A process and system for applying a liner to an inner surface of a pipeline uses an inversion technique to apply the liner. This involves arranging the liner into everted and non-everted portions and driving the non-everted portion through the pipeline such that it everts and is applied to the inner surface of the pipeline. At least first and second pipeline vehicles are used to drive the non-everted portion of the liner through the pipeline.

The invention relates to an apparatus (10) for inserting a pipeline lining (80) into a pipe (100) and for final positioning of the pipeline lining (80) inserted in a pipe (100). According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a housing (20), especially a drum-shaped housing, wherein a winding apparatus (25) is formed in the housing (20) and an attachment element (35), especially an attachment ring, is formed on a first housing opening (21), wherein either a cover plate (45) or an inverter add-on (40) is fastened to an at least second housing opening (22), wherein, in a first state for inserting the pipeline lining (80), the inverter add-on (40) and, in a second state for final positioning of the pipeline lining (80), the cover plate (45) is fastened to the second housing opening (22).

Methods, apparatus or equipment and systems for lining conduits, e.g., preferably subterranean pipelines and passageways, such as sewers, with a liner impregnated with a curable resin in order to secure the conduit against ingress or egress of liquids.

The present invention is an improved method and assembly for repairing a pipe or the junction of two pipes, such as sewer pipes. The assembly includes a launcher device having a launcher device body, a launcher device opening disposed on the launcher device body, and a main bladder substantially surrounding the launcher device body. The main bladder includes an opening that substantially aligns with the launcher device opening. The assembly further includes an absorbent liner and a lateral bladder having a tubular lateral bladder body portion and a flange portion. The flange portion of the lateral bladder is attached to the exterior of the launcher device body. A method of using the assembly includes impregnating the liner with resinous material; inserting at least a portion of the liner into the lateral bladder; inflating the bladders; pressing the liner against the pipe; and allowing the resinous material to cure and harden.

A method and apparatus for repairing a pipe system including a main pipe extending between a first and second manhole and one or more lateral pipes extending from the main pipe is provided. Aspects of the invention include the use of a main liner member having a plurality of lateral liner tubes in fluid connection and extending from the main liner member. The main liner member is used to line a main pipe, while the multiple lateral liner tubes extend into separate lateral pipes extending in various orientations from the main pipe. This method and apparatus provides for a single assembly to be able to line multiple pipes, which reduces time and cost for pipe repair.

A method and system for applying a liner to an underground utility structure is provided. First a layer of epoxy is applied to the interior surface of the host pipe using a machine such as a spincast machine. A dry liner is inverted into the pipe directly behind the coating application at a limited speed and pressure. A drag is set on the inversion equipment relative to the speed of the epoxy spinner unit to control inversion speed. Once the liner is completely inverted the internal pressure of the liner is raised and infused into the uncured epoxy.
