| Abstract |
Coating the insides of buried water pipes (>600mm diameter) with cement mortar is considered to be as effective as new pipelaying. Description of the method; considerations on accident hazards and corresponding safety measures. Principal hazards: electricity, dust containing free silica, noise from centrifugal cement coating machines; physical and postural strain, toxic gases and lack of oxygen inside pipes. |
