Development of Technological Solutions for Sewer Rehabilitation Using Clinker Brick

The aim of the work is to develop a technology for the restoration of damaged sections of sewer collectors using clinker bricks. A significant part of such collectors in the Ukraine has completely exhausted their depreciation resource. For their construction, concrete and reinforced concrete were used, which are subject to destruction as a result of the influence of many factors and, above all, microbiological corrosion. Therefore, the selection of the optimal repair technology using corrosion-resistant clinker brick is relevant. The paper considers the problems of repair and reconstruction of worn-out collectors. Technical and technological solutions of an open method for their recovery using pneumatic formwork and corrosionresistant clinker brick are presented. The design of the collector lining structure has been carried out using the finite element method. To justify the feasibility of using the proposed technology, two options for restoring a worn-out collector have been considered: the “pipe-in-pipe” method and method developed by the authors using clinker bricks. The second option in terms of the cost of materials is almost four times more economical and more expedient than the first one (where polymer materials are used). The advantage of restoring circular sewer collectors by means of laying clinker bricks lies in the durability and resistance of this material (taking into account the anticorrosive composition of concrete) to the aggressive effects of the sewer environment. It should be noted that the application of the developed restoration technology is the most appropriate in conditions of sparse building or outside the city due to the significant volume of earthworks.
