In the US, approximately 30% of wastewater pipe rehabilitation is currently
achieved by trenchless methods and in the United Kingdom some water utilities use
these techniques to achieve 60% or more of their water main rehabilitation
targets. Yet despite the obvious benefits of decreased disruption and lower
costs, the rate of adoption of trenchless technologies in the US has been slow.
This paper provides a detailed review of trenchless technologies and their use in
the United States and the United Kingdom. Design, specification and lining
selection issues are addressed including design for internal pressure and
external loads. Lessons learned from the British experience in water mains
renovation are summarized. Includes 16 references, tables, figures.
