At the time of preparation the following were members of the ATV Working Group 1.6.5
"Rehabilitation and Replacement of Drains and Sewers" which produced this Advisory Leaflet:
The Advisory Leaflet presented here has been prepared within the framework of the ATV
committee work, taking into account the ATV Standard A 400 "Principles for the Preparation
of Rules and Standards" in the Rules and Standards Wastewater/Waste, in the January
1994 version. With regard to the application of the Rules and Standards, Para. 1 of Point 5
of A 400 includes the following statement “The Rules and Standards are freely available to
everyone. An obligation to apply them can result for reasons of legal regulations, contracts
or other legal grounds. Whosoever applies them is responsible for the correct application in
specific cases. Through the application of the Rules and Standards no one avoids
responsibility for his own actions. However, for the user, prima facie evidence shows that he
has taken the necessary care.
All rights, in particular those of translation into other languages, are reserved. No part of this
Advisory Leaflet may be reproduced in any form by photocopy, microfilm or any other process or
transferred or translated into a language usable in machines, in particular data processing
machines, without the written approval of the publisher.

1 Preamble
In August 1984, due to the hazard potential for the environment, in particular for the groundwater and the soil
which comes from existing public and non-public sewers and drains, ATV established Working Group 1.6.5.
This was tasked to deal with questions on the maintenance of sewer systems and to prepare the technical
rules for these.
With the repair of damage there is a diversity of experience available for relining procedures. The Working
Group therefore decided, first, to set up a standard procedure description for relining methods.
Appropriate descriptions of other methods are to follow.
2 Area of Application
This Advisory Leaflet applies for all public and non-public sewers, connections and house drains
including the associated structures1).
- collapse
- positional deviation (vertical, horizontal)
- cross-sectional deformation
- obstructions in the cross-section.
Relining is applicable for the normal operational conditions for wastewater sewers (Wastewater in
accordance with ATV Standard A 115, DIN 1986, Pt. 3). Operational conditions which deviate (e.g.
industrial production waters) require a specific selection of material.
Fundamentally, one has to reckon with a limitation of operations during the construction period
(e.g. temporary placing out of service).
The sewer rehabilitated by using relining must, in accordance with the generally recognised rules
of technology, be watertight, stable and resistant to physical, chemical and biological attack by the
wastewater and also capable of resistance against mechanical attack through sewer cleaning.

5 Relining Methods
5.1 Brief Description
Up until now the pipe materials listed in Table 1 have, inter alia, been used for pipe relining. Details
on the characteristics of the pipes should be taken from the applicable standard specifications.
Inter alia, previously PVC-U or PVC-HI, based on DIN 8061 (Basic Standard Specification), have
been employed for wound pipes. With hose relining resins, carrier and reinforced materials as well
as additives in accordance with DIN 18820 have been used.
5.3 Areas of Employment
April 1993 5
ATV-A 143-3 E
The applicability of hose relining is limited in the man-accessible range through the weight of the
hose to be moved and static boundary conditions.
Wound pipe lining is applied primarily in circular form in free-flow sewers of any shape of cross-
section.
As with hose relining, the internal liner lies along the sewer wall, the cross-sectional shape of the
liner corresponds with that of the sewer to be rehabilitated. With appropriate forms of damage
there can be deviation from the original cross-sectional shape which are to be taken into account
specially with static verification. Analogously this applies for pipeline relining insofar as the liner lies
along the sewer wall.
5.4 Implementation
5.4.2 Procedure
With pipe relining the pipes are drawn or inserted into the sewer to be rehabilitated. Connection of
the pipes takes place either within the sewer to be rehabilitated or on the outside. With wound pipe
procedures a spiral pipe is produced on site from a shaft and is inserted into the sewer by rotation.
In both cases the pipe must finally be fixed in its position. With relining procedures with annular
space this must be filled in (see Sect. 6.1).
With hose relining a hose is introduced into the sewer and hardened into an inliner, whereby the
hardening process is observed by measurement (e.g. temperature change) and should be
documented.
Side inlets are connected with all methods using a special process (see Sect. 6.3). Connections to
structures are to be made permanent and leakproof.

April 1993
Before the rehabilitated sewer is taken into service a test for watertightness should be carried out.
This should give assurance that the inliner and all subsequently produced connections are
leakproof. Free-flow pipelines are to be tested with water in accordance with or based on DIN 4033
in combination with ATV Standard A 139; pressure pipelines in accordance with or based on DIN
4279.
As with wound pipe and hose relining the inliner is produced on site further tests are necessary
such as, for example, with wound pipe relining circular rigidity and with hose relining wall
thickness, flexural strength and bending modulus of elasticity. For these suitable samples are to be
taken from the inliner.
6 Notes
6.1.1 Materials
Sands, fluid hydraulically binding materials and foaming masses are, for example, used as filling
materials. The materials used must be environmentally friendly, permanent and stable. With
application the material must not separate and must be capable of providing a space-free filling.
With fluid materials a compression resistance of at least 1 N/mm2 is to be maintained.
6.1.2 Procedure
At the start and end of the section to be filled in the annular space is to be closed off so that the
pressure of filling can be accepted and the filling process can be controlled. In order to avoid
positional changes of the inliner during the filling process it is to be anchored against lifting. The
filling of the annular space usually takes place from the lowest point of the section to be filled in.
Care is to be taken to provide sufficient ventilation.
Filling pressure and rate are to be so adjusted that a complete filling is achieved and the inliner,
including connections and seals, can accept the filling pressure without damage. During the filling
process the inliner should be filled with water.
Precautions against the accidental filling of neighbouring open spaces, such as, for example,
sewers, pipelines, etc. are to be taken.
6.1.3 Verification
Safety against lifting is to be verified. The filling pressure and/or the expansion pressure of foaming
materials is to be taken into account with the static calculation for the verification of buckling safety.

6.1.4 Tests
The actual filling quantity must at least correspond with the calculated quantity. The filling material
must be free of bubbles at the outlet opening, must not separate or mix with the groundwater and
must be capable of being checked, using samples, for the maintenance of the material
characteristic values (e.g. density, degree of shrinkage, stability).
6.2 Statics
For the formulation of the loading of an inliner it is to be decided whether the stability of the sewer
to be rehabilitated still exists. Here one can differentiate only between stable and unstable. Inter
alia it can be assessed by:
- optical inspection,
- material and soil examinations,
- static post-calculation.
Further criteria are given in ATV Advisory Leaflet M 143, Pt. 1, Sect. 7.
6.2.2 Calculations
For all relevant construction and operational conditions at least the following verification is to be
carried out:
Insofar as it is practical, verification is to be carried out based on ATV Standards A 127 and A 161.
The material characteristic values are to be provably verified insofar as they cannot be extracted
from Table 3 of ATV Standard A 127.
The annular space filling may only be applied for the transfer of compression stresses on to the
inliner. It is not taken into account with other verifications.
With the dimensioning of the inliner there are two load cases to be differentiated:
Load case 1
The sewer to be rehabilitated is stable. The inliner is subject only to external and/or internal water
pressure.
Load case 2
The sewer to be rehabilitated is unstable. The inliner is subject to all external and internal loading
cases.
With the determination of loading the following are to be taken into account:
