Abstract
The invention pertaining to a device and method for pipe rehabilitation, more specifically to a device and method for rehabilitating the junction of a building connection from a main pipeline into the building service line. With positioning means, a curable pipe lining is positioned at the junction of a building service line from a main line and with transport means the positioning means and the pipe lining are transported to the mentioned junction. The problem of the invention is to provide a device and a method for rehabilitating pipe connections, which simplify the reliable transportation and positioning of the pipe lining relative to the junction region of the building service line to be lined. This problem is solved by an alignment body, which is arranged so that it can move on the transport means and which can be moved into the junction of the building service line, and also by a drive for moving the alignment body into the junction of the building service line.
