Sealback II

The scope of this project is to incrementally innovate the existing Sealback I system, through development and field trial of the Sealback II technique. In addition this will include production of relevant training material, and development of a strategy for efficient utilisation and deployment. Sealback II will have better support from CCTV systems that are now widely used. This solution needs to be for Low Pressure mains use only with minimum insertion distance of at least 20m of replacement pipe with a stretch target of 30m, up to 8” metallic ‘child’ main leading on to any size parent main.

Benefits

Successful development of the Sealback II technique, proven to accommodate tapered pipe sections, change in pipe diameters, etc, for mains up to 8” diameter and up to 30m in length.

This project is designed to confirm the Sealback II technique. Development of a deployment strategy and training material will enable the technique to be successfully disseminated for use in the UK gas industry.
