Etymology
The term 'relining' originates from the prefix 're-', meaning 'again' or 'back', combined with 'lining', derived from the Old English word 'linian', which means 'to cover or line'. The practice of relining has been utilized since ancient times to maintain and repair various types of structures, particularly those that are exposed to harsh environmental conditions or excessive wear. In the modern era, advancements in materials science and construction technology have greatly improved the relining process, allowing for more efficient and effective repairs. The heightened focus on infrastructure maintenance and sustainability has placed increased emphasis on relining as a means to extend the lifespan of critical systems.
