  • Trelleborg DrainLCR-B

    New Method for the Lateral Connection Repair of Underground House Sewers and Downpipes in Buildings

    Main Pipe DN 100 – DN 200
    Lateral DN 50 – DN 200 (at 30° – 90°)

    Trenchless repairs of lateral connections are rather tricky jobs to do. Many commonly available packer systems cannot cope with pipes having diameters of rarely more than DN 100 – and sometimes even additional pipe bends. Until the recent past, no repair system in the DN 100 to DN 150 range had been available for sealing junctions of down pipes, house sewers and lateral pipes, i.e. pipe sizes of DN 50 to DN 150.

    With LCR-B (“B” stands for building), Trelleborg managed for the first time ever to scale down to lateral and house sewer sizes the LCR-S method (“S” stands for sewer) known from main line rehabilitation, in which a packer is used to invert a fibreglass “hat” profile into the main/lateral interface. As an alternative to the specifically developed hat profile, it is also possible to use a liner of the appropriate size.

    The LCR-B hat profile in the main pipe seals the interface between the two pipe systems with its rim only, whereas the LCR-B liner is designed as a short liner in the down pipe or house sewer. The standard lateral repair length is 300 mm – the new LCR-B packer model allows a maximum repair length of 1300 mm.

    The LCR-B liner and hat material is suitable for steam curing and has high mechanical properties and very good sealing capabilities. In order to reduce the curing time, Trelleborg Pipe Seals is offering a steam generator (SteamGen V3).

    Behaviour in bends
    Depending on the actual host pipe run or on wrinkles formed in the installed liner:
    45° for DN 100 main line
    90° for DN 125 or larger main line
    Wall thickness of 2 to 3 mm

    Benefits

    • Meets practical needs: Successful repairs with little equipment needs only, even in the presence of bends.
    • Price advantage: Low investment cost, because you need to buy just the packers actually required.
    • Practical: The low-weight mobile unit with low space requirements can be placed even in a small car.
    • Flexibility: The job can be done with air push rods; no carriage needed.
    • Accessibility: The LCR-B packers can be folded as required.
    • No risk of fire: The resin system used for the liner system is self-extinguishing.

                            Resin systems for full rehabilitation and sectional renovation of pipes and sewers.

                            Trelleborg Pipe Seals manufactures high-quality resin systems for the rehabilitation of sewers and wastewater pipes.

                            Three basic resin types are available:

                            • EpoxyResins for CIPP lining applications; and
                            • SilicateResins for lateral connection repairs and patches.  Available in fast WOI, Winter and Summer.

                             

                            Trelleborg ResinSystems have gained worldwide acceptance and are very popular among installers due to their patented technology and their permanently high quality.

                            Our broad range of resins and hardeners offers you the optimal solution for any case of repair (e.g. extreme infiltration).

                            Trelleborg Resin Systems

                            Two-component resin mixture made of component A (synthetic resin) and B (hardener)

                            Trelleborg EPROPOX resins are used in the Trelleborg DrainLiner methods (CIPP liners) as well as in the Trelleborg DrainLCR methods.

                            To be able to meet the varied needs of our installers, we developed a multitude of epoxy resin systems geared to specific applications.

                            These systems stand out for their improved mechanical properties, e.g. flexural modulus, flexural stress, TG and reduction factor, which are considerably higher than those found in conventional resin systems.

                            Thanks to their viscosity and surface tension, all EpoxyResin systems are extremely easy to handle, penetrate carrier materials quickly and provide very good mechanical properties and chemical strengths after final cure. Both filled and unfilled resin systems are available, depending on the particular application.

                            Silicate Resin Systems

                            These resin systems are used especially for lateral connection and short repairs (DrainLCR and DrainPacker).

                            They are easy to handle and quick to install and stand out for their good mechanical properties and chemical resistance after final cure.

                            The patented two-component resin mixture is made up of the components B (resin) and A (hardener) at a mixing ratio of 2:1 (by volume).

                            Benefits:

                            • Cures at ambient temperature within about 1 to 3 hours (cure times can be controlled and adjusted)
                            • Excellent performance both at extremely high and at extremely low temperatures
                            • Very good resistance to acids and caustics (pH 1 – 13.5) after final cure
                            • High temperature resistance of short/CIPP liner after final cure
                            • No volatile organic compounds (styrene free)
                            • Excellent adhesion to many pipe materials like vitrified clay, plastic, steel etc. with a close frictional and positive fit to HDPE pipes
                            • Virtually no shrinkage (<0.6%)
                            • Can be used at a wide range of ambient temperatures
                            • Excellent performance both at extremely high and at extremely low temperatures
                            • Expected service life of more than 50 years as proven by 10,000-hour test
                            • The cured resin is self-extinguishing and can thus be used in critical areas such as airports and tunnels
                            • Tested by independent bodies (IKT – Gelsenkirchen, WRc UK)
                            • In compliance with international standards such as DIBt, ASTM, WIS and DIN EN

                                  • Trelleborg Drain Liner End Seal

                                    Prevents infiltration between Liner and Host Pipe.

                                    The Drain Liner End Seal utilizes the patented Slotted Band® to provide maximum sealing force with a minimum reduction in pipe diameter. This unique design captures the rubber and compresses it against the host pipe and new CIPP liner creating a permanent mechanical seal.

                                    The patented Slotted Band is constructed from a single piece of Stainless Steel (EN 1.4307) precisely rolled to match the diameter of the CIPP liner. The unique shape of the Slotted Band provides the maximum amount of strength and sealing force with the least possible thickness.

                                    The band is then expanded using a hydraulic expansion tool. As the band expands the integral latching mechanism progresses from slot to slot, positively locking on each one until the next one is reached. There is an audible click created by the spring/rubber interaction as the band is expanded into place.

                                      • Trelleborg Drain Internal Joint Seal

                                        Designed to restore joint integrity.

                                        Pipe and manhole joints generally experience higher ground water pressure than the grade adjustment area of a manhole. When infiltration occurs due to deflection, offset or corrosion, the Internal Joint Seal is specifically designed to reestablish watertight conditions.

                                        A = The portion of the seal which covers the pipe or manhole defect
                                        B = The complete width of the seal once installed (includes the band compression area)

                                        Benefits:

                                        • Can be used in concrete, HDPE and most other types of pipe
                                        • Installs easily with torque wrench and socket
                                        • Extension seals available to expand coverage area
                                        • WedgeLock expansion bands create a watertight seal capable of withstanding 10 m of external head pressure

                                          • Trelleborg Drain Flexrib Manhole Seal

                                            Eliminates Inflow and Infiltration.

                                            The grade adjustment area of the manhole is the first to suffer deterioration caused by freeze/thaw cycles, traffic loading, thermal expansion and contraction of the surrounding pavement and other external forces.

                                            The solution for this problem is the DRAIN Flexrib Manhole Seal.

                                            Benefits:

                                            • Creates a watertight seal between the frame casting and top of the manhole cone
                                            • Allows the Seal to move vertically and/or laterally while maintaining a watertight seal
                                            • Made from a premium quality rubber compound and available in four widths.
                                            • Patented Waveband technology creates a more effective seal by concentrating the compressive force of the expansion band. The rubber is “captured” between the band and the concrete.
