Nearly 500,000 miles of industrial pipeline in the US are almost three times older than their expected usefulness. And aging pipes that are improperly maintained can cause a variety of environmental problems. It is essential for facilities to have a system of planned maintenance procedures to prevent structural failures related to inflow/infiltration and exfiltration. Trenchless repair methods, often referred to as pipeline rehabilitation, require the plant engineer to consider a range of activities, including demand projection, system performance assessment, investigation, evaluation of defects and deficiencies, remedial options, and implementation. Two methods of pipeline rehabilitation, slip lining and cured-in-place, are described.
