About this file
This document is a technical specification for Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation, likely for a municipal or county storm drainage system infrastructure project. The specification provides detailed requirements for installing a resin-impregnated flexible tube that will reconstruct existing pipelines and conduits, with the goal of creating a continuous, tight-fitting pipe liner. The CIPP installation process involves inserting a flexible tube impregnated with resin into existing pipes, which is then cured using hot water under hydrostatic pressure or steam pressure, creating a new pipe within the existing infrastructure.
The specification sets rigorous standards for product manufacturers and installers, requiring proven products with a 50-year design life, third-party testing verification, and ISO 9000 quality management certification. Key technical requirements include specific physical properties for the CIPP, such as a minimum flexural modulus of 250,000-400,000 psi, wall thickness requirements based on pipe diameter (ranging from 6mm for 12" pipes to 27mm for 60" pipes), and detailed installation procedures. The document outlines comprehensive requirements for tube materials, resin systems, installation methods, branch connection reinstatement, inspection protocols, and final testing, with payment to be calculated on a per linear foot of lined pipe basis.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CURED-IN-PLACE PIPE (CIPP)
1. INTENT
1.1 It is the intent of this specification to provide for the reconstruction of pipelines and conduits by the installation of a resin-impregnated flexible tube, which is tightly formed to the original conduit. The resin is cured using either hot water under hydrostatic pressure or steam pressure within the tube. The Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) will be continuous and tight fitting.
2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS
2.1 This specification references standards from the American Society for Testing and Materials, such as: ASTM F1216 (Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines and Conduits by the Inversion and
Curing of a Resin-Impregnated Tube), ASTM F1743 (Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines and
Conduits by Pulled-in-Place Installation of Cured-in-Place Thermosetting Resin Pipe (CIPP)), ASTM D5813 (Cured-in-Place Thermosetting Resin Sewer Pipe), ASTM D790 (Test Methods for Flexural Properties of Un-reinforced and Reinforced Plastics and Electrical Insulating
Materials), and D2990 (Tensile, Compressive, and Flexural Creep and Creep-Rupture of Plastics) which are made a part hereof by such reference and shall be the latest edition and revision thereof.
In case of conflicting requirements between this specification and these referenced documents, this specification will govern.
3. PRODUCT MANUFACTURER/INSTALLER QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Since products are intended to have a 50-year design life, and in order to minimize the
Owner's risk, only proven products with substantial successful long-term track records will be approved.
Products and Installers must meet all of the following criteria to be deemed Commercially
Acceptable:
3.1.1 For an Installer to be considered as Commercially Proven, the Installer must satisfy all insurance, financial, and bonding requirements of the Owner.
3.1.2 Storm Drainage rehabilitation products must provide third party test results supporting the structural performance (short-term and long-term) of the product and such data shall be satisfactory to the Owner. No product will be approved without independent third-party testing verification.
3.1.3 Both the rehabilitation manufacturing and installation processes shall operate under a quality management system which is third-party certified to ISO 9000 or other recognized organization standards. Proof of certification shall be required.
3. l.4 The owner authorizes the use of proven materials that serve to enhance the pipe performance specified herein. Proven materials have passed independent laboratory testing, not excluding long-term (10,000 hour) structural behavior testing and have been successfully installed to repair failing host pipes in the U. S. for at Least 5 years. In addition to the aforementioned, the owner may require that the contractor demonstrate that the enhancements proposed exceed the specifications herein, prior to the installation of the enhanced material systems. This section in no way shall be interpreted as authorization to deviate from the minimum standard practices set forth herein.
4. MATERIALS
4.1 Tube - The sewn Tube shall consist of one or more layers of absorbent non-woven felt fabric and meet the requirements of ASTM F 1216, Section 5.1 or ASTM F 1743, Section 5.2.1 or ASTM D 5813, Sections 5 and 6. The tube shall be constructed to withstand installation pressures, have sufficient strength to bridge missing pipe and stretch to fit irregular pipe sections. The tube can contain either carbon or fiberglass reinforcement. Tube shall be manufactured in the USA by the installer.
4.1.1 The wet-out Tube shall have a relatively uniform thickness that when compressed at installation pressures will equal or exceed the calculated minimum design CIPP wall thickness. Tube shall be wet out by the installer.
4.1.2 The Tube shall be manufactured to a size that when installed will tightly fit the internal circumference and length of the original pipe. Allowance should be made for circumferential stretching during installation.
4.1.3 The outside layer of the Tube shall be coated with an impermeable, flexible membrane that will contain the resin and allow the resin impregnation (wet out) procedure to be monitored.
4.1.4 The Tube shall contain no intermediate or encapsulated elastomeric layers. No material shall be included in the Tube that may cause delamination in the cured CIPP. No dry or unsaturated layers shall be evident.
4.1.5 The wall color of the interior pipe surface of CIPP after installation shall be a relatively light reflective color so that a clear detailed examination with closed circuit television inspection equipment may be made.
4.1.6 Seams in the Tube shall be stronger than the non-seamed felt material.
4.1.7 The Tube shall be marked for distance at regular intervals along its entire length, not to exceed 5 ft. Such markings shall include the Manufacturers name or identifying symbol.
4.2 Resin - The resin system shall be a corrosion resistant polyester or vinyl ester system including all required catalysts, initiators that when cured within the tube create a composite that satisfies the requirements of ASTM F 1216, ASTM D 5813 and ASTM F 1743, the physical properties herein, and those which are to be utilized in the submitted and approved design of the CIPP for this project. The resin shall produce a CIPP that will comply with the structural and chemical resistance requirements of this specification.
5. STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
5.1 The CIPP shall be designed as per ASTM F1216, Appendix X.1. The CIPP design shall assume no bonding to the original pipe wall.
5.2 The Contractor must have performed long-term testing for flexural creep of the CIPP pipe material installed by his Company. Such testing results are to be used to determine the long-term, time dependent flexural modulus to be utilized in the product design. This is a performance test of the materials (Tube and Resin) and general workmanship of the installation and curing as defined within the relevant ASTM standard. A percentage of the instantaneous flexural modulus value (as measured by ASTM D 790 testing) will be used in design calculations for external buckling. The percentage, or the long-term creep retention value utilized, will be verified by this testing.
Retention values exceeding 50% of the short-term test results shall not be applied unless substantiated by qualified third party test data to the Owner's satisfaction. The materials utilized for the contracted project shall be of a quality equal to or better than the materials used in the long-term test with respect to the initial flexural modulus used in the CIPP design.
5.3 The Enhancement Factor 'K' to be used in 'Partially Deteriorated' Design conditions shall be assigned a value of 7.
5.4 The layers of the cured CIPP shall be uniformly bonded. It shall not be possible to separate any two layers with a probe or point of a knife blade so that the layers separate cleanly, or the probe or knife blade moves freely between the layers. If the layers separate during field sample testing, new samples will be required to be obtained from the installed pipe. Any reoccurrence may cause rejection of the work.
5.5 The cured pipe material (CIPP) shall have at least these structural properties for structural performance, as listed below.

These test results must verify that the CIPP physical properties specified in Section 5.5 have been achieved in previous field applications. Samples for this project shall be made and tested as described in Section 10.1.
7. INSTALLATION RESPONSIBILITIES FOR INCIDENTAL ITEMS
7.1 It shall be the responsibility of the Owner to locate and designate all manhole access points and provide rights-of-access to these locations. 1f a street must be closed to traffic because of the orientation of the pipes, the Owner shall institute the actions necessary to provide access during this for the mutually agreed time period. The Contractor shall also provide access to water hydrants for cleaning, installation and other process related work items requiring water.
7.2 Cleaning of Storm Drainage Lines - The Contractor, when required, shall remove all internal debris out of the line that will interfere with the installation of CIPP. The Contractor shall also provide a dumpsite for all debris removed from the storm drainage lines during the cleaning operation. Unless stated otherwise, it is assumed this site will be at or near the sewage treatment facility to which the debris would have arrived in absence of the cleaning operation. Any hazardous waste material encountered during this project will be considered as a changed condition.
7.3 Bypassing Storm Water- The Contractor, when required, shall provide for the flow of storm water around the section or sections of pipe designated for repair. Plugging the line at an existing upstream manhole and pumping the flow into a downstream manhole or adjacent system shall make the bypass. The pump(s) and bypass line(s) shall be of adequate capacity to accommodate the flow. The Owner may require a detail of the bypass plan to be submitted.
7.4 Inspection of Pipelines - inspection of pipelines shall be performed by experienced personnel trained in locating breaks, obstacles and service connections using close circuit television (CCTV) inspection techniques. The pipeline interior shall be carefully inspected to determine the location of any conditions that may prevent proper installation of CIPP. These shall be noted and corrected. A videotape and suitable written log for each line section shall be produced for later reference by the Owner.
7.5 Line Obstructions - It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to clear the line of obstructions such as solids and roots that will prevent the insertion of CIPP. If pre-installation inspection reveals an obstruction such as a protruding service connection, dropped joint, or a collapse that will prevent the installation process, that was not evident on the pre-bid video and it cannot be removed by conventional pipe cleaning equipment, then the Contractor shall make a point repair excavation to uncover and remove or repair the obstruction. Such excavation shall be approved in writing by the Owner’s representative prior to the commencement of the work and shall be considered as a separate pay item.
7.6 Public Notification - The Contractor shall make every effort to maintain service usage throughout the duration of the project. In the event that a connection (drainage structure) will be out of service, the longest period of no service shall be 8 hours. A public notification program shall be implemented, and shall as a minimum, require the Contractor to be responsible for contacting each home or business connected to the system and informing them of the work to be conducted, and when the system will be off-line. The
Contractor shall also provide the following:

8.1.1 Resin Impregnation - The quantity of resin used for tube impregnation shall be sufficient to fill the volume of air voids in the tube with additional allowances for polymerization shrinkage and the potential loss of resin during installation through cracks and irregularities in the original pipe wall, as applicable.
8.1.2 Tube Insertion - The wet out tube shall be positioned in the pipeline using either inversion or a pull-in method as defined within relevant ASTM standards previously stipulated. If pulled into place, a power winch or its equivalent should be utilized and care should be exercised not to damage the tube as a result of pull-in friction. The tube should be pulled-in or inverted through an existing manhole or approved access point and fully extend to the next designated manhole or termination point.
8.1.3 Temperature gauges shall be placed between the tube and the host pipe's invert position to monitor the temperatures during the cure cycle.
8.1.4 Curing shall be accomplished by utilizing hot water under hydrostatic pressure or steam pressure in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended cure schedule. A cool-down process shall be conducted that complies with the resin manufacturer's specification.
8.1.5 An impermeable liner shall be placed immediately upstream and downstream of the host pipe or continuous pipe runs , prior to liner insertion, to capture any possible raw resin spillage during installation and shall dispose of any materials in accordance with local regulations.
9. REINSTATEMENT OF BRANCH CONNECTIONS (DRAINAGE STRUCTURES
9.1 It is the intent of these specifications that branch connections to drainage structures be re-opened without excavation, utilizing a remotely controlled cutting device, monitored by a CCTV. The Contractor shall certify a minimum of two complete functional cutters plus key spare components are on the job site before each installation or are in the immediate area of the jobsite and can be quickly obtained. Unless otherwise directed by the Owner or his authorized representative, all laterals will be reinstated.
