Hot curing by means of steam (steam curing) is limited to max. DN 400 and renovation lengths of approx. 150 m. The lining tube, which is set up by pressurized air, is charged with hot steam between approx. 60 °C to 115 °C.

The electronic temperature measurements and their documentation are carried out periodically at the start and end manholes and at the intermediate manholes.

Measurements are taken at the invert between the lining tube and the host …

  • Inverted-in-place insertion of the lining tube by pressurized air

  • Installation of valves in the closed end of the lining tube in the target manhole so that the pressurized air can escape from the tube in a controlled manner during the curing process

  • Starting the curing process by blowing in a steam/air mixture

  • Excess steam escapes in a controlled manner via the valves

  • Control of the steam temperature as well as the temperatures between the lining …

  • In case of flat gradients or positional deviations (grade and alignment problems) of the pipe and a too low target temperature, the condensed water forms puddles and makes curing more difficult

  • In the presence of pressurized ground water, it can collect in low points of the pipeline and no longer be displaced by the pressurized air.

In the case of UV light curing, the installation pressure, the pulling force and the temperature curves must be continuously measured and documented during the entire curing phase.

The proper function of the light technology used must be ensured during the entire process and must be adapted to the respective lining tube product and comply with the specifications of the system manual.

The pulling speed and positioning of the UV spots specified by the …

The output of UV spots is in the range from 300 W to 4000 W. The UV spots are combined into a chain of lights (UV light chain) according to the required output.

Before each curing process, the UV spots must be checked visually and cleaned (e.g. removal of fingerprints, dust, etc.). The perfect overall condition and surface cleanliness of the spots are decisive for its function and thus for proper curing of the lining tube.

  • Sealing of the lining tube ends in the manholes by means of special packers (with sealing cap), which allow the implementation of the UV light chain within the lining tube and the pulling rope and the supply cable for the UV light chain to be passed through. To enable the packer installation, the liner head must be located in the manhole.

  • Lower the UV light chain into the starting manhole and insert it into the lining tube. There the lamp cable…

A characteristic feature of combined curing or hybrid curing is that during factory impregnation of the tubes, thermo-reactive peroxides (heat curing initiators) are added to the light-curing resins (UV initiators) system. Subsequent cure initiation is exclusively via UV radiation. The exothermic heat generated by UV curing excites the heat-cure initiators. Hybrid curing can be used, if necessary for system reasons, for thick-walled lining tubes

Since conventional UV light curing reaches its limits with very large wall thicknesses of the lining tube (> 7 mm or more depending on the manufacturer), combination or hybrid curing is used here.

Here, the ongoing UV light curing activates the thermal curing. Once the UV light has heated the lining tube to approx. 60 °C, the thermoreactive peroxides activate the thermal reaction. Both curing mechanisms lead to the final polymerization of the resin …

UV curing of a lining tube for a DN 1750 sewer without the addition of peroxides.

  • Length of the sewer to be rehabilitated: 110 m

  • Diameter DN 1750

  • Composite wall thickness of the lining tube: 17 mm

  • UV curing system with the continuously electrically extendable UV core with a UV spot output of 6 x 4000 watts (total UV spot output of 24,000 watts)

The curing process with all parameters such as pressure, temperature, curing speed and the actual power …

What is to be measured and recorded?

  • Electronic recording of the pulling speed of the UV light chain, the spot function (on/off)

  • Electronic measurement and recording of the temperature curves in the surface area of the liner while the UV light chain is being pulled through

  • Measurement of the radiation intensity while the UV light chain is being pulled through

  • Measurement of the installation pressure (internal pressure) and air …

For the first time after 400 operating hours, the intensity of the UV spots has to be checked against a reference spot with regard to the irradiance of the spot in use (comparative measurement). The reference spot is a calibrated and measured spot. Each spot must then be checked after 150 further operating hours [DWAA143-3:2014].

The comparative measurement is carried out within …

  • In the case of bend in the pipeline, there is a risk that the internal membrane will be damaged by the pull cable when the UV light chain is pulled through. This can cause air to enter the composite of the lining tube and thus damage the composite.

  • In the presence of pressurized ground water, it can collect in low points of the pipeline (grade and alignment problems) and no longer be displaced by the pressurized air.

  • The maximum wall thickness…

Advantages of hot water

  • very good curing and post-curing

  • large nominal widths and long renovation distances possible

  • can be used with only one accessibility (Open-End Liner)

  • low purchase costs of the equipment and curing technology compared to UV light curing

Advantages of steam curing

  • very good curing and post-curing

  • steam curing is faster than hot water curing

  • no process water required

  • very well suited for steep gradients (pressure difference …

Untreated industrial and sometimes domestic wastewater usually contains potentially toxic elements in concentrations that are several-fold higher than the maximum permissible limits for irrigation and drinking water. The authorities have so far failed to effectively enforce waste treatment laws, and strict adherence to the norms has remained a daunting task. Proper processing and management will improve food quality and safety as well as human and animal health.

The following formula can be used as a general guide to compute the minimum trench width for circular concrete pipe installation using the open cut method.

(Table: Minimum trench width for circular concrete pipe in the US)

Sample calculation:

O.D. = 24” ID + 3 in wall thickness x 2 = 30 in

Total trench width = O.D. + (O.D./6 x2) = 30 in+ (30/6 x 2) = 30 in + 10 in = 40 in min
