Trenchless pipelines’ renovation methods – a classification and the conditions determining the choice of a method

The basic classification of the pipelines’ renovation (technical rehabilitation) distinguishes the terms of the pipes’ repair, renovation and replacement. During the presentation, classification of the pipelines’ renovation methods related to those basic terms  and the nomenclature used both in theory and in practice will be discussed. Representative technologies that belong to the particular groups of the recognised classification will be also presented. Included will be the conditions determining the choice of renovation method for the pipelines suffering from a different degree of damage.
