The technique of sliplining and replacement moling for water mains rehabilitation both involve the use of medium density polyethylene (MDPE) pipes in either lining the old main or replacing sections of it. The success of the techniques depend on detailed advance planning, careful design and effective site supervision.

This document provides assistance to engineers in all of these areas. Guidance on the choice of mains rehabilitation technique is given in the Water Mains Rehabilitation Manual. This report also complements the Manual for MDPE pipe systems for Water Supply which describes the use of MDPE pipes on new sites.
