DIGITAL TOOLS IN THE DESIGN PRACTICE FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF UNDERGROUND PIPELINES WITH TRENCHLESS METHODS

The article focuses on the possibilities of multi-optional design of repair and rehabilitation works on dilapidated pressure pipeline networks with the use of automated complexes in order to achieve minimum energy costs in water transportation with regard to the temperature factor. Two automated programs based on hydraulic and energy calculation operations are presented as digital tools. As a basic variant of reconstruction of dilapidated pipelines, the trenchless Swagelining technology was accepted. It is realized by pulling pre-compressed polymer pipes into old pipelines with their subsequent straightening. The paper presents information on regulatory and technical documentation and the application of advanced technology, installation and operation conditions, as well as comparative assessment of energy consumption after reconstruction of dilapidated sections of pipelines with polymer pipes with the possibility of minimizing energy consumption during water transportation under non-isothermal conditions of pipeline operation
