HDPE Storm Sewer Deep Burial Repair
HDPE Storm Sewer Deep Burial Repair
(OP)
Currently have 1750' of 30" HDPE double wall pipe carrying storm water across a new lock project. The pipe is buried at depths ranging from 20-30 feet. We are looking into ways of repairing a rupture and deflection issues of up to 17%. It must be remote access. I have looked into Link-Pipe. Has anyone had success with that type of repair in HDPE pipe? How about the glass fiber cure in place liner. That is what we are thinking about for the long term fix of the entire length. Anyone familiar with that?

It is nevertheless interesting (based on a similar brief web search) that apparently multiple entrepeneurs around the country are now somehow making a living out of such unfortunate happenings with over-deflected pipes (and most of these folks are also now specifically mentioning plastics). These enterprising folks are offering (I suspect for a price that is some below what it costs to dig them up) their various equipment etc. for re-rounding (I would think at least temporarily) same in the ground. What a country!
Other than knowing of this interesting state of affairs/apparent rather widespread conundrum with contemporary pipes/installations, I otherwise have no experience with such services.

The rerounding with a vibrator may work if you can get the material around the pipe to move and force the pipe back to round. I would ask for a lot of references and tapes of the process and results of same before i contracted that.
