Devices and methods for streamlining the completion of work functions
within a lateral pipe connected to a main pipe. A variety of different
lateral devices may be used to aid in the process of relining the main or
lateral pipe. A lateral location device is inserted into the lateral pipe
prior to relining of the main pipe and is subsequently used to aid in the
conventional cutting of the main-lateral interface. A lateral cutting
device actually performs the main-lateral cutting process from within the
lateral or from within the main. A lateral inspection device crawls up
the lateral for inspection via camera. A lateral relining device aids in
the placement of a liner used to reline the lateral pipe. Each of these
interchangeable work functions may be optional performed by one or more
lateral devices, often carried and inserted by a delivery device.
