Sewer Rehabilitation via CIPP Lining Light Rail, Gold Coast

Abstract

ITS PipeTech offers the German made Berolina UV cured Liner System, for the rehabilitation of non-pressure pipelines. The Berolina-Liner System utilises corrosion resistant glass fibre together with UV-light initiated polyester resins to provide optimum reinforcement. The fibre reinforcement in combination with the resin creates a liner with a high performance that is able to withstand aggressive sewer environments. McConnell Dowell, in conjunction with Gold Coast Council, engaged ITS for the relining of existing sewer mains running beneath the rail track for The Gold Coast Rapid Transit project. The Gold Coast Rapid Transit project is a light rail transport system recently delivered by the Queensland State Government, Australian Government and the Gold Coast City Council. Gold Coast Council were concerned for the longevity of the existing sewer assets, faced with additional loadings the rail infrastructure would introduce. The decision was made to line the existing pipes, to increase design life and serviceability
