Houston, Baltimore, Little Rock, Memphis, and Indianapolis were among other cities that established<br />

early CIPP rehabilitation programs (Iseley, 2011). By 1990, four l<strong>in</strong>er systems were reported to be<br />

available <strong>in</strong> the U.S. (see Table 2-1).<br />

As the orig<strong>in</strong>al patents on key aspects <strong>of</strong> the CIPP process expired, the breadth <strong>of</strong> competition <strong>in</strong>creased.<br />

Overall, s<strong>in</strong>ce 1971, it is estimated that about 40,000 miles (210 million ft) <strong>of</strong> CIPP l<strong>in</strong>ers have been<br />

<strong>in</strong>stalled worldwide. It is by far the lead<strong>in</strong>g method for rehabilitat<strong>in</strong>g gravity sewers.<br />

2.2.2 The CIPP Process. A CIPP project <strong>in</strong>volves a variety <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>vestigative, plann<strong>in</strong>g, and<br />

execution phases. Once a l<strong>in</strong>e has been identified as need<strong>in</strong>g rehabilitation or replacement, the<br />

characteristics <strong>of</strong> the l<strong>in</strong>e and the problems experienced will determ<strong>in</strong>e if the CIPP process is a suitable<br />

candidate for replacement. CIPP is generally available <strong>in</strong> diameters <strong>of</strong> 4 to 120 <strong>in</strong>., depend<strong>in</strong>g (especially<br />

<strong>in</strong> the larger diameters) on the supplier’s and contractor’s capabilities and experience. Guidance on this<br />

type <strong>of</strong> decision can be found <strong>in</strong> a variety <strong>of</strong> published sources on rehabilitation technologies and <strong>in</strong> the<br />

literature from manufacturers and suppliers. S<strong>of</strong>tware to support the method selection process also has<br />

been developed and a review <strong>of</strong> such s<strong>of</strong>tware development can be found <strong>in</strong> Matthews et al. (2011).<br />

Prior to the rel<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g work, the exist<strong>in</strong>g host pipe will be carefully exam<strong>in</strong>ed (typically us<strong>in</strong>g a closedcircuit<br />

television [CCTV] camera <strong>in</strong>spection) and any necessary additional measurements (such as pipe<br />

diameter) are collected. Data on pipe depth, soil type, and groundwater conditions will also be gathered.<br />

Based on this data, the follow<strong>in</strong>g major design parameters would be determ<strong>in</strong>ed for the use <strong>of</strong> CIPP <strong>in</strong><br />

gravity flow sewers:<br />

• Accurate measurements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>in</strong>ternal diameter <strong>of</strong> the host pipe and any variations <strong>in</strong><br />

diameter along <strong>in</strong>dividual sections <strong>of</strong> pipe to be rel<strong>in</strong>ed.<br />

• Any ovality <strong>in</strong> cross-section dimensions for the host pipe (more than 10% ovality is typically<br />

not considered suitable for rel<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g with CIPP because <strong>of</strong> greatly <strong>in</strong>creased thickness<br />

requirements for the l<strong>in</strong>er).<br />

• Whether the host pipe is considered structurally sound (i.e., the l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g is not required to<br />

support the surround<strong>in</strong>g soil load<strong>in</strong>g). If the pipe is not considered structurally sound, then<br />

additional data regard<strong>in</strong>g the potential soil load<strong>in</strong>g is required.
