The Need for Pipeline Rehabilitation

 

Rehabilitation

Plastic Pipes Conference Association # 2001 Munich

Elzink

The type of problems encountered in existing pipelines are presented in this paper, together with the available methods to rehabilitate them. In the majority of the cases plastics are nowadays applied, either to replace the existing ones, or to renovate them by lining. The latter is increasingly gaining popularity. Attention will be given to particular design aspects of renovation (lining) with plastics pipes as well as the quality assurance of the liner in installed state.
