602-3.01Existing Pipe Preparation. Dewater, clean and inspect the existing pipe. Determine the

location of and remove obstructions that may prevent proper installation of the paving or lining material. Inspect small inaccessible pipes, generally less than 48 inches in diameter, using a closed circuit television and camera to provide a visual inspection. Provide strutting and bracing as required to ensure stability of the pipe.

602-3.02Handling & Installing Lining Materials

A.General. Install each run of lining pipe with the same material for the entire run unless otherwise

identified in the contract documents or approved by the Engineer. Do not allow water to flow along the invert during concrete or fill material placement.

B.Structural Paving of Inverts with Concrete. Apply §603-3.07 Concrete Paving for Corrugated

Structural Plate Pipe with the exception of the following:

1.Pave the area along the invert’s periphery, providing concrete cover thickness over the crests of

the corrugations and concrete reinforcement details as indicated on the plans. If welding has been used to anchor the reinforcement or studs on a galvanized section of the pipe then upon completion of the anchoring, restore the coating in accordance with §702-02 Corrugated Steel Pipe, E. Coating Repair. Coating restoration is not required where mechanical anchoring of the reinforcement has been utilized.

2.Use Performance Engineered Mixture (PEM) Portland Cement Concrete in accordance with

the appropriate mix design requirements specified in Table 2 of Materials Procedure (MP) 501-2 Mix Design and Approval Procedure for Performance Engineered Mixtures – Structural Concrete for paving of the invert.

C.Lining with Shotcrete. Apply all requirements of Section 583, Shotcrete with the exception of

the following: 602-3.02 Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 2026 VOLUME 3

1.Shotcrete may be used to line concrete pipe, stone arches, and corrugated metal pipes.
2.All reinforcement design and details (e.g. spacing, anchoring, etc.) must be indicated on the

plans. If welding has been used to anchor the reinforcement or studs on a galvanized section of the pipe then upon completion of the anchoring, restore the coating in accordance with §702-02 Corrugated Steel Pipe, E. Coating restoration is not required where mechanical anchoring of the reinforcement has been utilized.

3.Apply a minimum 2 inch thick shotcrete layer over the crests of the corrugations. The

shotcrete layer limits along the periphery will be indicated on the plans.

D.Lining with Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) Liner. The CIPP manufacturer’s / installer’s name

shall appear on the Department’s Approved List of Materials and Equipment, Rehabilitation of Culverts and Storm Drains section. The CIPP contractor shall provide the Engineer a report with design details and calculations for determining the minimum required thickness of the cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) liner, the minimum internal pressure required to hold the wetted liner tight against the host pipe, and the maximum allowable internal pressure so as not to damage the wetted liner. All design calculations shall assume a fully deteriorated host pipe, unless Item 602.37xx, Lining Concrete pipe with Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP), is specified. All liner installations require the excavation of a resin containment pit to facilitate the installer’s collection and subsequent disposal of any waste (styrene or non-styrene) and / or curing water from the jobsite. When the liner curing is completed, the installer will remove all waste prior to the lined pipe being put back in service. The plans will indicate the size of the excavation for the resin containment pit. The excavation, temporary storage of the fill and restoration of the downstream channel will be performed under Section 206-1.02, measured under 206-4.04 and paid under 206.0201 Trench, Culvert and Structure Excavation – O.G. Use a resin / liner system meeting the following criteria: -System consists of one or more layers of flexible needled felt or an equivalent material as approved by the Materials Bureau. -Liner is flexible enough to fit irregular pipe sections and able to negotiate pipe bends. Liner’s surface must be coated with a plastic material compatible with the proposed resin. All liners containing styrene based resins require the use of a pre liner, to be inserted into the existing pipe before insertion of the CIPP liner. In addition to the pre liner, single or double sided liners may be specified in the contract plans, depending on the environmental setting of a particular application. A thermoset resin and catalyst or an epoxy resin and hardener system, compatible with the proposed inversion system shall be used. If indicated in the contract documents, a resin containing less than five percent volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with less than 0.1 percent hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and less than 0.1 percent of water quality pollutants as listed in 6 NYCRR Parts 700-705 shall be supplied. If the resin type (styrene or non-styrene) is not specified on the plans, the installer has the option to select the resin type. Proposed resin shall be compatible with the proposed inversion process. Vacuum impregnate the liner with resin. Use a volume of resin capable of filling all voids in the liner material at nominal thickness and diameter. Adjust this resin volume by adding a minimum of 5% excess resin to allow for changes in resin volume due to polymerization and for any resin migration into the cracks and joints of the original pipe.

1.Installation. A cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) liner may be installed into the host pipe by

hydrostatic head, air pressure inversion, or a combination of the two. Do not exceed the manufacturer recommended maximum pressure to the liner felt fiber during the inversion process. 602-3.02 Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 2026 VOLUME 3 Pulled in place installations may be allowed if it is indicated on the contract documents or if the installer is given prior approval by the Director, Materials Bureau.

a.Hydrostatic Head. The standpipe height must be sufficient to maintain at least the

minimum required pressure between the CIPP liner and the existing (host) pipe. The lower end of the liner must extend beyond the outlet end whenever possible. Where changes in elevation may create excessive stresses on the liner felt, the use of bulkheads may be necessary. Alternative installation methods using a hydrostatic head will be subject to approval by the Director, Materials Bureau.

b.Air Pressure. The liner may be inverted using air pressure to extend it to the termination

point. The air pressure needs to be adjusted and sustained to a level capable of holding the liner against the host pipe regardless of the curing method proposed to be used.

2.Curing. Cure the liner by circulating heated water throughout the section. Uniformly raise

the temperature of the water above the level required to cure the resin. Monitor and record both the temperature of the curing water exiting the heating source and the temperature of the curing water returning to the heating source. Monitor and record the observed temperatures by the remote sensors on the liner-host pipe interfaces, located in the upstream and downstream area of the pipe. The remote temperature sensors readings will be used for monitoring the progress of curing and its duration. The minimum curing time is the sum of the minimum recommended initial and post-curing times as per the liner resin supplier’s recommendations. The onset of the initial curing approximately occurs when all remote temperature sensors register a temperature consistent with the “exotherm”, which shall be included in the Manufacturer’s recommendations. Post-cure the liner at least for the minimum post-curing time and at the minimum post-curing temperature level, as per the liner Manufacturer’s recommendations. Add post-curing time for any deviations from the recommended post-curing temperature levels. All resin Manufacturers’ curing proposals require approval by the Director of Materials Bureau prior to its initial use by the Department. Also, a new curing proposal submission for approval is required if an already approved liner Manufacturer introduces a new resin formulation and/or a new liner curing method to a Department contract. .

3.Water and Material Management. After post-curing is completed, manage the curing water

so that it does not cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards to receiving waters or groundwater 6 NYCRR Part 700-704. In particular, the CIPP Contractor shall note the surface water quality and groundwater standards at 6 NYCRR Part 703 for pollutants such as styrene and thermal discharges. The CIPP Contractor shall enquire as to the classification of potential receiving surface waters in the project location if this information is not provided in the contract documents.

a.Handling of curing water used in a styrene based thermoset resin liner installation:
(1)Collect and transport curing water from the site for reuse within another CIPP

location; and/or

(2)Collect the water and dispose or treat at off site facilities. Transport wastewaters

within vehicles that have a waste transporter permit 6NYCRR 364. Off-site disposal shall be at a publicly owned treatment works or at a disposal facility permitted to accept the wastewater. The Contractor shall conduct off site treatment to reduce styrene concentrations to acceptable levels to meet water quality standards prior to discharge to the receiving waters; and/or 602-3.02 Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 2026 VOLUME 3

(3)Treat wastewater on-site to acceptable styrene and thermal loading and discharge to

receiving waters in accordance with agreements received from the Regional NYSDEC Office.

b.For curing water from non-styrene based processes, collect water for disposal off-site as

described in A1 and A2 above or discharge on site if it does not contain pollutants that could cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards. Reduce temperature to prevent a violation of the thermal standards to the receiving waters.

c.Collect any excess resin and any curing materials at the upstream and downstream ends of

the installation for disposal.

d.Record and document quantities of curing water removed from the site. Provide

record/documentation of the reuse and/or disposal facility and quantity disposed of curing water leaving the site. After post-curing is completed, cool the liner to a temperature of 100o F prior to relieving the static head in the inversion standpipe. Cool-down may be accomplished by adding cool water into the inversion standpipe to replace warm curing water being removed from the liner. Contract documents may contain restrictions on the temperature of the released curing water or whether the curing water needs to be removed and treated. Any other proposed liner curing methods will be subject to the approval of the Director, Materials Bureau.

4.Workmanship / Damage / Defects. The finished pipe liner shall be continuous over the entire

length of an inversion run and be free of dry spots, lifts and delaminations. If any dry spots, lifts and delaminations exist, remove the liner in those areas. Mark a line 3 feet from both ends of the distressed area, cut the distressed area out, and replace it at no cost to the Department. If the Cured-In Place-Pipe (CIPP) liner does not fit against its termination point, seal the space between the pipe and liner with a resin mixture compatible with the CIPP. The liner may be sampled and tested for tensile and flexural properties in accordance with ASTM F 1216 at the discretion of the Department. Failure to meet the designed properties will be a cause for liner rejection.

5.Storm Drain Lateral Connections. Reconnect the existing storm drain lateral connections

after the liner has been cured in place. Use robotic cutting devices to reestablish tie-ins in non- man accessible pipes.

E.Lining with a new Liner Pipe-General. Before lining, pull or push a single piece of liner pipe

through the existing pipe to verify liner clearance. The liner must be positioned and secured to facilitate its complete encapsulation by grout. Follow the Manufacturer's recommendations for handling and assembling the pipe and all provisions included in the approved written proposal. When required, reconnect existing storm drain lateral connections by utilizing an open cut excavation, internal connection or remote installation using robotics. Prior to filling the annular space, connect and seal all laterals between the new liner pipe and the existing lateral. Grout the entire annular space. Provide a minimum annular space of 1 inch for grouting between the new and existing pipes. Provide details on how to hold the liner pipe to line and grade until the grout has set. If the volume of the grout used is less than the anticipated (calculated) volume, or an inspection of the relined culvert indicates that there are voids in the annular space, the Contractor must provide the EIC with a plan to rehabilitate all identified voids. Depending on the location and size of the voids, 602-3.02 Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 2026 VOLUME 3 additional grouting may be required in these areas. This may be accomplished by re-grouting in those areas from within the culvert. The voids must be filled to the satisfaction of the Engineer at no additional cost to the state. Grout that fills invert and connected voids is covered in the cost for these items.
