Preface
Underground pipelines are the critical infrastructure of the city. They include the
water supply and drainage system, gas pipeline, electric power pipeline and com-
munication pipeline, transporting energy and removing waste for residents, facto-
ries and enterprises located in different places of the city. The pipes for the city likes
the blood vessels for the human body. Therefore, they are called as the “lifeline
of the city.” However, with the development of the city, due to years of use,
underground pipelines are tending to be aging and have some defects,such as cracks
and leaks. If they are not repaired or renewed in time, the city operation will be
seriously affected.
Trenchless pipe rehabilitation technology is a new technology that could repair
and renew the original pipeline without excavating the ground. It does not affect the
normal life around the pipeline. What is more, it can save the construction time. As a
result, it lowers the cost compared to the traditional rehabilitation method. Therefore,
it is not only very welcomed by the trenchless construction units, but also supported
by the government. Thus, it has been developed rapidly in the recent ten years.
However, due to the trenchless pipe rehabilitation technology is new and is not
developed maturely, the pipeline renovation construction by this technology is
chaotic and do not have standard to reference. The relevant terminology are not
unified which is not good for communication. In this situation, authors compiled
this technical regulation which is referring to various international advanced stan-
dards and relevant theories, summarizing domestic and foreign experience of
trenchless pipe rehabilitation projects and combining personal construction expe-
rience for many years.
This standard summarizes the technical method and construction process of
underground pipeline testing, cleaning and renovation. It has 20 chapters and two
appendixes in total. Its content includes: Pipeline rehabilitation construction orga-
nization design, pipeline cleaning, preparations before construction, pipeline
detection and quality assessment, pipeline renovation design/method/equipment
selection/steps/technical indicators, universal construction techniques, construction
general rules, the engineering quality acceptance, construction health, safety,
environmental protection and production management, and so on. This book
v
vi Preface
introduced these pipeline renovation methods in details: Pipe cracking, sliplining,

pipe segmental lining, modified sliplining, cured in place pipe (CIPP), spray lining,
spirally wound lining, localized repair. The first appendix is the interpretation for
the relevant technical terms in this book. The second appendix is pipe defect grade
classification and sample figure. It could help the reader who do not have the basic
knowledge about pipe rehabilitation to understand this technology easily.
This standard could be the fundamental discipline for pipeline renewal projects
in different industries. It could provide the important basis and criterion for design,
construction, management, inspection and acceptance of pipeline renewal projects.
It can be used by designers, managers, researchers, engineers and technicians from
municipal pipeline engineering, petroleum pipeline engineering, water supply and
drainage engineering, environmental engineering, geological engineering and other
fields, can also be used as the teaching material for teachers and students.
The original version of this book was proposed by the pipeline renewal expert
group of trenchless technical Committee of Chinese Geological Society and
relieved in Chinese in 2016. Since its publication, it has been used as the teaching
materials for trenchless technology training. All the readers who read this book
think it is very helpful. This book has been the bestseller in China. A lot of
foreigners want to read this book, but they do not know the Chinese characters.
With the support and authorization of the authors who are the original version, we
translated this book into English. Hopefully, this book could benefit all the people
all over the world.
Because of various reasons, some contents have not been included in this
standard, such as: pipe eating, pipe pulling, engineering accident prevention and
treatment, design optimization and so on.
Besides, due to different pipeline rehabilitation construction purposes, some
technical indicators and requirements may have been changed. In this case, the pipe
construction process should comply with the specific provisions of the agreement
and contract. Pipeline cleaning and testing, engineering design, construction and
quality acceptance of pipeline renewal projects shall not only comply with this
standard, but also should comply with the mandatory provisions of the current
relevant standards issued by the state and relevant underground pipeline authorities.

spray material (copper ore sand, quartz sand, emery sand, iron sand, Hainan
sand) to the surface of the workpiece to be processed at high speed, so that the
appearance or shape of the external surface of the workpiece changes. Due to
the impact and cutting effect of the abrasive on the surface of the workpiece, the
workpiece surface has a certain degree of cleanliness and different roughness,
the mechanical properties of the workpiece surface are improved, the adhesion
between them and the coating is increased, and the coating film is extended. The
durability is also conducive to the leveling and decoration of paint.
2. Small diameter pipes below DN800 use rotary sandblasting for rust removal.
Large diameter pipes—DN800 and above can be entered into the pipeline by
construction personnel for manual sandblasting and rust removal.

Pipeline Rehabilitation Design
7.1.1 The pipeline rehabilitation design should adopt the principle of design for
different pipe section-by-section. For the pipe of different diameters and different
defect levels, the pipeline rehabilitation should be designed section-by-section.
7.1.2 If it is confirmed by the external pressure failure load test that the rehabilitated
pipeline has the same damage strength as the new pipeline, the pipeline renovation
structure calculation can be omitted.
7.1.3 The design of the pipeline rehabilitation should meet the following basic
requirements:
1. The rehabilitated pipeline should meet the requirements of the force;
2. The rehabilitated pipeline should meet the stability requirements;
3. The rehabilitated pipeline shall meet the requirements of over-current capability;
4. The rehabilitated pipeline shall meet the requirements of the dredging.
7.1.4 The basic principles of pipeline rehabilitation method selection are as follows:
1. Specify the type of pipeline rehabilitation: pipeline replacement, upgrade reno-
vation, structural renovation, semi-structural renovation, functional renovation;
2. The main considerations include: pipeline type, pipeline quality, pipeline stress,
flow area/diameter, pipeline shape, pipeline path (bending), surrounding envi-
ronment (temperature, working pit, etc.), sanitation and resistance to the pipe
For corrosion and other performance requirements, see Table 7.1.
7.1.5 In addition to the relevant requirements of this standard, the liner design
in pipeline renovation should also meet the relevant standards or requirements of
pipeline strength and stability in different industries.

ture, the gap between the new and the old pipe can be filled without grouting or
by choosing ordinary cement with good fluidity.
2. When the spirally wound lining needs to form a composite pipe through grouting
to bear the pressure, the cement slurry must meet the following requirements:
good bonding strength with the liner and the old pipe, little shrinkage after curing,
and good water barrier.
3. The grouting should be full, and the fluidity and setting time of the slurry should
meet the requirements of Table 15.1.

equipment. Conventional equipment is used and maintained in accordance with rele-
vant regulations and instructions. Special equipment must be used and maintained
in accordance with the equipment instruction manual.
15.3.3 Winding machines and other major underground equipment should be mainly
composed of stainless steel parts because they work in water or humid environment
all year round. After each construction, it should be cleaned in time and applied with
anti-rust agent to ensure the normal use of the machine in the future.
15.4.1 Use high-pressure water to remove all garbage, tree roots and other obstacles
that may affect the installation of new pipes.
15.4.2 Sewage pipes that need to be rehabilitated should be detected and recorded
with closed-circuit television.
15.4.3 All obstacles should be recorded, and if necessary, they should be washed
repeatedly.
15.4.4 The position of the branch pipe must be recorded. When the renovation is
completed, reopen the branch pipe.
15.5 Spirally Wound Lining Construction
15.5.1 Construction by mechanical winding-expansion method
1. Initial winding of the pipe: under the drive of the machine, the PVC profile is
continuously entangled in the winding machine, and the primary and secondary
locks on both sides of the profile are interlocked by spiral rotation, thereby
forming a continuous seamless newer than the original pipe liner. After the
winding of a section of spiral pipe is completed, the secondary lock is pulled
off by pulling the embedded steel wire, so that the new liner begins to expand
radially until the new liner is tightly attached to the inner wall of the original
pipe.
86 15 Spirally Wound Lining
2. During the winding process, the winding machine continuously repeats the
following actions:
(1) Inject the lubricating sealant into the female lock of the main lock (the
lubricating sealant plays the role of lubricating in the process of winding
and expanding, and the sealing of the formed liner at the end of expansion);
(2) Entrapped high-tensile pre-embedded steel wire: When this wire is pulled
out, the secondary lock will be cut to allow the new tube to expand, but the
steel wire is not pulled out during the winding process of the new pipe;
(3) The strip profile is rolled into a circular liner;
(4) The expansion of the pipeline is finally formed. After the initial winding is
completed, the winding machine stops working; then drill two holes in the
new pipe at the end and insert steel bars to prevent the new tube from rotating
in the next expansion; after completion, Start the wire drawing equipment
and winding machine. As the embedded steel wire is slowly pulled out, the
interlocking secondary buckle is cut during the winding forming process,
so that the profile slides along the track of the main lock under the drive of
the winding machine and continue to expand in the radial direction until the
liner at the non-fixed end (winding machine end) is also tightly attached to
the original pipe wall.
3. After the expansion of the new pipe is completed, the ends of the new pipe are
sealed with polyethylene foam or polyurethane.
15.5.2 Construction by mechanical winding fixed-diameter method

1. Pipe winding: The winding process of the new liner with the fixed diameter
method is similar to the expansion method. When the new liner reaches the next
working pit (or manhole), the winding forming process stops.
2. Pipe grouting: After the new liner is wound to a fixed size, a certain annulus
space may be left between the mother pipe and the new pipe, which must be
filled with cement slurry.
3. The selection of cement slurry admixture should meet the requirements of the
relevant specifications; the grouting pressure should be determined according to
the test of the ring stiffness of the liner pipe.
4. Other construction procedures, such as branch pipe cutting, can be carried out
immediately after winding.
15.5.3 Construction by manual winding method

1. Pipe winding: The manual winding method is different from the mechanical
winding method. It is manually formed into the pipe and wound to form. It can
be wound from one end of the nozzle to the other end of the pipe, or from the
middle of the pipe section to both ends.
2. Pipeline grouting: The grouting method and related requirements are basically
the same as the mechanical winding fixed-diameter method. The main difference
15.5 Spirally Wound Lining Construction 87
is that the manual winding method is used to improve the overall strength of the
renovated pipe before the winding construction. A steel frame is installed in
the annulus space of the old pipe and the winding pipe, and the steel-concrete
structure is formed after the cement slurry is poured.
15.6.1 Before each winding construction, check the certificate, profile specifications,
production date and use period of the profiles used to ensure that the quality of the
materials and the specifications of the materials used are consistent with the design.
15.6.2 During the winding process, a dedicated person should check whether the
profile is damaged or bent, and repair small defects in a timely manner; if there are
more serious conditions, the professional technicians on site should be notified in time
to take corresponding measures; In some particularly serious situations, construction
should be stopped to ensure the quality of each winding.
15.6.3 During winding, the operator should pay special attention to the reduced-
diameter connection of the male and female locks and the glue injection in the
locks.
15.6.4 The grouting shall be carried out in batches according to the designed ratio.
15.6.5 The spirally wound lining should provide various test and evaluation reports of
the technology before construction and use. The report includes but is not limited to
the chemical resistance report of the profile, the wear resistance report of the profile,
and the tightness report of the pipe, compression resistance report of the pipe and
strength report of the grouting material, etc.
Chapter 16
Localized Renovation
16.1.1 Localized renovation includes spot CIPP, stainless steel foam sleeve, pipe
segmental lining, grouting, etc.
16.1.2 There are many localized renovation methods for pipelines, which are diffi-
cult to generalize. You can refer to related similar processes. For engineering accep-
tance of localized renovation, you can refer to related similar processes. For difficult
reference methods, you can determine the test method and acceptance procedure.
16.2 Spot CIPP
16.2.1 Scope of application

1. Applicable to the localized renovation of rainwater and sewage pipes whose
ducting pipes are ductile iron pipes, reinforced concrete pipes and other synthetic
materials.
2. The inner diameter of the pipeline should be 200 ~ 1500 mm.
3. Applicable to structural defects of pipelines such as rupture, deformation of less
than 10%, dislocation, leakage, misalignment and interface misalignment should
be less than or equal to 5 cm, the basic structure of the pipeline is basically stable,
the line shape of the pipeline is not significantly changed, and the wall of the
pipeline is not solid crisp.
4. Applicable to the interface pretreatment of the overall repair of the pipeline; the
room temperature curing type spot CIPP is suitable for the situation of incom-
pletely blocking the pipeline, and the UV spot CIPP is suitable for the situation
of completely blocking the pipeline.

90 16 Localized Renovation
5. It is not suitable for the renovation of structural defects such as pipeline foun-
dation fracture, pipeline rupture, pipeline disconnection in an inverted shape,
serious misalignment of pipeline interface, and serious deformation of pipeline
line shape.
16.2.2 Construction design and materials

1. The design of the liner thickness of the spot CIPP should be the same as the
thickness design of the CIPP.
2. The length of a single lining pipe should not be less than 400 mm. The length of
the lining pipe should cover the defect to be renovated, and it should be at least
200 mm longer than the defect before and after.
3. The curing time of the resin at room temperature with the spot CIPP should be
2–4 h, and it should not be less than 1 h; the curing time for the UV-cured resin
with the spot CIPP should be 2 min. The curing time can be determined according
to the diameter, length and construction conditions of the renovated section.
16.2.3 Equipment use and maintenance

1. The use equipment includes: in addition to the general equipment for dredging
and testing, it should also include generators, air compressors, special airbags,
curing equipment (UV curing spot CIPP), etc.
2. If you need to clear the roots, in addition to being equipped with a general-
purpose high-pressure cleaner, you should also be equipped with a dedicated
cleaning head or a pipe robot.
16.2.4 Preparation before renovation construction

1. Preparation process: periscope pre-detection (severe clogging in the pipe) plug-
ging the pipeline—high-pressure water jet dredging and cleaning CCTV inspec-
tion to find pipeline defect points to judge whether to use localized renovation
construction—localized renovation equipment, personnel, material preparation;
QV pre-preparation inspection (if blocking in the pipe is not serious, CCTV can
inspect it) CCTV inspection looks for defects in the pipeline to determine whether
to use the localized renovation—localized renovation equipment, personnel, and
material preparation.
2. When using high-pressure water jet dredging and cleaning, all silt in the pipeline
should be removed. For tree roots and other special obstacles that may affect the
renovation of the new pipe installation, special cleaning heads or pipeline robots
should be equipped for dredging.
3. Redredging and cleaning if necessary.
4. If the test finds voids in the soil around the pipeline, drilling and grouting should
be used to strengthen the soil around the pipeline. Before spot curing and reno-
vation on site, the soil around the pipe should be grouted and strengthened. The
grouting liquid needs to fill the interior of the soil layer and the gap, to form
an anti-seepage curtain, to strength the stability of the soil around the pipe, to
16.2 Spot CIPP 91
prevent the loss of soil around the pipeline, to improve the bearing capacity of
the foundation soil of the pipeline.
5. The airbag selection for localized renovation should consider the consistency
with the inner diameter of the pipeline.
16.2.5 Spot CIPP Construction

1. Felt cutting: According to the situation of the pipeline to be renovated, cut the
glass fiber felt that matches the size of the pipeline. The length of the felt cloth
should be the circumference of the pipe +200 mm to ensure that the felt cloth
partially overlaps on the airbag to ensure that the felt cloth can closely adhere to
the mother pipe; The width of the felt cloth should ensure that both sides exceed
the defect length of the pipeline by more than 10 cm.
2. Resin curing agent mixing: Firstly, mix the appropriate amount of resin and curing
agent mixture according to the formula ratio required by the resin supplier. The
amount of resin should be enough to fill the fiber hose, and it should be increased
by 5–10% than the design amount. Then mix with a stirring device to make the
mixed liquid free of foam and record the mixed humidity. A sample shall be
kept for each batch of resin mixture during construction for testing the curing
performance.
3. Resin penetration: Use an appropriate spatula to evenly apply the resin mixture
to the glass fiber felt cloth and fold the felt cloth to the design value. In order
to improve the construction quality and reduce the carried air amount, rollers
should be used to roll the resin felt cloth.
4. Felt cylinder positioning installation: The resin-impregnated felt cylinder is
installed through the airbag. In order to form an insulating layer between the
airbag and the pipeline during construction, the polyethylene (PE) protective
film is used to bind the airbag first, and then the felt pipe is bound to the airbag
with tape to prevent it from sliding or falling. When the airbag is sent into the
renovated pipe section, the air pipe should be connected, and the felt pipe should
be prevented from touching the inner wall of the pipe (UV type should also put
the curing lamp and cable into the pipe).
5. Reset and curing: After the airbag is in place, use an air compressor to pressurize
the airbag to inflate. Inflation should be slow and uniform. The pressure at the
room temperature curing airbag should be kept within 0.15 MPa (UV control
pressure should be halved) to make the felt cylinder tight, stick to the wall. The
air pressure needs to be maintained for a certain period of time until it reaches
full curing under normal temperature (UV type also needs light).
6. After fully curing, release the airbag pressure, drag it out of the pipeline, and
record the curing time and pressure.
7. When multiple lining pipes are used for extended renovation, the curing should
start from the downstream, and the length of each section should be no less than
100 mm.
16.2.6 Quality assurance measures

1. Equipment operators should strictly abide by the equipment operation rules.
2. The end of the liner is smoothly joined to the pipe; when the renovated length
is extended and multiple lining pipes are used for lap renovation, the lap joint
should be smooth and meet the pressure of the upstream port and the downstream
port.
16.3 Stainless Steel Foam Sleeve
16.3.1 Scope of application

1. Applicable pipe are reinforced concrete, plastic pipes, ductile iron pipes and other
synthetic materials for rainwater, sewage and water supply pipes.
2. Suitable for the renovation of localized damage to drainage pipes with a pipe
diameter of 150–1350 mm.
3. Applicable structural defects of pipelines are disjointed and leaking, the basic
structure of the pipeline is basically stable, the line shape of the pipeline is not
significantly changed, and the wall of the pipeline is solid and not crisp.
4. Suitable for preventive renovation when there is leakage or criticality at the
pipeline interface.
5. It is not suitable for the renovation of structural defects such as broken pipeline
foundations, inverted joints of pipelines, severe misalignment of pipeline joints,
and severe deformation of pipeline lines.
16.3.2 Construction design and materials

1. The stainless-steel foam sleeve is divided into two layers, which are composed of
stainless-steel material and a filler containing polyester foam rubber. A stainless-
steel foam sleeve with sponge attached to its outside is installed at the leakage
point of the pipeline. The sponge absorbs the polyester foam glue slurry after the
installation is in place, use an inflation bladder to make it close to the wall of the
pipe, and the slurry expands between the stainless steel and the pipe to achieve
the purpose of stopping water.
2. The design strength of the stainless-steel foam sleeve needs to ensure and
restore the original pipeline design function. The structure of the repaired pipe
is improved in strength and chemical resistance. The foam filler can provide
structural protection.
3. Stainless steel sleeves should use austenitic stainless steel 304 or stainless steel
316.
4. The foaming agent adopts the polymer chemical grouting plugging material
produced by the polymerization chemical reaction of a polyisocyanate and
polyether, etc. which has a good effect of stopping the leakage of the concrete
structure.
16.3 Stainless Steel Foam Sleeve 93
16.3.3 Equipment use and maintenance

1. The equipment used includes generator, blower, hoist, etc.
2. The equipment required for the localized on-site curing renovation includes
conventional equipment and special equipment. The conventional equipment is
used and maintained according to relevant regulations and instructions, and the
special equipment is used and maintained according to the equipment instruction
manual.
16.3.4 Preparation before renovation

1. Use high-pressure water to remove all the garbage, tree roots and other materials
in the pipeline that may affect the renovation.
2. Sewage pipelines that need to be renovated should be tested and recorded with
closed-circuit television.
3. All obstacles are recorded, and repeated cleaning if necessary.
4. Pipeline dredging and plugging: plugging of pipelines, pumping, dredging,
poisoning detection and protection—looking for leakage points and breakage
points—stopping water and plugging.
5. Borehole grouting and soil reinforcement: Before localized on-site curing and
renovation, the soil around the pipe should be grouted and reinforced. The
grouting liquid fills the interior and voids of the soil layer to form an anti-seepage
curtain to strengthen the stability of the soil around the pipe and improve the
pipeline the bearing capacity of the foundation soil.
16.3.5 Renovation construction

1. Put the stainless-steel foam sleeve on the ground outside the rubber airbag with
wheels, the innermost is the airbag, the middle layer is the stainless-steel reel,
and the outermost layer is the sponge reel coated with styrofoam.
2. Use the paint roller to evenly coat the foam layer on the outermost sponge layer
of the foam sleeve and calculate the volume expansion 3–7 times after foaming.
3. Connect the TV camera, rubber air bag and stainless-steel foam sleeve in series.
Under the pulling of the cable, the air bag with wheels and the reel enter the
pipeline from the inspection well or the operation port.
4. Under the guidance of the TV camera, position the sleeve at the interface to be
repaired.
5. Start the air pump to inflate the rubber airbag. The expansion of the airbag is the
expansion of the retracted reel and it is close to the pipe wall.
6. When the sleeve is inflated, the positioning card of the stainless-steel sleeve will
lock the reel so that it will not rebound after the airbag is deflated.
7. The stainless-steel foam sleeve, sponge styrofoam and cement pipe are glued
together, and the styrofoam is consolidated after a few hours.
8. The quality after renovation is checked by the TV equipment to see if there is
slurry coming out around the stainless-steel foam sleeve and whether the water
leakage point achieves the water-stop effect.
16.3.6 Quality assurance measures

1. Check whether all equipment is operating properly before construction, and list
equipment tools.
2. During the installation process, check the renovation points in the video to remove
any obstacles that may affect the installation.
3. Make sure the amount of all styrofoam, and properly lock the stainless-steel foam
sleeve to ensure the quality of installation.
4. Check by CCTV to determine whether the renovation quality is qualified, check
whether the interface is smooth after renovated, whether the buckle is firmly
connected, and whether the foaming agent evenly foams, etc.
