Abstract Text | There is no silver bullet technology in pressure pipe rehabilitation for water and sewer pipelines. Utilities are looking for innovative ways to improve underground infrastructure, while utilizing both logical and economical solutions. Oftentimes, utilizing existing conduits can be advantageous for rehabilitation by decreasing impacts to businesses and the environment. The seminar will focus on the advantages of various trenchless technologies, including pipe bursting, sliplining, CIPP, flexible fabric reinforced pipe to be utilized in pipeline rehabilitation of sizes from up to 100". |
