Designed as a Thermo- reactive epoxy resin for CIPP liner systems, the product offers: • Low-viscosity, two-component epoxy resin • Warm-hardening epoxy resin • Light-blue pigmentation • Long application time • High strength • Short curing times depending on curing temperature • Good adhesion on concrete, brick and ceramic • Can be applied to dry and moist mineral or metallic substrates The blue pigmented resin enables control of the impregnation process whilst the liner / resin combination is flexible enough to negotiate bends in the syphon. The thermosetting resin has a high chemical and thermal resistance and is easy to use. There is also no annulus gap between the host pipe and liner as the installed lining material sits flush to the old pipe wall. More importantly for the project in hand, the resin is certified to be environmentally compatible with groundwater so would cause no pollution potential for the ground water being moved through the syphon into the local river system. Remote location Subsequent to the installation the IDB replaced the pumps in the station and completed a full pressure test the results of which showed that the leak in the syphon had been sealed and that it was working to the specification required once more. Steve Paige, director with ADC East Anglia, says: "The project from the beginning had many issues. A remote location and access for plant to maintaining the flows during the works were all potential problems. However, combining the expertise of all parties involved, the job was accurately accessed, planned and completed on time." Commenting on the project for Dyno Rod, Norwich Mark Prendergast adds: "This was an interesting and somewhat unusual installation that demonstrated to the client how effective no-dig solutions can be. It was also very rewarding working closely with ADC and CJ Kelly Associates to achieve an excellent result." John Kelly, of CJ Kelly Associates, says: "This project took several weeks to co-ordinate as we had to install the liner miles from anywhere in the fens just outside Kings Lynn. The liner was up and over the flood bank with a 90o bend on the apex of the bank and allowing for the time of year, over pumping and flood control was a major part of this lining project as was the flexible 450mm diameter liner which was specially manufactured." He says Dyno Norwich as well as ADC Kings Lynn performed 'above and beyond' on this difficult project. "In my opinion, this was the most interesting project in East Anglia for several years and despite its challenges it was brought in on time and on budget. As with any project you need the right product and the right contractor if you want to end up with a good lining project and a satisfied client."
