Abstract: A cut-off material is provided, which includes an impermeable cutoff member (10, 70) provided with an expandable hose portion (18, 72) and a flange portion (20, 74) formed integrally with one end of the hose portion. The cutoff member is disposed in first and second pipelines, so that the flange portion is positioned within the first pipeline (12) and that the hose portion is positioned within the second pipeline (14). The cut-off member is maintained, for example, by a base (24,54,82) that is wound to be radially expandable, so that the flange portion is brought into liquid tight contact with the inner surface of the first pipeline and the hose portion extends within the second pipeline.

Abstract: A liner for pipeline repair is provided that includes an elastically deformable sleeve having impermeability, a base having a sheet-like base portion disposed inside the sleeve, wound into a cylindrical form, and expandable radially and fixing means disposed in the base for maintaining the base portion in a subtantially cylindrical form when the base portion is expanded radially within the sleeve. The liner is used for preventing the outflow of water from a pipeline such as a sewer pipe and/or the inflow of water into the pipeline.
