RS BlueLine^®

Overview

RS BlueLine is the tightest-fitting CIPP system available for potable water mains and transmission lines. It is certified to meet NSF/ANSI/CAN 61, the first and only CIPP system to gain FM Approval for compliance with FM Class 1616, and is approved by BNQ for potable water applications. Custom-engineered to fully restore structural integrity, and ensure long-term performance, RS BlueLine is tested and designed in accordance with AWWA, ASTM, and ISO standards for pressure pipe linings. It reduces water loss and improves the operating conditions of deteriorated pressure pipes at a lower cost and with considerably less disruption than traditional dig-and-replace methods.

Features

RS BlueLine fits tightly to its host pipe and, once cured, provides a full structural Class IV renewal meeting NSF/ANSI 61 Standards. Because it is a structural repair, it can survive a sudden failure of the host pipe and can even serve as a replacement of the host pipe.

Application Range

RS BlueLine can be installed in any host pipe material. It seals the internal surfaces of the host pipe, preventing leaks, encrustation, and corrosion. It is typically installed in lengths ranging from 300-500 feet, and easily navigates bends up to 45° and joint deflections up to 10%.

Installation

The host pipe is cleaned to allow for proper installation and optimum hydraulic performance of the lined pipe. Water jetting and mechanical cleaning devices are used for cleaning depending on the host pipe condition. Curing is performed using either controlled steam, normally after installation with pressure drum; or, hot water, normally after installation with hydrostatic water column.

Connections

Connections and joining techniques can be modified to suit the water systems maintenance requirements with industry standard fittings. Service connections are made via open-cut excavation or robotic means.
