Summary
Nowadays, even badly damaged water and wastewater pipes can be rehabilitated. Two trenchless solutions are available: burst lining and the TIP (tight-in-pipe) method. With the burst lining method, pipes are renewed in the same route without trenching. The existing pipe is destroyed and displaced into the surrounding soil. At the same time, a new pipe with the same or a larger diameter is laid. The TIP method is also an innovative solution for the rehabilitation of severely damaged pipes with deformations of up to 25 %. The TIP method with prefabricated pipes is mainly used for the rehabilitation of gravity sewers. Prefabricated new short or long pipes with a slight reduction in the pipe cross-section are installed in the main pipe, leaving only an annular gap. With this method, the connecting pipes can also be laid trenchlessly, which is another advantage of this technique.
