IBB16^®

The leading method for trenchless pressure pipe rehabilitation

Less environmental pollution

Less process costs

for disposal of soil, old pipe and transport

Faster implementation

Less traffic obstruction

due to smaller excavation pit

Environmental Aspects

Potable water pipe DN 800, 150 m length

Soil volume to replace

IBB16 72m³ /Dig and replace 2.700m³

Old pipe disposal

IBB16 0,29m³ /Dig and replace 7,35m³

Truck loads

About IBB16^®

The IBB16® system is a hybrid hose pipe relining (without bonding with the old pipe) applicable for the rehabilitation of pressure pipes.

The system combines two pipe liners with different properties to achieve the required criteria for the rehabilitation of a pressurized water pipe.

The system combines the IBG UV + Steam systems to the system IBB16®.

Where to use IBB16^®

The system can be used in pressure pipes up to an operating pressure of 232 psi (16 bar).

The minimum pipe diameter is: DN 150

The maximum pipe diameter is: DN 1600

System description IBB16^®

The impregnation of the liner is performed at the liner factory. The installation of the liner takes place in one or more rehabilitation conduits defined by two or more pits or line openings.

The liner is pulled into the line using a pulley, typically with winch support and sliding protective foil, pulled onto packers and expanded using air pressure.

Curing is performed by exposure from a UV light source. The entire curing process is controlled and documented using installed sensors.

The finished product is a statically fully structural, seamless, flexible plastic pipe.
