Abstract

A method of lining a passageway, such as an undergound sewer is disclosed. A fluent but thixotropic cementitious composition is sprayed onto the surface of the passageway, to form a lining of predetermined thickness and before the material has had time to flow to change its distribution on the surface, a flexible tube is everted onto the applied material, holding it in position until it is sufficiently cured.
