Abstract
The Smart Linings for Pipe and Infrastructure Project researched the effectiveness of pipeline liners focusing on four product categories: cured-in-place pipe liners and polymeric spray liners for water mains, and calcium aluminate cement mortars and alkalai activated binders (including geopolymer cement mortars) for wastewater assets. The project installed products in field trials at utilities and undertook materials testing at universities. Sensors to measure key attributes required for quality control were designed, prototyped and field tested. The project has delivered a foundation to ready the water industry for the uptake of these products by providing Codes of Practice to detail product installation requirements, Product Standards to provide clear guidance on material requirements to utilities and product manufacturers, and tools to allow efficient decision making when incorporating liners into rehabilitation programs.
