Ruutulekorjata

Ruutulekorjata is a term used in the context of trenchless technology, which involves installing pipes or cables without excavating the ground. A ruutulekorjaus can be described as a type of trenchless repair method. This process involves using a shaped steel sleeve to restore the lining of a damaged pipe. The sleeve is threaded into the damaged section of the pipe through an access point, and then hydraulically expanded to form a new linings.

The process of ruutulekorjata allows for the repair of pipes in a non-destructive manner, with minimal disruption to surrounding structures or the surrounding environment. This makes it a preferred method for pipe rehabilitation in areas with critical infrastructure, such as urban areas or areas with sensitive ecosystems. It is particularly useful for repairing damaged pipes under roads, railways, or in areas with high water tables, where traditional excavation methods would be too expensive or impractical.

The benefits of using ruutulekorjata include lower rehabilitation costs, reduced disruption to traffic or business, and the ability to repair damaged pipes in areas that would be difficult or impossible to access with traditional methods. However, there are also some limitations associated with the method, including the requirement for specialized equipment and the need for specialized training for personnel performing the repair.

The process is considered relatively environmentally friendly, as it reduces the need for excavation, which can result in soil compaction and disturbance to habitats. However, as with any type of infrastructure repair, the long-term sustainability of the repair will depend on factors such as the materials used and the level of maintenance and inspection provided after the repair.
