Inliner Pipe Rehabilitation

The trenchless inliner method enables fast and comparatively inexpensive sewer rehabilitation. Particularly in the case of long pipe sections, it quickly becomes apparent that the effort and costs involved in inliner rehabilitation remain within reasonable limits. This is because instead of tearing up the floor and walls, a tube made of robust fabric material (the so-called liner) is impregnated with special resin and then inserted into the pipe. Using water or air pressure, the hose is pressed against the pipe wall from the inside and hardens there. After the curing time, the sewer pipe is permanently sealed again and the sewer rehabilitation is completed after appropriate testing.

If direct bonding to the old pipe is not desired, we recommend the use of a preliner. A preliner is a flexible film tube that is inserted between the liner and the old pipe. The preliner also protects the textile liner from water penetration.

Important Notes on Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining

CIPP lining can also be the best solution for pipe repairs inside buildings. However, it is not suitable for every type of pipe, as both pre-liners and hose liners remain inside the pipe and reduce its internal diameter. Therefore, the nominal width must not be too small. The thickness of the liner used should also be carefully checked and taken into account.

A pipe rehabilitation using the CIPP method should only be carried out by experienced professionals! Compared to short liner repairs—which also must be handled by trained specialists—CIPP lining is significantly more complex and labor-intensive. In addition, the use of compressed air for liner inversion and the curing process using hot water or steam require the utmost care and expert knowledge.
