A segment is coupled to additional segments to constitute a rehabilitating pipe
for repairing an existing pipe. The segment comprises an inner plate that defines
the inner circumferential surface of the rehabilitating pipe and has an opening
therein for performing the work of mutually coupling the segments in the circumferential
direction of the rehabilitating pipe, and a cover that is fitted into the opening
from the bottom surface side of the inner plate. To fix the cover to the inner
plate, the cover is provided with a projection and with an engaging member that
is movable between non-engaging and engaging positions. The cover is fitted into
the opening with the projection into engagement with the inner plate on one side
edge of the opening and the engaging member is then brought into engagement with
the inner plate on the other side edge thereof, thereby fixing the cover to the
inner plate to plug the opening thereof.
