<br /> I <br /> Buchen uses an emerging technology which other cities use to line entire segments of their sewer _I <br /> I <br /> system. In this method a seamless tube of polyester yams is impregnated with resin which <br /> hardens in about two hours. The sewer line is temporarily blocked off and cleaned, then the tube I <br /> is guided into place enclosed in a protective poly sack. When positioned properly the resin <br /> impregnated tube is forced out'of the protective sack and held in place with air pressure until <br /> cured. This leaves a fiberglass type lining approximately 311 6" thick in the existing pipe. This I <br /> method should result in a repair that will last the duration of the sewers remaining effective life. <br /> Recommendation I <br /> The Public Works Department recommends the repair work be done by Buchen Environmental <br /> Services. Although this technology is relatively new to this area for repairing short segments it <br /> has been used extensively for lining complete areas in some towns. This process is more I <br /> expensive, however the Public Works staff is reluctant to use metal in a corrosive environment. <br /> The difference in the thickness of each product and the potential slippage of the link pipe are also <br /> concerns.
