Abstract: A lining element for repairing a connection area between a main pipe and a branch pipe, comprising a layer of resin-absorbing material, wherein at least three flexible, expandable lining parts are connected to each other by at least three connections to form the lining element. Each lining part comprises a main pipe section and a branch pipe section, and side edges. The lining element is characterized in that the lining parts are connected to each other by connecting both side edges of the adjacent branch pipe sections and side edges of adjacent main pipe sections in a continuous fashion.

Abstract: A device and method for rehabilitating pipe connections is disclosed that simplifies the reliable transportation and positioning of a pipe lining relative to a junction region of a building service line to be lined. The device and method provides for rehabilitating the junction of a building connection from a main pipeline into the building service line. With a positioning device, a curable pipe lining may be positioned at the junction of the building service line and the main line and, with a transport device, the positioning device and the pipe lining may be transported to the junction. A detecting device may detect an extended position of the positioning device. The detecting device may include a winding box with a switch that is actuated when a cord has been pulled out of the winding box and which triggers a signaling device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lining element (10) for the repair of a connection area between a main pipe and a branch pipe, comprising a layer of resin-absorbing material. In a first variant, at least three flexible, expandable lining parts (20) are connected to each other by at least three connections (28) to form the lining element. To manufacture such a lining element, the at least three flexible, expandable lining parts are provided and connected to each other by means of at least three connections to form the lining element. Furthermore, the invention relates to another lining element (100), comprising at least one lining part (102) having a layer of resin-absorbing material, which has a tubular preform, and which is deformable by means of heat and/or forming to achieve a tubular final form.

Abstract: A repair liner for repairing a lateral/main pipe junction and method of using the same to identify a lateral sewer pipe are disclosed. The repair liner includes a radio-frequency identification transponder capable of transmitting an identification signal that is unique to the repair liner.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus impregnate a lining module for repairing a pipe. An end area of the lining module provided with a resin-absorbing layer and an air-tight, outer coating, is introduced into an air-tight sleeve, and an auxiliary introduction device is fixed at an introduction area of the lining module. The transitions between the lining module and the sleeve and between the introduction area and the auxiliary introduction device are closed off in an air-tight manner by at least one sealing device. The auxiliary introduction device is closed off with respect to the ambient by a releasable blocking device in an air-tight manner in such a way that the chamber, formed by the sleeve and the auxiliary introduction device and optionally also the lining module, is closed in an air-tight manner and an introduction chamber accessible from the outside is provided for filling with resin.

An alignment body may be arranged so that it may move the transport mechanism and which can be moved into the junction of the building service line. A drive may move the alignment body into the junction of the building service line.

Abstract: The invention pertaining to a device and method for pipe rehabilitation, more specifically to a device and method for rehabilitating the junction of a building connection from a main pipeline into the building service line. With positioning means, a curable pipe lining is positioned at the junction of a building service line from a main line and with transport means the positioning means and the pipe lining are transported to the mentioned junction. The problem of the invention is to provide a device and a method for rehabilitating pipe connections, which simplify the reliable transportation and positioning of the pipe lining relative to the junction region of the building service line to be lined. This problem is solved by an alignment body, which is arranged so that it can move on the transport means and which can be moved into the junction of the building service line, and also by a drive for moving the alignment body into the junction of the building service line.
