Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9708487A1] A method for rehabiliting existing pipelines in-situ is disclosed. A tubular liner (5) of a generally absorbent material is formed and at least one expandable bladder (7) is fed into the liner (5). The liner (5) is impregnated with a cold curable resin. The external surface of the liner and/or the internal surface of the pipeline (8) to be rehabilited is coated with a water resistant adhesive coating (16) prior to being fed into the pipeline (8) to be rehabilited together with its associated bladder (7). The bladder (7) is then inflated with a gaseous fluid to force the liner (5) against the internal wall (19) of said pipeline; and the inflation is maintained until the resin impregnated liner (5) has cured. The bladder (7) may then be removed from the cured liner (5).
