Abstract

A method and apparatus for re-insulating underground steam pipe in situ includes the steps of creating at least one hole in the ground, inserting a liner into the hole, using a drill string to drill a hole in the conduit, inserting a tubing into the liner so that a first end of the tubing is positioned next to the pipe and a second end of the tubing is attached to a pumping system. The foam is then pumped through the tubing around the pipe and then the tubing is removed and the foam is allowed to cure and become rigid, thereby functioning as insulation. The plastic foam may be a polyisocyanurate or a urethane-modified polyisocyanurate.
