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.
· The polyethylene liner stops leakage by bridging and sealing holes and faulty joints with the liner
· Improves quality of water within the water main
· Reduces social cost of water main repair 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 170 psi (230 psi for 4” through 8”)
· Diameter ranges from 2.75” to 12”
· 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 12 inches in diameter. Supplied as a factory-folded “C” shape liner, the Thermopipe® polyethylene liner 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:
• Thermopipe polyethylene liner is certified by NSF International as complying with the requirements of ANSI/NSF Standard 61
• Manufactured under a Quality Management System approved to ISO 9000
