Client Objective
Restore pipeline functionality while protecting sensitive coastal environment and infrastructure.
Overview
Advantage Reline completed a streamlined pipeline rehabilitation project along a corridor adjacent to Highway 1, a bike path, and wetlands. The project focused on restoring a 10-inch medium-pressure line using trenchless technology that minimized disruption to the surrounding landscape and infrastructure. Completed in just one week, this project achieved the required 140 PSI pressure rating while accommodating 22-degree bends and demonstrating the value of minimally invasive methods in ecologically and publicly sensitive areas.
Challenges
The project location presented unique environmental and logistical constraints due to its proximity to Highway 1, an active bike path, and protected wetlands. The sensitive ecological environment required minimal ground disturbance to preserve environmental integrity, while the public infrastructure proximity demanded careful coordination to avoid disrupting traffic and recreational activities. Additionally, the pipeline's 22-degree bends created technical complexity that needed to be addressed while maintaining the required 140 PSI pressure rating.
Solution
Advantage Reline implemented a carefully planned approach beginning with strategically established dig access points for pipeline cleaning and inspection on the first day. The team then executed a seamless trenchless rehabilitation solution that proved both quick and cost-effective, completing the entire project within one week. This minimally invasive method successfully accommodated the pipeline's 22-degree bends while achieving the required 140 PSI pressure rating, restoring full functionality and ensuring long-term reliability without compromising the surrounding environment or disrupting public infrastructure.
"The reason we chose Advantage Reline and Primus Liner is because of Highway 1 and the wetland behind it. It was quick, it was cheap and no one else could give us the pressure rating."
