ASTM F1698-02(2015)e1

Standard Practice for Installation of Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC) Profile Strip Liner and Cementitious Grout for Rehabilitation of Existing Man-Entry Sewers and Conduits

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This practice is for use by designers and specifiers, regulatory agencies, owners, and inspection organizations involved in the rehabilitation of non-pressure sewers and conduits. As for any practice, modifications may be required for specific job conditions.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice describes the procedures for the rehabilitation of sewer lines and conduits by the installation of a field-fabricated PVC liner. After installation of the liner, cementitious grout is injected into the annular space between the liner and the existing sewer or conduit. The rehabilitation of the host structure by this installation practice results in a rigid composite structure (PVC/grout/existing pipe). This rehabilitation process may be used in a variety of gravity applications, such as sanitary sewers, storm sewers and process piping of man-entry sizes (36 to 144 in. in vertical dimension). The profile strips used for field fabrication of PVC liners are supplied in coils for spiral winding of the liner or in custom-cut flat panels for circumferential lining of all or any portion of the circumference of the host conduit (see Figs. 1 and 2).    
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Particular attention is drawn to those safety regulations and requirements involving entering into and working in confined spaces.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

FIG. 1 Example of Profile PVC Strip
3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.2.1 extruded PVC joiner strip—a companion product to the profile former strip of such configuration as to provide the locking
mechanism at the edges of the former strips; the joiner strip contains within it a coextruded flexible PVC seal which forms a
compression seal when mated with the edges of the former strips.
3.2.2 extruded PVC profile former strip—a product, available in various sizes, consisting of a smooth inner surface and a ribbed
outer surface (profile) with edge configurations to allow mechanical locking of adjacent strips.
3.2.3 production run—a continuous extrusion of a given profile type.
3.2.4 PVC liner—a product field fabricated from extruded PVC profile strip into a shape substantially conforming to the shape
of the existing pipe or conduit, for example, circular, oval, ovoid, and so forth (see Fig. 1).
4. Significance and Use
4.1 This practice is for use by designers and specifiers, regulatory agencies, owners, and inspection organizations involved in
the rehabilitation of non-pressure sewers and conduits. As for any practice, modifications may be required for specific job
conditions.
5. Materials
5.1 The extruded PVC profile strip (former and joiner) used for the field fabrication of PVC liner should be made as specified
in Specification D1735F1735.
5.2 The profile strip should be coiled in a continuous length as long as practical, or cut in custom length panels for storage and
shipping to the job site. Handling and storage should be in accordance with the manufacturer’s published recommendations.
5.3 The adhesive/sealant, used should be compatible with the PVC compound and the liner process, so as not to effect the
properties of the finished liner. (A polyurethane-base product is suggested.)

6.1 Cleaning and Inspection:

FIG. 2 Typical Installations with Panels
6.1.1 Prior to entering access areas such as manholes, and performing inspection or cleaning operations, an evaluation of the
atmosphere to determine the presence of toxic or flammable vapors or lack of oxygen shall be undertaken in accordance with local,
state, or federal safety and confined space entry regulations.
6.1.2 Cleaning of Pipeline—Internal debris should be removed from the existing pipeline. Gravity pipes should be cleaned with
hydraulically powered equipment, high-velocity jet cleaners, or a combination of these methods and manually directed

F1698 − 02 (2015)
high-pressure (2500-psi minimum) water blasting to ensure that the exposed pipe wall is free of contamination of foreign materials
and corrosion products and the surface is hard, competent original pipe material.
6.1.3 Inspection of Pipeline—Inspection of pipeline should be performed by experienced personnel trained in locating breaks,
obstacles, and service connections, either by direct visual observation or by closed-circuit television. The interior of the pipeline
should be carefully inspected to determine the location of any conditions that may prevent or adversely impact proper installation
of the profile liner, such as protruding service taps, collapsed or crushed pipe, significant line sags, and deflected joints. These
conditions should be noted, and as appropriate, corrected prior to installation.
6.1.4 Line Obstructions—The existing pipeline should be clear of obstructions that will prevent the proper placement of the
PVC liner. If inspection reveals an obstruction that cannot be removed by conventional equipment, then a point repair excavation
should be made to uncover and remove or repair the obstruction.
6.2 Bypassing—The profiled PVC liner process does not always require a dry pipeline and may be installed with some flow in
the existing pipe or lateral connections, or both. If necessary, the bypass should be made by plugging the line at a point upstream
of the pipe to be rehabilitated and pumping the flow to a downstream point or adjacent system. The pump and bypass lines should
be of adequate capacity and size to handle any extreme flows expected during the installation period.
6.2.1 Under certain conditions, part or all of the installation may be carried out with some flow in the existing pipeline or service
connections, or both.
6.3 PVC Liner Installation:
6.3.1 Liner Installation (Panels)—If the job requires the profiled PVC strips be provided in the form of panels or if the job
entails the lining of only a portion of the circumference, the panels should be cut and trimmed to fit as near as practical to the
internal circumference of the structure to be lined or to produce the required annulus (space between the liner and the pipe wall).
The panels should be placed square with the pipe wall, that is, circumferentially (see Fig. 2). The adjacent panel edges should be
locked together using the manufacturer-supplied joiner strip by means recommended by the manufacturer. End joints or supports
should be made with a manufacturer-supplied connector section or support (for example, “J” strips) and sealed with a bead of an
approved sealant/adhesive. If necessary, the panels may be shimmed off the wall to avoid discontinuities on the surface or to ensure
a minimum annulus required by the specified design. These shims should be of such a configuration as to not significantly impede
the flow of grout into the annulus.
6.3.2 Liner Installation (Coils)—If the job requires the profiled PVC be provided in the form of coils, the coil should be placed
over the open access manhole and the strip pulled down into the pipe through the manhole from the center of the coil. The liner
should be spirally wound with the ribbed profile of the strip as near as practical to the wall of the existing structure, or as specified
by the owner. If necessary, the strip may be shimmed off the wall to avoid discontinuities of the wall surface or to maintain the
specified annulus. Such shims should be of a configuration that they will not significantly impede the flow of grout into the annulus.
The adjacent profile strip edges should be locked together using the manufacturer-supplied joiner strip by means approved by the
material supplier. Additional coils of PVC s
