This disclosure relates generally to corrugated pipe, and more particularly to corrugated pipe with an outer wrap. In one embodiment, a pipe includes an axially extended bore defined by a corrugated outer wall having axially adjacent, outwardly-extending corrugation crests, separated by corrugation valleys. The pipe also includes an outer wrap applied to the outer wall. The outer wrap may include fibers and plastic. The outer wrap may span the corrugation crests producing a smooth outer surface.

PIPE JOINT, PIPE AND METHOD OF JOINING PIPE SECTIONS
20180010721 · 2018-01-11 ·

A pipe joint and elongated cementitious pipe is formed by joining abutting ends of adjacent pipe sections with a fiber reinforced composite material without the need for the pipe sections to have other connection means, such as the standard bell and spigot end connections. Also disclosed is a cementitious pipe including at least two cementitious pipe sections having ends that are joined together with a fiber reinforced polymer composite material. The cementitious pipe sections and resulting cementitious pipe may have a substantially uniform wall thickness and substantially uniform inner and outer diameters near the opposite ends of the pipe sections. Also provided is a method for joining cementitious pipe sections with a fiber reinforced composite material to manufacture an elongated cementitious pipe, such as an elongated concrete pipe.

Pre-stressed concrete pipe

A pre-stressed concrete pipe is made by casting a concrete pipe inside a metal cylinder and then being pre-stressed by injecting solidifying compound under pressure into the boundary between the metal cylinder and concrete pipe, and includes a pair of end rings within the metal cylinder, each having a metal ring with an annular groove and an elastic band having a curved end to provide a rounded corner on the concrete pipe. After the solidifying compound is solidified, the concrete pipe retains the compression increasing its strength to withstand pressure, and moments caused by external loads. The pre-stressed concrete pipe further includes a bell ring mounted at one end and a spigot ring having a gasket ring at the other end. A bell clamp is mounted on the bell ring.

VALVE INSERTION TOOL
20230126924 · 2023-04-27 ·

A method of cutting and removing a section of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe and then installing a replacement valve while the pipeline is fully pressurized uses a replacement valve body with two cylinders that match the openings of the cut pipe. Inside each of the two cylinders is a cut-covering assembly which includes a cylindrical elastomeric seal and a mechanical linkage to move the seal in and out of the cut pipe. The replacement valve body further includes a rotatable valve in a central portion of the valve, and when the cylinder ends of the replacement valve body are positioned adjacent the bores of cut pipe ends, the valve can be rotated to move linkage assemblies that control the elastomeric seals in and out of each of the cut-covering assemblies into the bores of the cut pipe ends, thereby covering gaps created when the pipe was cut and placing the pipe ends in fluid-tight engagement with the replacement valve body.

Trenchless integrative repair method for concrete drainage pipeline with cracking, corrosion and subsidence

A trenchless integrative repair method includes steps of: S1, pre-casting steel rings according to an internal diameter of a defect pipeline, and forming grouting holes in the steel rings; S2, loading the steel rings to a defect position inside the pipeline, and fitting the steel rings to an internal wall of the pipeline to form reinforcing rings; S3, selecting a number of the grouting holes according to subsidence distribution; drilling a hole in the pipeline to reach a subsidence position and inserting a grouting pipe; steadily grouting the subsidence position with a polymer grouting system, and observing a lift condition of the pipeline; removing the grouting pipe after the pipeline is lifted to a predetermined level; and S4, pulling a lining pipe into the pipeline, and fitting the lining pipe to the steel rings and pipeline walls adjacent to the steel rings; curing the lining pipe.

ULTRA-HIGH PERFORMANCE FIBRE-REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPE FOR PRESSURIZED FLUID TRANSPORT
20220333718 · 2022-10-20 ·

The present invention relates to a pipe for transporting gas, notably carbon dioxide, comprising at least one tubular element, tubular element (1) consisting of a juxtaposition of concentric layers comprising, from inside to outside, at least one sealing layer (5), a wall including a prestressed concrete layer (6) and at least one circumferential mechanical reinforcement layer (8). Furthermore, the concrete making up prestressed concrete layer (6) is selected from among the ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concretes (UHPFRC).

PRECAST SEGMENTED ANNULAR STRUCTURE WITH STRUCTURAL JOINT
20170276266 · 2017-09-28 ·

A segment for an annular structure is disclosed. The segment includes an arcuate body extending between a first end and a second end. The segment includes a first plurality of interlocking portions extending from the first end and a second plurality of interlocking portions extending from the second end. Each interlocking portion includes a first leg and a second leg partially embedded in the arcuate body and a connecting portion connecting the first leg and the second leg, the connecting portion external to the arcuate body. The segment also includes a flange proximal to the first end and the second end of the arcuate body. Each flange includes a first spacing portion that extends radially outward from the outside surface and a second extending portion that extends distally from the main body portion.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REHABILITATING A HOST PIPE
20220228357 · 2022-07-21 ·

A system for in situ rehabilitation of a corrugated culvert or other conduit includes a support frame coupled to an inner surface of the culvert. The support frame provides attachment points that are spaced away from the inner surface of the culvert. An assembly of interconnected longitudinal planks is coupled to the support frame and forms a liner within the culvert. Each longitudinal plank has an inwardly facing surface that forms a portion of an inner surface of the liner and an outwardly facing surface opposite the inwardly facing surface. At least one longitudinal protrusion extends away from the outwardly facing surface of each longitudinal plank. A layer of a cured cementitious grout material fills or substantially fills a space between the inner surface of the host pipe and the plurality of interconnected planks, and the at least one longitudinal protrusion of each longitudinal plank is embedded within the cured cementitious grout material.
