The temporary diameter reduction is thermally and mechanically carried out in a die. This basically consists of a firing chamber, a heating section and a die plate.

Within 20 to 24 hours after the ending of the insertion and release of the tensile force, the continuous pipe reverts back to its original size because of the stress condition caused by heat deformation, and presses itself, without any helping measures, tightly against the inner wall of the sewer to be rehabilitated .

Finishing work, such as the restoration of connections, can only be carried out 20 to 24 hours after completing …

In the rolldown process, the temporary diameter reduction of the prefabricated continuous pipe is achieved mechanically with the aid of a hydraulically driven gripper mechanism and two - or for larger nominal sizes three - hemispherical roller pairs set at 90° to each other .

As a result of the reduction in diameter, there is a lengthening of the continuous pipe by approx. 4% and an increase of the wall thickness of the pipe by approx. 6%. The former is to be taken into account in the shortening of the continuous pipe when it again enlarges [Köstr88].

For the reversion, i.e., the enlarging of the lining pipe to its original size, locking pieces, e.g. welding necks made of HD-PE with loose flangers, …

The finishing work comprises in addition to testing :

  • Manhole connection;
  • Adapting the liner to the manhole channels;
  • Restoring …

For the connection and channel adjustment of the manhole, the corresponding principles of the lining with continuous pipes with annular space generally apply.

The topic of "branch connection" is dealt with in a separate lecture as it is normally carried out alike in lining processes with continuous pipes with as well as without annular space.

If ground water is found in situ, the water level has to be lowered or additional waterproofing measures have to be taken in order to prevent water from leaking through the slopes [Schne95].

The installation method (jetting, insertion into boreholes, etc.) for the well-points is highly dependent on the subsoil conditions. The pictures show well-points in the form of self-jetting well-point. The self-jetting well-points are installed using high-pressure water supplied to the top of the riser pipe from a water jetting pump. At the tip of the self-jetting well-point below the wellpoint screen, there is a hollow jetting shoe. Near the lower …

The compaction of the trench base must be coordinated with the compaction of the bedding layers. The compaction of the trench base should not be excessive, as the subsequent compaction of the haunch area must be at least as good as that of the lower bedding layer or the trench base, in order to avoid a reduction of the effective support angle and thus an overloading of the pipes.
