As one of the most widely used rehabilitation methods, CIPP has applications in sewer, water, gas, chemical and district heating pipelines ranging in diameter from 0.1 to 2.8 meters (2–110 inches). The process of CIPP involves inserting and running a felt lining into a preexisting pipe that is the subject of repair.
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of replacing buried pipelines (such as sewer, water, or natural gas pipes) without the need for a traditional construction trench. "Launching and receiving pits" replace the trench needed by conventional pipe-laying.
The National Association of Sewer Service Companies or NASSCO is a not-for-profit North American trade organization, established in 1976 "to increase the awareness of aging underground infrastructure and to provide viable solutions through education, technical resources and industry advocacy". [1]
UKSTT offers a Trenchless Enquiry Service to assist people in all area's of trenchless technology. In the US, The National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) was established in 1976 and is the oldest such association with a trenchless focus. The North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) was established in 1990.
A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.
The plastic discharge pipe of a pressure sewer is much more robust and can accommodate substantial movements in the ground without failing. [5] Costs can be lower than conventional sewers since the pipework is much cheaper and there is no requirement for manholes or other intermediate infrastructure.
A dramatic southward push of Arctic air into the eastern two-thirds of the country this week will result in bitterly cold conditions with temperatures trending 20-40 degrees Fahrenheit below ...
A vacuum sewer or pneumatic sewer system is a method of transporting sewage from its source to a sewage treatment plant. It maintains a partial vacuum , with an air pressure below atmospheric pressure inside the pipe network and vacuum station collection vessel.
