Rationale
This standard is most important for the future of CIPP, as it provides an engineered approach for work to be performed in a specific, sequenced order, which improves safety and product quality. The work is specific to sewer system rehabilitation administered by a public utility. The work consists of rehabilitating the main sewer, the manholes, installing cleanouts, and lining lateral pipes within the public right-of-way. This standard establishes a proper order of operations necessary to protect the public from unwanted emissions, enhance quality, prevent costly and disruptive mistakes, and prevent an SSO in homes and other buildings connected to the sewer system.
The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
