III 1 Epoxy Coatings and Cement Mortar Lining - Cleaned

This document summarizes a presentation on epoxy coatings and cement mortar lining for pipe rehabilitation. It discusses the history of pipe rehabilitation technologies, including CIPP which has been used for over 40 years. Options for rehab include slip lining, pipe bursting, cement mortar lining, epoxy coatings, polyureas, and CIPP. Unlined cast iron pipes need rehab to improve water quality, flow capacity, and reduce breaks and corrosion. Cement mortar lining and polyurethane/polyurea coatings are applied through spray rigs. The rehab process requires access pits, bypass, cleaning, curing, and restoration.

PIPELINE REHABILITATION

UCT – 2017 Conference

Epoxy Coatings & Cement Mortar Lining


(and the Technical Talk)

Presenters – Lenny Assard & David Rosenberg, Michels Corporation


History & Evolution of
Pipe Rehabilitation
• Overview of Pipe Rehabilitation
 CIPP more than 40 years old for sewer mains
 Definition – same pipe, same trench, uses the existing host pipe
 CIPP for drinking water applications – more than 10 years old
 CML has been used for more than 70 years
 Epoxy / Spray-on coatings more than 20 years in the US

• Options for rehab - Products / Processes include: Slip lining, pipe


bursting, cement mortar lining (CML), epoxy coatings, polyureas, & CIPP

• New Technologies – Continued enhancements to existing technologies –


including UV liners & Geopolymers
Why Unlined cast iron host pipes
need to be rehabbed?
• Improve Fire Flow Capacity
• Increase Hazen Williams Coefficient
• Improve Water Quality
• Reduces Energy Cost
• Reduces potential for water main
breaks
• Reduction of corrosion to host pipe
Where or When to Rehabilitate Mains?
• Poor water quality areas – heavy tuberculation
• Low flow areas
• Older neighborhoods
• Look where past water main breaks have
occurred (develop a scoring system)
• Evaluate open areas versus established
neighborhood
• Dig & replace versus rehab?
Cement Mortar
• Non Structural
• Spray Applied
• Used mainly for water quality
• AWWA STD C-602 – Performance Standard
• Used for mains over 3 inches in diameter
• In the US since 1933, 24” and above
• Since 1950, smaller diameters
• Thickness varies depending on host pipe &
diameters – 3/16 to 5/16 inches
Polyurethane/Polyureas
• Non Structural – Semi Structural
• Spray Applied
• Calibration of rig required to maintain proper thickness
• Temperatures, mixing rations, weights of material
critical
• Will be used in host pipes 3 inches and above
• Thickness depends on application & host pipe
material
Other Rehab Options
• Pipe Bursting
• Upsizing may be possible
• PVC, HDPE, DI materials can be used
• Service issues
• Slip Lining
• PVC, HDPE
• Smaller diameter
• Service Issues
Additional Processes Required to
Perform Work
• Install temporary bypass
• Create access pits to the host pipe
• Clean & CCTV the host pipes prior to
performing the work
• May require a dry host pipe prior to performing
the work
Continued –Additional
Processes Required to Perform
Work
• Cure is required to set the product
• Restore existing services
• Perform pressure testing
• Chlorinate the mains – perform BAC-T tests
• Flushing of water mains
• Site restoration
Project Steps
• Provide access to the main – similar for all rehab
options
• Clean & CCTV similar for all rehab options
• Temporary by-pass – dependent on lining rehab option
• Traffic control
• Apply lining & cure
• Cement Mortar – 24 Hrs
• Epoxy - 16 Hrs
• Polyurethanes - Less than 30 minutes
• Polyureas - Less than 30 minutes
• Site restoration
Temporary By-Pass
Spray Rig - CML
