A method for providing a seal in an annular space between a rehabilitative
pipe liner and a conduit wall is provided. Areas on the surface of a
section of a conduit wall surrounding lateral connections are provided
with an expandable sealing agent, preferably during an investigative
and/or cleaning inspection of the conduit section and preferably without
repeated withdrawal and insertion of equipment between the provision of
the agent at successive lateral connections. The rehabilitative pipe
liner is then installed in the conduit section and a curing agent or
agents such as heat, visible light, ultraviolet light, chemical agents,
sonic energy or other radiant energy means is applied to cure or form the
rehabilitative pipe liner and to cause the expandable sealing agent to
expand and fill at least a portion of the annular space that may exist
between the rehabilitative pipe liner and the conduit wall.
