BACKGROUND:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a government scientific research facility located in Gaithersburg, MD. The facility buildings largely date to the early 1960’s.

A previous CIPP project found cracked and split cast iron laboratory waste piping in the under-floor utility trench in buildings 223 and 226. Subsequently, NIST Shops have reported leaking piping in building 224. Generally, due to the video surveillance in both previous project buildings, it is accepted that this 60-year-old piping shares the same general condition of having long linear cracks and complete axial splitting. The under-floor trench space is considered to be a confined space. This requirement is to utilize Cure in Place Pipe (CIPP) to conduct the repair to the 224 laboratory waste piping. All ground floor laboratory waste piping will be restored utilizing CIPP lining.
