The first experiments with CIPP Lining took place around Christmas 1978. With the usual sense of reacting constructively to externally imposed challenges, Aarsleff was inspired by a brochure about a new system, the gist of which was to place new pipes inside the old ones.
Liner with great savings
The present Pipe Technologies was established, and a new method from the UK was to be tested. The gist of the method was to renew the pipes from within with a gigantic “stocking”. The first project consisted of renovation of a 90-metre-long sewer pipe in Holstebro – and it was carried out at a quarter of what it would cost to replace it by means of renovation by conventional excavation and replacement of the pipes.
