EN 14409-3:2004 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 14409-3:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155, "Plastics piping systems and ducting systems", the secretariat of which is held by NEN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2005. System standards dealing with the following applications are either available or in preparation: — Plastics piping systems for renovation of underground non-pressure drainage and sewerage networks;
— Plastics piping systems for renovation of underground water supply networks [this application]; — Plastics piping systems for renovation of underground gas supply networks; — Plastics Piping Systems for Renovation of underground pressure drainage and sewerage networks; — Plastics piping systems for renovation of industrial pipe systems. These system standards are distinguished from system standards for conventionally installed plastics piping systems by the requirement to verify certain characteristics in the as-installed condition, after site processing. This is in addition to verification of characteristics of plastics piping systems as manufactured. These system standards are complemented by the information contained in ISO/TR 11295 [6] and EN 13689 [1] (listed in the bibliography). The system standard EN 14409 comprises five parts, as follows:
— Part 1: General — Part 2: Lining with continuous pipes — Part 3: Lining with close-fit pipes (this document) — Part 4: Lining with cured-in-place pipes — Part 6: Lining with inserted hoses The requirements for any given renovation technique family are covered by Part 1: General, and are for use in conjunction with the relevant other part. For example, for the requirements relating to "Lining with close-fit pipes", it is necessary to refer to both parts 1 and 3. A consistent structure of clause headings has been adopted for all parts to facilitate direct comparisons across renovation technique families. Figure 1 shows the common part and clause structure and the relationship between EN 14409 and the system standards for other applications. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Interactive pressure pipe liners can rely on the use of technique-dependent, mechanical fittings for end connections and service connections. The mechanical fittings provide the connection between the liner, which is generally thin walled, and the rest of the pipeline system, by clamping the liner wall inside/outside. By means of a movable compression part, the fitting provides pressure integrity, leaktightness and resistance to end loads. The fitting generally includes a support sleeve either inserted into or assembled around the liner and can include also a grip ring. The mechanical fitting can be supplied for field assembly. 6 Valves Valves shall conform to the requirements of EN 12201-4. SIST EN 14409-3:2005

7.6 Physical characteristics There are no requirements for physical characteristics of the installed pipe. 7.7 Additional characteristics No additional characteristics apply. 7.8 Sampling The sampling of the installed pipe shall conform to 7.8 of EN 14409-1:2004. NOTE For process verification testing, samples can conveniently be taken either from the exposed end of an installed liner where this emerges from the host pipe, or from a section of the liner installed in a length of simulated host pipe; see 8.4.3 of EN 14409-1:2004.

EN 14409-3:2004 (E) 14 8 Installation practice 8.1 Preparatory work Preparatory work shall conform to 8.1 of EN 14409-1:2004. 8.2 Storage, handling and transport Precautions shall be taken to ensure that no excessive damage is caused to the lining pipe during unloading, site handling and storage. In this context excessive damage shall mean any scratch which is more than 10 % of the wall thickness in depth, or the imposition of any severe bending operation which results in a permanent kink, crease or fold. NOTE 1 The lining pipe should be stored on reasonably level ground, free of large sharp stones, debris or litter, to avoid potentially damaging
point-loading. In general and in the absence of any specific handling requirements, these precautions shall include the use of webbing slings in place of wire rope or chains, and the use of spreader beams for pipe lengths in excess of 12 m. Where the system designer specifies handling requirements, these shall prevail. The lining pipe shall be transported on a flat bed vehicle free from nails or other projections or on a purpose-built trailer designed to carry the lining pipe as a free standing coil or wound on to a drum. Before being loaded onto a trailer, the lining pipe shall be visually checked for any damage. Pipe ends shall be securely sealed to prevent contamination of the pipe by moisture, and/or dirt under storage, handling and transport. NOTE 2 For pipes of 600 mm diameter or larger a suitable plug which also prevents ovalisation or other deformation is recommended. Pipes which do not meet the above stated specifications shall be rejected, clearly marked and removed to a separate stock. 8.3 Equipment 8.3.1 Butt-fusion and debeading equipment Butt fusion equipment shall conform to ISO 12176-1 and shall be capable of producing joints under site conditions, and in addition to the heater plate shall include such clamping, re-rounding and trimming facilities as will ensure alignment and matching of the pipe ends, and an external debeader able to remove the bead cleanly in one continuous strip without damage to the pipe, in accordance with the instruction manual.
NOTE A shelter should be provided to avoid weld contamination from water and dust, and to generally maintain a clean and warm working environment. The lining pipe string should be plugged to prevent cold air blowing through which could otherwise adversely affect the weld. 8.3.2 Reduction equipment Depending on the lining technique, a reduction of the lining pipe may take place at the site. The reduction equipment shall be operated in accordance with the technique’s specification. Reduction or deformation equipment for use on site shall be free from sharp edges that could damage the pipe during deformation.
Any lubricant used in the reduction process shall have no adverse effects on the lining material and be approved for contact with potable water. 8.3.3 Pipe skids/rollers Depending on the technique, pipe skids or rollers shall be used. These shall minimise frictional loads and prevent damage to the pipe as it is moved during the butt-fusion and installation processes. SIST EN 14409-3:2005
EN 14409-3:2004 (E) 15 8.3.4 Winching equipment The winch equipment shall have a means of recording, graphically or numerically, the load applied to the winch cable during installation. NOTE 1 All winching operations are potentially dangerous and any exposed winch cable should be guarded. It is necessary in respect of winching equipment and operations to take account of all applicable national health and safety regulations. NOTE 2 Winching equipment normally consists of a powered winch connected to the lining pipe by a winch cable and appropriate nose cone connection. The force in the winch cable should be measured directly, and not inferred from the hydraulic pressure on the drive motors or by other such indirect means. 8.3.5 Pipe entry guides Guides should be used at the ends of the host pipe to prevent damage to the lining pipe during insertion. 8.3.6 Reforming equipment Any equipment used to carry out the reforming or rerounding process shall be capable of providing the required conditions of pressure and temperature and shall be in accordance with the technique’s specification. 8.3.7 Electrofusion equipment Electrofusion equipment shall conform to ISO 12176-2. The power supplier/controller and associated alignment and fixing clamps shall be such as to ensure fusion when following the manufacturer's guidelines for surface preparation and fusion. 8.4 Installation
Installation shall follow the procedures detailed in the installation manual. The installation manual shall specify all necessary parameters and details of the method of reforming the lining pipe to achieve a close fit. Where applicable, the description of the reforming method and the installation parameters shall specify, according to the requirements of the technique concerned: a)
maximum and/or minimum values of any internal pressure to be applied; b)
