The market of pipe rehabilitation has been growing consistently at 8 to 10 percent per annum in the last approximately 10 years (Sterling et. al., 2009). The annual market for rehabilitation of wastewater infrastructure in the U.S. was estimated to be $3.3 billion in 2007 by Underground Construction magazine (Costello et. al., 2007). Pipe rehabilitation methods use the existing pipe wall to form the new pipe or to support the new lining. Pipe rehabilitation can extend the life of the original pipe at occasions when excavation and replacement of the existing pipe is either infeasible or too expensive.
