This paper presents a field test performance and evaluation of a new in situ rehabilitation technology for reinforcing long lengths (1 to 20 miles) of weakened and deteriorated pipelines without excavation. One of the unique aspects of this process is its ability to simultaneously replace metal loss and protect pipelines against further corrosion attack. In addition, its unique applicability to long lengths of line without excavation makes the process extremely cost effective. Details cover the adaptation of material, surface preparation of the pipeline, application technique and a field test and evaluation of the entire process followed by an inspection after 12 months of inservice field experience.
