A rehabilitating pipe is laid inside an existing pipe to rehabilitate the
existing pipe. Support members are intergrally connected to an inner wall
surface of the existing pipe so that loop portions of the respective
support members extend from the inner wall surface of the existing pipe.
The rehabilitating pipe is assembled inside of the existing pipe by
mutually coupling segments of the rehabilitating pipe in a longitudinal
direction of the existing pipe by inserting coupling members through
connecting through-holes of the segments and through the loop portions of
the respective support members to thereby support the assembled
rehabilitating pipe so that the rehabilitating pipe remains inside of the
existing pipe after assembly to rehabilitate the existing pipe.
