The short liner method is used to repair partial damage to sewers. The defective area is sealed off by inserting a short liner.


After the damaged pipe has been cleaned, the areas needing repair are located using a CCTV-camera and measured up accurately. A packer with the resin-impregnated short liner is placed at the relevant position.

On the spot to be repaired, the packer is inflated with compressed air causing the short liner to press against the inner wall of the pipe. The excess resin is ejected and thus seals any cracks and holes. After a short time the resin hardens, forming a solid bond with the fabric hose. The pipe diameter is only slightly reduced by the fabric hose. After hardening, the packer is vented and removed from the pipe.
