<p>A lining method for a host pipe (10) including lubrication of the host pipe (10) prior to insertion of a thermoplastic liner (11) using tight fit techniques. After allowing the inserted liner (11) to relax, the liner (11) is partially pulled from within the host pipe (10) and clamped to allow fitting of a special flange (40) thereto by butt fusion, for example. Thereafter the liner (11) is allowed to revert so as to abut a flange (12) fitted to the host pipe (10). The technique is repeated at the other pipe end.</p> |
