Mr Waligorski will outline the project, which consisted of the rehabilitation or replacement of approximately 42,300 lineal ft of 6 inch, 8 inch, and 12 inch diameter sewer mains and the challenges encountered in determining the most cost-effective construction method.
He will outline the preliminary engineering approach used by the City to determine the most cost-effective method of replacement or rehabilitation using three construction technologies: conventional open-cut construction, pipe bursting, and cured-in-place pipe rehabilitation.
