Influence of Infrastructure Rehabilitation Liners on Rinse Water Quality: Polymer Enhanced Cement Mortar and Polyurea
Liners
• Significance of stormwater infrastructure rehabilitation
• Laboratory leaching testing– Objectives– Methods– Results
• Conclusions, Recommendations
Overview
To Avoid Expensive Open Trench Techniques Trenchless Technologies are Being Used

Specific Objectives:1. Expose newly installed lining materials to
synthetic water for 30 days 2. Document inorganic and organic contaminant
levels in those contact waters3. Analyze and interpret results
Our Goal was to Characterize the potential that PECM and PEUU alter rinse water quality
Methods: A Static Leaching Procedure was Applied
Synthetic WaterWater pH 7.1 + 0.2

Conclusions
1. PECM and PEUU altered water quality for 30 days
2. PECM raised the pH and alkalinity for 30 days and released TOC for 6 days
3. PEUU released organics for 30 days (COD and TOC) and nitrogen and BOD5 for 3 days
Dynamic test procedure is needed Document water quality impacts caused by
different formulations, installation procedures Cautious approach: Rinse coatings after
installation and responsibly dispose of waters
