Project F238:
Infiltration tightness at materials changeover and transition points
The refurbishing of such laterals is, in practice, frequently performed in conjunction with the refurbishing of main sewers, by means, for example, of CIPP liners, and this application is therefore of particular interest for comparative tests and analyses. Large-scale tests on a 1:1 scale are planned.
Essential acceptance criteria for “infiltration tightness” have already been evolved, and an informationally useful and practically orientated test programme for comparative tests at material changeover and transition points drafted, during an initial phase of this research project.
