Message: Sliplining large diameter pipe takes extra planning.

  • As part of a major dam rehabilitation project, an 84-inch arch concrete outlet was slip lined with a 72-inch diameter welded steel pipe.

  • Due to the pipe size and other construction restrictions, the steel pipe was inserted into the outlet in multiple sections. A trolley system for moving the pipe up the conduit was constructed by the contractor in order to both increase safety and to minimize damage to the pipe

  • After placement, the joints between the sections of pipe were welded. Each weld was tested to ensure there were no defects in the joints.

  • This sliplining project had a relatively large annular space to grout. Grout was placed in four separate lifts using a grouting gallery in order to control fluid pressure on the pipe, floatation of the pipe, bleed water from the grout, and the heat produced during the grout curing process.
