Pipeline Rehabilitation with Polyolefin Pipe
This paper provides an introductory discussion on the rehabilitation of a deteriorated pipe structure by insertion renewal with continuous lengths of polyolefin pipe. This sliplining or...
Design of Ductile Iron Pipe Systems
To ensure a reliable, low maintenance infrastructure capable of withstanding the test of time, proper initial design is essential. The basis of the design standard for ductile iron pipe...
Sliplining with Ductile Iron Pipe
The utilization of Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) as an alternative to be considered for sliplining rehabilitation of sewer pipelines is evaluated. A recent experience in sliplining a failing...
Rehabilitation of Terminal Ballast Water Piping
In order to maintain the integrity of the ballast water piping system at the Marine Terminal of the trans-Alaska pipeline, a composite lining system was installed in the 42-inch (1,067...
