Main Objective
The project will conduct an assessment of structural liners and composites and their interaction with the pipe to demonstrate their capability to carry the loads of a degraded host pipe. The focus will be on the systems installed using trenchless technologies for remediation to the pipe and its appurtenances. This will be achieved by:
- Establish performance criteria, testing and analytical procedures.
- Coordinate field installations with the manufacturers and organizations to establish best practices.
Public Abstract
The project will conduct an engineering assessment of structural liners and their interaction with the host pipe to determine the characteristics required for the liners to carry the internal and external loads of a degraded host pipe. The focus will be on systems installed using trenchless technologies which can provide remediation to the pipe and its appurtenances (e.g., fittings, flanges, and couplings). This will be achieved by the following:
a) Establish the performance criteria required for evaluating structural liners for both distribution and high pressure liquid and gas systems (i.e., up to 350 psig).
b) Determine the testing methods and analytical procedures to estimate the short and long-term performance of these systems.
c) Coordinate field installations with the pipeline operators and establish best practices for selecting and installing the structural liners.
d) Work with the manufacturers and professional organizations (e.g., ASME) in incorporating the developed knowledge of designing, testing, and installing these systems into standard practices for their qualification.
