B. Plugging:
1. Prior to installation of the liner, the Contractor shall locate all existing service connections up to 2” in diameter and internally plug by video camera directed internal robotics these corporation valve connections as recommended by the manufacturer.
2. All plugs shall be sized for the respective water taps and shall be designed to prevent resin migration into the service.
3. The service plugs used in this process shall be able to withstand the temperatures and pressures expected during the installation and cure of the
CIPP.
C. After both the lining is complete and the pressure testing is performed, reconnect existing services up through 2” in diameter from the interior of the water main using video camera directed robotics that remove a small, circular section of the liner to expose the corporation valve opening.
D. Reconnections shall be free of burrs, frayed edges, and other restrictions preventing free water flow, and shall be opened to the size of their original
492.023.004 33 01 10.72-13 diameter and to a depth required to completely open the water service connection to the residence served.
E. If required, back flush the reinstated service line from the house or meter.
F. Services that cannot be reinstated internally by robotics because of technical limitations, shall be reinstated externally thru local excavations and shall be done at the Contractor’s expense.
G. These shall be reconnected by use of agency approved mechanical fittings.
H. This may include saddled style services which may be specified for external reconnection.
3.10 CIPP END TERMINATION FITTINGS
A. Terminating CIPP linings can be performed in one of the following manners:
1. If the end of the host pipe is determined to be structurally sound and its inside surface is not deteriorated, the CIPP can be terminated near the end of the host pipe and made watertight using a WEKO® Internal End Seal;
or equal.
2. An elastomeric internal seal is mechanically secured onto the inside surface of the cut back CIPP end and at the end of the host pipe inner surface.
3. The CIPP can be terminated within a short Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP), or other material approved by the Owner, pipe spool section having the same inside diameter as the rehabilitated host pipe and a conventional outside diameter matching the closure pipe used to reconnect the piping system.
4. The selected spool section, with appropriate surface preparation, offers a repeatable, high quality adhesive bond to a clean, dry and prepared material inner surface creating a watertight seal and a secure CIPP connection to accommodate all the stresses that may be created by the CIPP installation.
5. If the Contractor, at his discretion, may also elect to install a WEKO® Internal End Seal at the end of the termination spool section to ensure water tightness.
B. Adhesive sealing which attempts to provide a seal between the CIPP and the rehabilitated host pipe wall at the termination will not be accepted.
C. The mechanical end fittings shall be rated by the Manufacturer for the operating pressure specified and be independently tested in conjunction with the proposed liner to ensure a long-term watertight connection, independent of the host pipe.
33 01 10.72-14 492.023.004
3.11 PIPELINE RECONNECTION AND CLEAN-UP
A. After project completion, the Contractor shall return the piping system to service by closure of all access pits with appropriate pipe spools, valves, and other relevant pipe fittings.
B. Backfilling of all access pits shall be performed with care to ensure material is properly placed and not dropped onto closure pipes and fittings until a suitable depth of material is above the closure pipes/fittings.
C. Upon acceptance of the installation, the Contractor will restore the project area affected by the operations.
