Message: Extra care should be taken to fully expand CIPP liner against large diameter conduit


CIPP was used on this project to rehabilitate an old bituminous coated 48-inch corrugated metal pipe. The downstream portion of the old CMP was replaced with a new reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and the upstream portion of the old CMP was slip lined with CIPP. The CIPP was installed through an access point at the gate tower and cured with circulating hot water.

After installation and curing was complete, it was noticed that the CIPP did not fit tightly against the existing CMP and there were gaps between the two pipes. Portions of annular space between the CIPP and the old CMP had to be grouted to fill these gaps. The problems with this installation were thought to be caused by the larger size of the original pipe (48-inch) and the distance from the CIPP manufacturing point to the project site. It was speculated that because of the long travel distance to the site, the CIPP began to cure enroute.
