1. Introduction
1.1 Spiral wound pipe technologies
Spiral wound pipe technologies are pipes which are formed on site by spirally winding
and jointing a pre-manufactured profiled plastics strip, or a profiled plastics strip and
integral locking joiner strip, and used for the renovation of underground non-pressure
drainage and sewerage networks.
It applies to spirally-wound pipes of fixed or variable diameter installed by one of two
methods.
The first method employs a dedicated winding machine in front of the open end of an
existing pipeline (e. g. in a manhole). The pipes thus formed are simultaneously inserted
into the existing pipeline by the winding forces, and by certain techniques can also be
expanded in diameter after or during insertion.
The second method employs a dedicated winding machine which forms the pipe as it
traverses the existing pipeline from one manhole to the next.
It covers spirally-wound pipes of fixed or variable diameter made of profiled plastics
strips, with or without steel stiffening elements, of unplasticized poly-vinyl-chloride
(PVC-U) with integral locking mechanism or high density polyethylene (HDPE) with
integrally welded joints.

1.2

SPR TM PE
The SPRTM PE system is an exceptional trench less technology for circular sewers, storm
drains and culverts.
SPR PE is a steel reinforced plastic pipe comprising a structured wall profile with a
smooth internal surface. The liner is introduced into the host pipe at a fixed diameter
and the annular gap is subsequently grouted with a low strength cementitious grout.
The SPRTM PE profile is progressively wound into the host pipe by a machine located at
an existing access point. The liner is supplied as a strip of profile that is spirally woundin-place and installed by a mechanical process. The profile is delivered to site on spools
to keep the size of site foot-print minimal. The profile strips are interlocked by extrusion
welding the edges together inside the winding machine. This provides a continuous,
strong, joint-free liner. These processes will be recorded and controlled by a computeraided machine.
Installing the liner by spirally winding and welding the profile together allows
continuous, limitless lengths of liner to be produced.
Cementitious grout is pumped behind the liner to fill voids between the liner and the
deteriorated host pipe.

1.3.2 Mortar details

The mortar is in regard to static design only required to connect the host pipe with
the liner.

2. Static design
2.1 ASTM F 1741
Significance and Use
This practice is for use by designers and specifiers, regulatory agencies, owners, and
inspection organizations who are involved in the rehabilitation of non-pressure sewers
and conduits. Modifications may be required for specific job conditions.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice describes the procedures for the rehabilitation of sewer lines and
conduits for existing pipelines 6 to 180in. in diameter by the insertion of a machinemade field-fabricated spiral wound liner pipe into the existing pipeline using a winding
machine which remains stationary in the insertion pit or, alternatively, which travels
along the interior of the existing pipeline. These rehabilitation processes can be used in
a variety of gravity applications such as sanitary sewers, storm sewers, culverts, and
process piping.
1.1.1 When using stationary installation equipment for existing pipelines 6 to 48 in.,
after insertion, the spiral wound liner pipe is expanded until it presses against the
interior surface of the existing pipeline. Alternatively, for existing pipelines 6 to 108 in.
in diameter, the spiral wound liner pipe is inserted as a fixed diameter into the existing
pipeline and is not expanded, and the annular space between the spiral wound liner
pipe and the existing pipe is grouted.

1.1.2 When using the traveling installation equipment for existing pipelines 6 to 180 in.
the spiral wound liner pipe is installed in contact with the interior surface of the existing
pipeline to form a close fit liner, except in the corners of rectangular pipes or where
obstructions or offsets occur. Alternatively, for existing pipelines 6 to 180 in. in diameter
and for similar sized existing non circular pipelines such as arched or oval or rectangular
shapes, the spiral wound liner is installed as a fixed diameter into the existing pipeline
to form a non-close fit liner and the annular space between the spiral wound liner pipe
and the existing pipe is grouted.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values
given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for
information only and are not considered standard.
2. Definition conditions
Partially Deteriorated Pipe
The existing pipe can support the soil and surcharge and live loads throughout the
design life of the rehabilitated pipe, and the soil adjacent to the existing pipe must
provide adequate side support. The conduit may have longitudinal cracks and some
distortion of the diameter.
Fully Deteriorated Pipe
The existing pipe is not structurally sound and cannot support soil, surcharge and live
loads or is expected to reach this condition over the design life of the spiral wound
liner pipe. This condition is evident when sections of the existing pipe are missing, the
existing pipe has lost its original shape, or the existing pipe has corroded due to the
effects of the fluid, atmosphere, or soil.
