When it comes to rehabilitating pipelines, a critical step is the identification, investigation, and resolution of underlying problems. Only after a thorough understanding of these issues can informed decisions be made regarding the appropriate techniques to use. In the realm of trenchless technologies, it’s essential to distinguish between lining and online replacement techniques, as each serves a distinct purpose. The upcoming Southern African Society for Trenchless Technology SASTT Webinar 3, scheduled for 17th October 2023 from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, will focus on lining techniques.

Lining techniques primarily address the requirements of strength, water tightness, and durability, although they may not always meet the capacity demands. This topic will be the central focus of Webinar 3. Online replacement techniques, on the other hand, are designed to address all four requirements and will be covered in Webinar 4, set to take place later this year.
