CIPP quality: Lessons learned from 25 years of research and testing

CIPP liner quality: What is the essence of two decades of IKT’s research?

Prof. Dr. Bert Bosseler, our Scientific Director, and colleagues identify the key factors that are crucial for the quality of the world’s most popular rehabilitation process for sewer pipes, Cured-in-Place-Pipes (CIPP).

In a peer-reviewed journal paper we have summarized all our findings. It is a comprehensive compilation of many research projects and many thousands of CIPP tests over the years.

We also highlight the challenges that remain and the key research issues that still need to be resolved.
