Cured In-Place Pipe (CIPP) (Stage 2)

The scope of this project is to demonstrate ‘fitness for purpose’ of CIP lining technologies, focusing on iron mains of 8” diameter and above operating up to 2 bar pressure.

Stage 2 of this project directly follows the successful completion of Stage 1, which has developed the Performance Specifications and Best Practice Guide for CIP applications. This aspect of the project will look to review available pipe liner/lining technologies in both the gas and water sectors, and to develop performance specifications and proposed best practice suitable for UK gas distribution deployment aligned to the prevailing commercial and safety regulatory regimes.

Benefits

The project will be deemed to be successful if the following criteria are met:

Production of a contractor certification scheme
Successful completion of field trials after 12 months from commencement of the project
Production of a revised risk assessment framework
Identification of a range of CIP technologies and solutions deemed ‘fit-for-purpose’ as a remediation approach for iron mains up to 2 bar pressure over a range of diameter classes from 8” to 36”
A cost benefit analysis of the new technology against current methods.
