3. Global Infrastructure Crisis 2009 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure – per ASCE
Wastewater = D –
Bridges = C
Investing in infrastructure, has proven to be beneficial in the past, with a $7 return for every $1 of investment
Trenchless (no-dig) technologies are more cost-effective and less disruptive pipeline solutions to other traditional methods
These technologies benefit the health of people and the economy
4. Global Water Crisis The Clean Water Act was established 35 years ago to help prevent spills and environmental damage
The EPA estimates there are more than 40,000 sewer spills each year
Sinkholes are becoming a more common occurrence
Insituform’s flagship cured-in-place pipe technology helps to address these and other problems
5. Insituform was established in 1971 with the invention of the cured-in-place pipe method of underground pipeline rehabilitation
Developed by Eric Wood in the UK, the Insituform process was the first to rehabilitate underground pipelines without digging and disruption Insituform History
6. Developed in 1971, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is a trenchless technology developed by Insituform
The end product is a jointless, seamless, pipe-within a pipe that protects against spills, breaks and pipeline leakage
Insituform has installed over 15,000 miles of CIPP and has been the industry leader for over 35 years What is CIPP?
7. Benefits Eliminate infiltration and exfiltration
Restore structural integrity
Prevent sinkholes and surface settlement
Eliminate joints, root intrusion and leaks
Increase flow capacity
Protect pipes from corrosion
Increase pipe strength
Reduce maintenance
Minimal traffic disruption
Fewer social costs to open-cut
Suitable for irregularly shaped pipes and changes in pipe diameter
8. CIPP Installation Thermosetting resin is injected into a felt tube
The tube is inserted into an existing host pipeline by either pull-in or inversion
The tube is inflated to the size of the host pipe
The CIPP tube is cured using hot water or steam
Ends are cut and the final product is a fully-functional pipe-within-a-pipe

10. Trenchless technology is superior to dig and replace for a variety of reasons
Cost-effectiveness
Ease of Design
Production rates
Extends underground assets
Benefits environment Why Trenchless?
11. CIPP Affordability
12. Open Cut Pricing
13. Wet Out Insituform has seven wet out facilities strategically located throughout North America
All facilities are ISO-certified and comply to industry safety standards
Quality is constantly regulated and makes use of the most advanced wet out technologies
14. Resin - Once cured, thermosetting resin retains its shape with no residual memory.
Resin types:
Polyester
Vinyl Ester
Epoxy
Polyester resins are most used in gravity sewer rehabilitation due to their high flexural modulus, low tensile elongation and good chemical resistance. Resin

17. Air Inversion Steam Cure (AISC) Produces same high quality end product in shortened installation cycle
Specialized installation equipment to minimize footprint at manhole
Insituform material modified for steam cure
Available for a variety of diameter pipe
(8” – 72”)
Over 2 million feet installed using steam to date
18. High energy steam cure shortens installation cycle
Off street installation made with little disruption
Steam eliminates grade limitations
Minimal water required for cure
Air-Inversion Steam-Cure (AISC)
19. 30” Sewer – St. Louis MSD AISC
21. iPlus Composite™ iPlus Composite™ is suitable for the rehabilitation of medium to large diameter pipelines
Reinforced with carbon or glass fibers, it provides more strength and greater capacity
Thinner walls = less resin = better for the environment

23. From the outside in: Total wall thickness = 14mm
1) PVC pipe
2) PE seam “tape” on outer coated layer. Since this is a DOT type of installation, there is a coated layer on both the inside and outside of the Insituform CP.
3) Thin layer of normal Insituform felt
4) Glass fiber reinforced layer
5) Standard Insituform felt “core layers”
6) Carbon fiber reinforced layer
7) Protective layer of normal “Insituform”

24. iPlus Composite™ Sandwich technology
High modulus (stiff) outer “skins” bonded to a core with lower material properties
25. Completed iPlus Composite
26. iPlus Infusion™ - ASTM 1743 Small installation footprint minimizes disruption
Ideal for small backyard easements
700+ ft installations
Boiler truck can be located 250 ft from MH
27. iPlus Infusion™ Shorter cycle time
Smaller footprint
Shorter sewer outage
Reduced equipment on street
Minimal traffic disruption
Greater installation flexibility
28. iPlus Infusion™ Installation Step One: Tubes “wet-out” using controlled resin impregnation system
Step Two: A resin-saturated tube is pulled into damaged pipe
29. iPlus Infusion™ Installation Step Three: Air is used to inflate the tube and steam is used to cure the resin
Step Four: Service laterals are restored internally
30. Steam Cure 50% reduction in energy usage and 98% reduction in water usage over traditional water inversion/hot water cure
Virtually eliminates discharge of process water into sewers
No grade limitations
Shorter cool down allows lateral reinstatement to take place sooner
31. Reduced Equipment Requirements Smallest jobsite footprint of any CIPP process
Portable equipment
Ideal for off-road installations
Minimal traffic disruption
Reduces stress on tube
Shot lengths up to 230m
Meets or exceeds the physical properties set forth in ASTM F1743
32. Technical Envelope Infusion™
33. Insituform uses air and steam energy where applicable
Cuts down water use by 95%
Tube can be made from up to 98% recycled material
iPlus Composite and other technologies cut down on need for resin and other petroleum-based products
CIPP rehabilitation can prevent sewer spills, oil spills and water main breaks
