Abstract
Water supply pipes are a fundamental element of urban infrastructure, serving as a critical component of the underground lifeline system in a city. However, these pipes have faced several issues such as corrosion, aging, cracking, and leaks due to early deterioration, non-standardized construction practices, overloading, multiple load impacts, and environmental changes during service. This review highlights recent progress in trenchless rehabilitation technologies for water supply pipes, focusing on trenchless rehabilitation techniques and materials. The advantages, limitations, and application for each technology were systematically compared to highlight the superior benefits of UV-CIPP. In addition, 21 domestic and international technical standards related to trenchless rehabilitation for water supply pipes were collected to illustrate the current standard construction status. Moreover, a new clean lining material suitable for ultraviolet cure-in-place pipe (UV-CIPP) rehabilitation of water supply pipes was introduced. The issue of styrene emissions during the curing process, a significant environmental limitation of UV-CIPP technology, was effectively controlled by this development, thereby preventing potential risks to water quality. Finally, the problems and prospects of UV-CIPP rehabilitation for water supply pipes were addressed.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
