</strong>cement included to handle pressure applications.<br />

Resin used is vinyl ester.<br />

<strong>Main</strong> Benefits • Provides a structural renewal.<br />

Claimed • Spans over small holes, gaps or open joints.<br />

• Extends life <strong>of</strong> a deteriorated or leaking pressure pipe.<br />

• Minimal disruption as installed inside existing main, trenchlessly.<br />

• Smooth interior surface.<br />

• Stops internal corrosion.<br />

<strong>Main</strong> Limitations<br />

Cited<br />

Applicability<br />

(Underline those that<br />

• Can be installed in line with bends up to 45 o .<br />

• Interior must be very clean, with no protrusions.<br />

• Shut down system or by-pass pump during insertion and cure.<br />

• Incomplete long-term pressure regression tests on cured RPP liner available<br />

<strong>for</strong> confirmation <strong>of</strong> design values recommended <strong>for</strong> long-term tensile<br />

strength in pressure design (Did not achieve the correct number <strong>of</strong> bursts<br />

during the log time frames to meet the ASTM data requirement).<br />
