Standard Specification for Segmental Panel System for the Grout-in-Place-Liner (GIPL) Rehabilitation Method of Existing Man-Entry Size Sewers, Culverts, and Conduits

1.1 This specification covers the requirements and test methods for the materials, dimensions, workmanship, and finished quality of injection molded poly vinyl chloride (PVC) profile sections used for the field fabrication of a PVC liner inside existing man-entry size circular and non-circular sewers; circular, non-circular, and box culverts, conduits, and vertical shafts or manholes having dimensions of 39.4 in. and larger (1000 mm and larger).

1.2 The segmental panel system produced under this specification is for non-pressure applications where the PVC liner is installed in the existing structure and the annular space between the liner and the existing structure is grouted with a low viscosity, high strength cementitious grout.

1.3 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
