The present invention is an improved method for installing a liner to
repair a pipeline. The method involves placing a flexible lining hose
that is coated with a thermosetting resin into the pipeline. A quick
setting resin is also applied to the interior walls of the pipeline
wherein the resin has a high contrast pigment agent therein in order to
facilitate identification of and reopening of the various service
laterals. A calibration hose is introduced into the lining hose and
pressurized fluid is injected therein. The fluid presses the lining hose
against the interior surface of the pipeline and cures the first and
second thermosetting resins. The curing of the resins bonds the lining
hose to the pipeline to form a rigid monolithic composite structure
having high mechanical strength.
