Description <strong>of</strong> <strong>Main</strong><br />
Features<br />
<strong>Main</strong> Benefits<br />
Claimed<br />
• An AWWA Class IV fully structural pressure rated cured in place technology.<br />
• The Insitu<strong>Main</strong> system is an ideal solution <strong>for</strong> the renewal <strong>of</strong> both<br />
distribution and transmission water.<br />
• No risk <strong>of</strong> disrupting or damaging nearby utilities or other underground<br />
infrastructure systems.<br />
• The system has a polyethylene layer on the inside pipe surface which<br />
increases the pipe’s smoothness, reduces the surface friction and provides an<br />
additional corrosion barrier <strong>for</strong> the pipe.<br />
• It can withstand internal pressure and external load requirements.<br />
• Eliminates leakage and corrosion.<br />
• Adheres to the existing host pipe.<br />
• No need <strong>for</strong> specialty fittings.<br />
Bypass required<br />

Installation Standards In accordance with manufacturer’s operation manual.<br />
Installation<br />
1. The composite materials are saturated with a thermosetting epoxy resin<br />
Methodology<br />
system either on the job-site or in an authorized Insitu<strong>for</strong>m wet out facility.<br />
2. Using water or air pressure, the tube is then inserted into the host pipe by<br />
either a pull-in or inversion method.<br />
