In November, Insituform® supplied a CIPP Felt liner for the successful rehabilitation of a 200-metre section of combined sewer on Zweinaundorfer Straße, Leipzig, Germany. This project, carried out on behalf of Leipziger Wasserbetriebe, is part of a larger infrastructure renewal effort across the city. Swietelsky-Faber GmbH Kanalsanierung managed the installation, with Insituform® providing the high-quality CIPP Felt solution and technical support.
The sewer had an egg-shaped profile (1100/1310 x 19mm), requiring a tailored solution that would restore its structural integrity. Insituform® supplied the necessary materials, and the liner was installed and cured using the hot water method, offering a durable and effective rehabilitation solution.
CIPP Felt Liner Solution for Leipzig Sewer Rehabilitation
Insituform® supplied a high-quality CIPP Felt liner with a 19mm wall thickness, specifically designed to restore the structural integrity of the existing sewer. The key steps in this project included:
CIPP Liner Supply
- Insituform® provided a synthetic fibre liner designed for this project, ensuring that the 19mm thick liner met the required specifications for restoring the sewer’s durability.
Hot Water Curing Method
- The liner was installed by Swietelsky-Faber GmbH Kanalsanierung using an inversion tower, and then cured with mobile heating systems using the hot water method.
- This method was ideal for the site’s challenging conditions, including groundwater infiltration and misaligned pipes, ensuring the liner set quickly and seamlessly, forming a durable inner pipe.
Efficient CIPP Felt Installation Setup
Insituform® provided full on-site support, including the supply of a cooling container and installation of a conveyor ramp, ensuring efficient and precise placement of the liner. The setup allowed the Swietelsky-Faber team to position the liner within a few hours, maintaining a fast workflow.
Ergebnis des Projekts
The project successfully restored the sewer’s structural integrity, providing a long-lasting, reliable solution for the local infrastructure. Key outcomes included:
Long-Lasting Solution
The CIPP Felt liner effectively addressed the sewer’s condition, creating a seamless, durable inner pipe that ensures the system’s long-term reliability and performance.
Efficient Execution
With the combined expertise of Swietelsky-Faber GmbH Kanalsanierung and the high-quality CIPP Felt liner from Insituform®, the installation was completed efficiently, minimising disruption to the local community.
