Thermopipe®

A structural, close-fit pressure pipe rehabilitation system

What it is and what problems it solves:
· Thermopipe® is a polyester reinforced polyethylene structural lining system for the rehabilitation of pressure mains.
· Stops leakage by bridging and sealing holes and faulty joints
· Improves quality of water
· Reduces social cost because of low foot print and minimal downtime
· Extends life of water infrastructure - 50-year design life

Technical capabilities: 
· Independent structural lining with internal pressure rating of 12 bar (16 bar for 100 mm thru 200 mm diametre)
· Diametre ranges from 60 to 300 mm 
· 50-year design life
· Rapid installation; up to 1,000 LF in just a few hours
· Negotiates multiple bends

Technical Envelope

Thermopipe® is a thin reinforced polyethylene liner that is ideally suited for rehabilitation of distribution water mains and other pressurized piping systems of up to 300 mm in diametre. Supplied as a factory-folded “C” shape liner, the Thermopipe® is winched into the host pipe from a reel and reverted with air and steam. Once inflated and heated, the liner forms a close-fit within the host pipe, creating a jointless, leak-free lining system able to independently carry the full system internal design pressure. The installation process is simple and can usually be completed within an 8-hour time period.

In addition to potable water distribution mains, Thermopipe® may be suitable for:
• Sewer force mains
• Fire water mains
• Industrial pressure applications

Approvals:

• Certified by NSF International as complying with the requirements of ANSI/NSF Standard 61
• UK DWI Approval
• Manufactured under a Quality Management System approved to ISO 9000
