Chapter 12—Renovation of <strong>Conduits</strong>fabricate the slipliner in sections, so finished sections can be installed while othersegments are being fabricated. Sometimes a separate procurement contract for thesteel pipe slipliner is issued early, so fabrication can begin sooner.Joints. - Steel pipe slipliner joints should be welded in accordance with AWWAC206 (2005). Flanged steel joint rings should be fabricated in accordance withAWWA C207 (2002). “Full face” rubber gaskets between the flanges are required inorder to ensure a watertight joint. Fittings should have a factory-applied coating toprotect against corrosion. Bolts should be of stainless steel or low allow steel andshould be field coated after installation.Flotation.—Flotation is a concern for steel pipe slipliners, but not as much as it isfor thermoplastic slipliners. The weight of the steel pipe slipliner helps to prevent itfrom being displaced upward by the fluid pressure of the grout in the annulusbetween the existing conduit and steel pipe slipliner. Spacers or jack screws arealways required to secure the steel pipe slipliner from movement during groutplacement.Entrance and terminal structures.—The steel pipe sliplining of an existing conduitmay require partial or full removal and replacement of certain structures to improverelease capabilities or to facilitate construction. For guidance on the design andconstruction of entrance and terminal structures, see section 3.4.12.1.2.2 Construction considerationsThe designer must evaluate a number of construction parameters when consideringsteel pipe for use in sliplining. A few of the most significant parameters include:• Handling and storage• Installation• Repairs to the steel pipe slipliner prior to or during the insertion process• Grouting• Postinspection and acceptance• Maintenance and repair of the completed steel pipe sliplinerThese parameters are further discussed in the following paragraphs. On a case-bycasebasis, the designer may need to consider additional parameters, depending onthe construction requirements of the specific application.319
