Lessons Learned In Replacement Of 50 VCT Sewer Mains By City Crews
Speaker: David Harris, Director-Utilities, City of Brownwood
Information and lessons learned in replacement of 6"-12" VCT sewer mains with RJ-PVC utilizing static pipe bursting technology will be presented. Included are over 50 projects at various locations, depths, soil types and physical restraints. Projects were performed utilizing city crews to replace a failing collection system.
1 - 1:25 p.m.
Small Diameter “Micro” Pipe Bursting
Speaker: Brent Johnson, Senior Principal Engineer, Hazen and Sawyer
The city of Greensboro, NC, has successfully used a unique combination of static pipe bursting rods to upsize 2” waterlines to 6”. This previously unattainable feat was made possible by a two-pass bursting system created by KRG Utility and trenchless technologies. To date, more than 1,500 LF of 2” cast iron water main has been upsized with 6” fusible PVC. Pipe bursting pull lengths have ranged from 220 LF up to 400 LF. The session will focus on the planning, construction schedule, two-pass pipe bursting process, environmental benefits and cost comparison to open-cut replacement of water lines.
1:30 - 1:55 p.m.
Addressing Social And Environmental Impact In Madison, WI
Speaker: Alan Goodman, North America Sales Manager, HammerHead Trenchless
The current methods of pipe bursting and replacing water mains with pre-chlorinated pipe, with an emphasis on a case study of a project completed at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI, will be reviewed. A number of factors made pre-project planning critical to completing the project on time and on budget while assuring that access to the facility was maintained, safety issues were addressed and impact to the environment was controlled.
2 - 2:55 p.m.
Consolidated Mutual Water Company Continues With Pipe Bursting Rehabilitation Program For Distribution Mains
Speakers: Mike Queen, President, Consolidated Mutual Water Company; Richard “Bo” Botteicher, Senior Product Engineer, Underground Solutions Inc.
This presentation will review the current, on-going pipe bursting waterline rehabilitation program that Consolidated has undertaken. It will focus on the economics of pipe bursting installation that Consolidated has realized compared to traditional dig and replace methods over the last two years.
In 2010, Consolidated installed over 24,000 LF of replacement distribution water main utilizing pipe bursting installation methodology and fusible PVC pipe. The current program is slated to install another 30,000 LF of replacement water main in 2011.
