Storm Drain Lining
Storm Drain Lining
(OP)
Although lining is generally used for sanitary lines we are considering lining a storm drain to prevent leaking. An adjacent utility is concerned that storm water is infiltrating their system. I would assume that the process is the same as for lining a sanitary line.
We may have heat issues here because of the proximity to a steam line. Does anyone know if the cured liners are thermo-setting ,i.e., once they are cured they won't "melt" back to a plastic state?

RE: Storm Drain Lining
Polyethylene is typically thermoplastic.
Polyurethane can be either thermoplastic or thermosetting.
Suggest that you contact the manufacturers to determine the temperature limits for their product - the thermal properties of the liner may not be the only consideration (another factor could be the bond between the storm drain and the liner).

I am going to have the steam company remove the discharge and then line.
Dicksewerrat,
If you are in the lining business...can you line a pipe for structural support. If you have apipe that is cracked and failing can you line it and count on any structural support:

I believe that ASTM F1216 has been updated to allow "inversion" and "pulled in place" methods to install liner.
