Abstract: A system and method for reducing the amount of infiltrate entering a sewer system is provided. The system generally comprises a locking sleeve, hydrophilic gasket, and a locking mechanism, wherein a lateral porthole of said locking sleeve is surrounded by said hydrophilic gasket. The system is preferably installed at a lateral line connection point, wherein a hydrophilic gasket located around the lateral porthole creates the water barrier that prevents infiltrate from entering a newly refurbished host pipe through the hole cut to reestablish flow from the lateral line to the host pipe at the lateral line connection point.

Abstract: A sealing system for sealing a joint of a structure, including a first section having an inner wall, an outer wall and a contact surface extending therebetween, a second section having an inner surface, an outer surface and a contact extending therebetween, the contact surfaces of the first and second sections being in contact with each other, thereby forming a joint. A void is defined by a portion of the contact surface of the first section and a portion of the contact surface of the second section, a port extends from one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the first section to the annular void, and liquid grout disposed in the void and the port.
